We are a technology-driven research firm using open-source data, advanced analytics, and public records to identify and document government program fraud, corporate regulatory violations, and systemic abuse of public resources.
Greater corporate and government transparency is essential to a fairer, more prosperous and sustainable society.
We believe that open access to public data is the foundation of accountability. Our team analyzes government contracting records, business registrations, healthcare billing data, and immigration filings to detect patterns of fraud, waste, and abuse across federal and state programs.
We support investigative journalists, regulatory agencies, and anti-corruption researchers by providing data analysis, case documentation, and technical expertise — all sourced from publicly available information and open data platforms.
Data-driven investigations targeting the most costly forms of government fraud.
Multi-source correlation analysis identifying anomalous billing, wage suppression, shell company networks, and PPP loan abuse across federal datasets.
Cross-referencing corporate registrations, EINs, NPIs, and DUNS numbers to map ownership networks and identify related-party transactions.
Building scalable analysis pipelines that ingest, normalize, and enrich public data from CMS, DOL, SBA, SEC, and state business registries.
Case documentation, evidence packaging, and False Claims Act submission preparation for qui tam relators and their legal counsel.
Data-driven research and analysis supporting journalists covering government fraud, corporate accountability, and regulatory failures.
Promoting transparency through the use and improvement of open government data platforms including SAM.gov, USAspending, and Data.CMS.gov.
Rigorous methodology built on publicly available data and reproducible analysis.
Ingest data from CMS, DOL, SBA, SEC, IRS, and state business registries — all publicly available at no cost.
Link entities across datasets by EIN, NPI, DUNS, and corporate registration to build comprehensive profiles.
Apply statistical and rule-based detection to surface patterns consistent with fraud, waste, or abuse.
