Use cases

Journalists & Researchers

A tip arrives as an email, a phone number, or a profile URL. Search that, follow the domains it points to, and keep every subject on one investigation.

The notebook is a file of searches, each tied to the identifier you started from. A PDF is the snapshot you can hand an editor.

A tip about a company

A source sends marina.voss@mailbox.example and says she is tied to Ledger & Co. You search the person, then the company domain. A name alone is not a search. This is a sample of the trail.

  1. Search 1Person

    marina.voss@mailbox.example

    The person record and the organizations named on it.

  2. Search 2Company

    ledger-and-co.example

    The company record for the domain in the tip.

Filed together as Ledger & Co — tip

How to run it

  1. 1

    Start from an identifier

    Search a person by email, phone, or profile URL. Expose does not search by name alone. If the tip is only a name, find one of those identifiers first.

  2. 2

    Follow the organizations

    When a domain matters, search it as a company or a school. Each report stays separate, so you can see what came from which search.

  3. 3

    Build the case file

    Add every subject to an investigation. Export a PDF when the desk needs a snapshot that will not change under you.

  4. 4

    Search from the writing tool

    The MCP server and the Agent Skill let an agent run the same searches while you write. The CLI is there for a one-off in the terminal, including a JSON result you can pipe.

What you start with

  • An email address
  • A phone number
  • A profile URL
  • A company or school domain

What comes back

  • Names and aliases on the record
  • Other emails and phones
  • Profile URLs
  • Roles, employers, and education
  • The organization record for a domain

Connect it

Same search, from the tool you already have open.
