Public-records intelligence for oversight

Find the organizations you fund that don't hold up.

Reckton reads the public filings behind every vendor and grantee you pay and flags where their records contradict each other or your own ledger. Sourced, evidence-graded, never an accusation — just where to look, before an auditor or a reporter does.

  1. 01Front-run the audit

    Get there first

    See the contradictions in your own records before an auditor, a reporter, or an opponent does.

  2. 02Lead → records request

    Open the right cases

    Each lead is a specific payment against a specific record — with the records request that would close it.

  3. 03Defensible in a hearing

    Stake your name on it

    Leads, never accusations. Every claim is a documented contradiction you can put your name behind.

How it works

Three moves from a public record to a lead you can defend.

FIG 01

Read the whole record

Every filing behind every payment — 990s, audits, state registries, the city ledger. The entire pile, not a sample.

FIG 02

Cross-check every source

The same fact, checked across filings and four independent models. Roughly 88.5% of leads fall away right here.

FIG 03

Surface the graded lead

What survives comes back as a sourced, evidence-graded contradiction — with the exact records request that closes it.

The detection library

Seventy detection patterns — and it learns a new one with every case.

Thirty-one fraud signals and thirty-nine forensic methods, refined across $11 billion of spending. The recipes stay ours — the six families they fall into are below.

What it screens for · six families

  1. 01

    Pass-throughs & shells

    Money routed through a hollow entity to blur where it lands.

  2. 02

    Self-dealing & conflicts

    The people deciding the money are tied to who receives it.

  3. 03

    Cross-filing contradictions

    The same fact, sworn two opposite ways to two governments.

  4. 04

    Procurement gaming

    Spending engineered to stay under the line that triggers review.

  5. 05

    Status & fiscal distress

    Public money reaching entities that can't legally take it — or can't survive.

  6. 06

    Independence failures

    The watchdog and the watched turn out to be the same hand.

Source: hand-curated evidence file for the Urban Alchemy / Mid-Market Foundation matter (San Francisco), built from the framework-rerun survivors and the 2026 forensic review. Urban Alchemy's own books were examined and cleared; the open leads concern the conduit nonprofit and its disclosures. Nothing here asserts wrongdoing by any individual.

What you're buying

Comprehensive

The whole budget, not a sample — each department's full vendor universe run against the entire detection library.

Weeks → daysthen continuous, not once a year

Fast

Months of analyst reading, compressed — and it keeps running after the first pass instead of waiting for next year's audit.

< 1forensic-audit engagement

A fraction of the cost

A standing oversight capability for less than a single one-off forensic audit — and cheaper per case the longer it runs.
