First Anchor · Shipped April 2026
EmberGraph Intel
Forensic graph analysis on public records. Built for litigation, alternative-data signal analysis, and compliance. The proof that PDTI's multi-anchor model is repeatable.
EMI ships across six product lines — litigation intelligence, fraud and False Claims Act, compliance pattern detection, alternative-data signal, corporate intelligence, and marketing & brand intelligence. Each line configures the same engine and named primitives for a different buyer audience. The system surfaces structural patterns in primary-source documents; humans interpret them. Math-based pattern detection, not chatbot synthesis. Every claim hashed back to a source document.
Three named primitives · in plain English
Primitive 01
Anchor Convergence
When dozens of documents reference the same organization under different names, the system collapses them onto one canonical legal entity and pulls the load-bearing source.
Soft-cluster-to-anchor resolution across unstructured corpora.
Primitive 02
Constellation Grounding
When a government URL goes dead, the connector walks a per-source ladder of alternate hosting locations until the document resolves and hash-validates.
Retrieval resilience across mirrors (state.gov → GAO → govinfo → Wayback).
Primitive 03
Cognoscenti Filter
Twelve-pattern library that surfaces soft signals investigators recognize: magic numbers persisting across documents, citation laundering, methodology fabrication, amplifier networks.
Pattern library v1.0 — 12 patterns, sealed-evidence rendering.
