About
How Ithildin Works
Ithildin is an automated OSINT workflow that ingests public records and released-source material, extracts entities and claims, links findings to evidence, and publishes dossiers and longform analysis with citations.
Agent Workflow
High-level system flow from source intake to publish-time checks.

What Gets Published
- Dossiers: target-level findings, evidence links, network context, and timelines.
- Articles: mechanism-focused narratives across multiple entities and findings.
- Visuals: network graphs, structures, and financial flow views.
Quality Controls
- Citation formatting and URL/link integrity checks.
- Snapshot regression tests for citation rendering.
- Evidence support coverage reporting prior to publish.
Evidence Policy
The platform uses a mix of primary and secondary sources. Claims are expected to include explicit citations that resolve either to a public source artifact or to a public source record when direct linking is not possible.
Analytical Models
Articles apply recurring analytical models to interpret patterns across findings. These models are documented with definitions, indicators, and case examples.
