FigureFile Brief

A research dashboard that continuously ingests court filings, SEC actions, DOJ press releases, and lobbying disclosures to build living profiles of named business figures (CEOs, billionaires, sports-team owners) and alerts journalists when new activity appears.

Target user

Investigative journalists and business-news researchers tracking high-profile figures

Features
  • Per-figure timeline merging indictments, civil suits, regulatory letters, and filings in one feed
  • Side-by-side source comparison so reporters see what each outlet actually said vs the headline
  • Saved-search alerts when a specific person, entity, or law firm appears in new filings
  • Source-credibility score for each claim pulled from trending news, with links to primary documents
Why now

Mark Walter's FBI investigation story drove a spike of 'who is this person and what are they in trouble for?' searches; journalists and curious readers want a single trusted source instead of stitching together scattered reports.
