Long (two paragraphs)

Tracelight is a hosted OSINT investigation platform built for the segment of the market underserved by enterprise tooling and overserved by command-line scripts: private investigators, M&A diligence teams at boutique firms, insurance fraud SIUs, and investigative reporters at lean newsrooms. The product runs 32 parallel OSINT workers — covering breach indices, sanctions lists, court records, social media, dark-web monitoring, corporate registries, and more — and produces a structured profile + signed PDF report in under a minute.

The differentiator is the citation appendix: every claim in the narrative links to the evidence row that produced it, which links to the raw API response. This makes the work product reproducible months later when it ends up in a deposition, an audit, or a DSAR request. Tracelight is FCRA-aware, GDPR-friendly, and architected for SOC 2 readiness. It launched in May 2026 and is built and operated from Miami, Florida.
