Predicts the geographic origin of an image from pixel content alone, no metadata required. Proprietary model trained on global geospatial features for location plausibility verification.

Module 02Agentic AI

Agentic Plausibility Checks

Autonomous AI agents verify document claims against external sources in real time. OSINT-driven background verification of companies, addresses, and financial data without human intervention.

Module 03Deterministic

OCR Data Extraction

Extracts structured data from documents: invoice amounts, dates, addresses, tax IDs, and line items. Deterministic extraction pipeline.

Module 04Proprietary Model

Detection of Minors

Identifies depictions of minors in uploaded media for content safety compliance. Proprietary classification model for age-group estimation in visual content.

Module 05Proprietary Model

Detection of Nudity

Detects nudity and explicit content in uploaded images for automated content moderation. Proprietary model with configurable severity thresholds.

Module 06Deterministic

QR Code & Link Detection

Detects and decodes embedded QR codes, URLs, and hyperlinks within documents and images. Identifies potential phishing links, malicious redirects, and suspicious embedded targets.

Module 07Deterministic

Phone Number Detection

Extracts and validates phone numbers from documents and images. Deterministic PII detection for compliance workflows, contact verification, and fraud pattern analysis.

Deep Technology

Beyond Forensics. Contextual Intelligence.

Visual forensics detects what was changed. The Information Trust Layer understands whether what is claimed makes sense. An agentic verification layer that autonomously cross-references document content against real-world data sources.

  • Contextual Plausibility

    Goes beyond pixel-level analysis to verify whether the content of a document is internally consistent and externally plausible.

  • Agentic Verification

    Autonomous AI agents execute multi-step verification workflows, querying external registries, maps, and databases without human prompting.

  • Structured Data Extraction

    Deterministic OCR pipelines extract structured fields from documents, enabling automated validation of amounts, dates, and identifiers.

  • Content Safety Classification

    Proprietary models for detecting minors, nudity, and embedded threats. Content moderation as an integrated layer, not a separate service.

A multi-stage orchestration pipeline that combines deterministic extraction, proprietary classification models, and agentic verification workflows. Each module contributes structured signals that are aggregated into a unified trust assessment.

Agentic Verification

Autonomous Document Plausibility Checks

A perfectly forged document can pass every visual forensic test. The Information Trust Layer adds a second dimension: autonomous agents that verify whether the claims inside a document are true, not just whether the document looks authentic.

Each agentic check executes a multi-step verification workflow against external data sources in real time. No human intervention, no manual OSINT. The system decides what to verify and how.

Check 01

Company Registry Match

Verifies that the issuing company exists, is active, and matches the claimed registration number against official commercial registries.

Check 02

Address Verification

Cross-references stated addresses against Google Maps and postal databases. Validates that the address exists and is plausible for the document type.

Check 03

Invoice Sum Validation

Recalculates line items, tax rates, and totals from extracted OCR data. Detects arithmetic inconsistencies that indicate manual manipulation of amounts.

Check 04

Fee Schedule Consistency

Compares billed amounts against known fee schedules and rate tables. Identifies charges that deviate from standard pricing for the claimed service.

Check 05

Document Cross-Reference

Compares claims across multiple submitted documents. Detects contradictions in dates, amounts, addresses, or identifiers across a document set.

Real-World Performance

Built for Reality, not for the Lab.

Contextual verification cannot rely on clean, structured inputs. Real-world documents arrive as scans, photos, compressed PDFs, and blurry smartphone captures. Our extraction and verification pipeline is hardened for these conditions.

Agentic checks execute against live external sources (registries, maps, databases) and handle timeouts, ambiguous results, and partial matches gracefully.

Frequently asked questions

Visual forensics detects what was changed in the pixels. Contextual verification checks whether the claims inside a document make sense: whether the issuing company exists, the address is real, and the amounts add up. A perfectly forged document can pass every visual test. The Information Trust Layer catches it through its content.

Autonomous AI agents execute multi-step verification workflows against external data sources in real time: company registries, maps and postal databases, fee schedules, and cross-references across entire document sets. The system decides what to verify and how, without human intervention or manual OSINT research.

More than 10 external sources, including official commercial registries, geolocation and postal databases, and fee schedule repositories. Source priority is configurable per customer, and on-premise deployments route all checks through customer-controlled egress.

A proprietary model predicts the geographic origin of an image from pixel content alone, using global geospatial features. This enables location plausibility verification even when EXIF data is missing, stripped, or deliberately manipulated.

Yes. Proprietary models detect depictions of minors and nudity, and deterministic modules decode QR codes, links, and phone numbers to flag phishing attempts and PII. Content moderation runs as an integrated layer in the same API call, not as a separate service.

End-to-end latency is under 3 seconds including external source verification, with all checks executed in parallel. The architecture is zero-retention: documents are processed in memory and immediately discarded. Hosted in Germany and EU AI Act compliant.
