Investigative Journalism & FOIA Deep-Dives
Turn massive FOIA dumps into a bulletproof, cited chronology in a day.
Investigative newsrooms frequently acquire massive, disorganized data dumps via Freedom of Information Act requests, leaked hard drives, or public municipal records. By securely uploading millions of unstructured emails, financial ledgers, and scanned PDFs, investigative teams can instantly connect the dots on complex corruption or corporate malfeasance stories. The platform maps connections between shell companies, political figures, and transaction dates.
Reporters can conversationally query the dataset to find exact intersections between campaign donations and municipal contract awards. Because the platform relies on hardcoded, deterministic calculations rather than AI guesses, journalists can generate bulletproof, citation-backed chronologies of events, turning months of manual document review into same-day investigative breakthroughs.
Document Digitization
Use Steeped AI's document digitization to extract clean, highly accurate text from decades-old scanned municipal PDFs and poorly formatted FOIA document dumps. Ledgers and letters that arrive as images become searchable, structured records, so no smoking gun stays buried in a bad scan.
Location Intelligence
Use Steeped AI's location intelligence to map the addresses of shell companies or campaign donors to specific political districts and uncover geographical anomalies. When a cluster of donations rings one council seat, the pattern becomes visible on a map instead of hiding in a spreadsheet.
AI Topic Mapping
Use Steeped AI's AI topic mapping to turn millions of emails and filings into measurable entities like shell companies, donations, and contract awards. Quantify how often each appears and where they intersect, so a reporter follows the money with counts, not hunches.
Citations & Reporting
Every finding deeplinks back to the exact email, ledger line, or filing that produced it, with zero AI invention. Before publication, an editor can trace each claim in the chronology to its source document, so the story stands up to legal review and hostile scrutiny alike.
