Public-records intelligence for oversight

See where your spending doesn't add up.

Reckton reads the public records behind every payment and flags where they contradict each other or a vendor's legal status — sourced, evidence-graded, and ready to investigate. It never accuses. It shows your team where to look.

See it in your own records first.

A live workspace of graded, cross-verified findings — each one a documented contradiction in the public record.

  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

Accurate enough to defend. Fast enough to matter.

$11B+every vendor · every filing · 70 patterns

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.
