Use Cases

Expose Hidden Connections to Prevent Conflicts-of-Interest

Public sector agencies must identify conflicts-of-interest between officials and private companies to uphold public trust. Undisclosed business affiliations can lead to governance failures, procurement bias, and regulatory breaches. Mapping the ownership, directorships, and affiliations of public officials helps prevent fraud, corruption, and favoritism. Ongoing monitoring ensures transparency in decision-making and procurement processes.
