Follow up ![](https://publicinsights.uk/hubfs/Product%20Hero%20Background.png) Built like an investigator ## Built and tested against real investigations. We evaluate the AI Assistant against published investigations. Starting with the same initial entity and no additional hints, we test whether it can uncover the relationships and structures previously identified through detailed manual research. 01 ### Evidence before answers The assistant works from the entities, relationships and sources inside the investigation. 02 ### Uncertainty is made visible Possible matches and unconfirmed relationships are framed conditionally rather than presented as fact. 03 ### Every run can be reviewed Investigators can inspect the network, findings and supporting sources before relying on an assessment. Evaluation method *Repeatable process* 01 Benchmark ### Published investigation Known relationships established through detailed manual research. 02 Starting point ### Same initial entity The assistant receives one subject, with no disclosed conclusions. **Initial subject** No hints · No prior context *Seed* 03 Independent test ### Blind AI investigation The assistant expands and analyses the available public records. Expand relationships Read source material Generate findings 04 Evaluation ### Relationships compared We assess what was recovered, what was missed and what needs review. Published ↔ Assistant Quality is measured against investigative usefulness, not a generic AI benchmark. Investigation scenarios ## Built for the investigations you perform every day. Whether you're conducting due diligence, investigating fraud or researching a complex corporate structure, the AI Assistant helps you uncover relevant relationships faster while keeping the investigation transparent and reviewable. 01 ### Enhanced Due Diligence Rather than manually reviewing dozens of connected companies, officers and addresses, start with the subject and let the assistant map the wider corporate network before highlighting relationships that deserve closer examination. Outputs - Corporate structures - Beneficial ownership - Related entities - Areas requiring review Corporate ownership network Subject Holding company Operating company Director Registered address Beneficial owner Officer Shared ownership identified 02 ### Corporate Security & Insider Threats Expand networks around employees, suppliers or external individuals to identify connected businesses, shared addresses and relationships that could support security investigations. Outputs - Corporate affiliations - Shared addresses - Company ownership - Identity verification Employee and supplier network Employee External individual Supplier A Supplier B Shared address Director Shared address surfaced 03 ### Fraud & Financial Crime Reveal hidden company relationships, common directors and ownership structures across larger networks, helping investigators prioritise where to focus manual analysis.
