Public Notice: Information on this platform is generated by PREDICATE AI models analyzing public court records. While continuously verified, content may contain errors or inaccuracies and does not constitute legal advice.

Methodology

How we gather, verify, and present public records.

Source Types

  • PACER — Federal court dockets and filings
  • State Court E-Filing — Circuit and county court records
  • GovInfo — Published federal opinions and orders
  • Delaware Chancery — Chancery Court published opinions
  • Bankruptcy Dockets — PACER bankruptcy court records
  • Public Registries — Corporate, UCC, and vessel registrations

Normalization Rules

  • Entity names are normalized to their most commonly used form in public filings
  • Aliases are cross-referenced across dockets to confirm identity
  • Case numbers follow the court's official format (e.g., 0:23-cv-61696-RNS)
  • Dates use ISO 8601 format; where ambiguous, the earliest filed date is used
  • Monetary values are extracted from the record; where ranges exist, the conservative figure is shown

What We Exclude

  • Sealed or confidential filings
  • Settlement terms not filed with the court
  • Unverified third-party claims without court record
  • Private communications not entered as evidence
  • Conclusions of criminal conduct not reflected in a judicial order

Verification Statuses

Every published flag carries one of five statuses. You should never have to guess why we consider something established. Each verified status also records a verification basis — the kind of record it rests on, such as a court order, a filed affidavit, or a certified transcript.

Verified Public Record · Tier 1
Court order, docket entry, filed pleading, agency complaint or response. Requires a source document, a hash, a court or agency, a case number, and a date.
Verified Testimony · Tier 2
Sworn affidavit or certified transcript. Also requires the speaker and the page:line. Attorney argument is not testimony.
Verified Correspondence on Docket · Tier 2F
An email or letter actually filed or admitted in a public proceeding. Correspondence that merely discusses a filing does not qualify.
Analysis · Tier 3
Our own inference, timeline, or entity map. Labeled ANALYSIS — NOT TESTIMONY — NOT A COURT FINDING, with the source chain disclosed so you can disagree.
Evidence Gap · Tier 4
An open lead or missing document, published as a question and never as an assertion.

Sealed is not missing. A sealed or protective-order document is known to exist and is a hard publication block. We log it and never render it.

We publish our gaps on purpose. See /evidence-gaps for everything we have not verified. Exports to regulators and law enforcement carry only the three verified statuses; the public site shows all five, labeled.
