Introducing Vipernauts: The Operating System for Forensic Intelligence
The tools were losing.
That was the uncomfortable truth we confronted after years on the front lines of cross-continental fraud investigation. Fragmented systems. Institutional silos. Intake processes that re-traumatized the very people they were supposed to help. Meanwhile, criminal enterprises were becoming more sophisticated, more coordinated, and more global with each passing quarter.
The Gap Between What Exists and What's Needed
Every investigator knows the feeling. You're tracking a thread that spans three jurisdictions, four financial institutions, and dozens of shell companies. Your evidence lives in six different systems. Your testimony was captured in a format that won't survive a courtroom challenge. And somewhere between intake and prosecution, the thread breaks.
Evidence doesn't fail inside tools. It fails between them.
Five Layers, One Unbroken Chain
Vipernauts was built from a single conviction: the entire investigative workflow — from the first conversation with a victim to the final exhibit filed in court — must exist within one continuous architecture. No handoffs. No format conversions. No gaps where evidence degrades or provenance breaks.
Empathetic Intake — Jade conducts trauma-informed interviews in 40+ languages, capturing forensic-grade intelligence while protecting the people providing it.
Structuring and Attribution — Raw testimony becomes structured data. Every claim is attributed, every assertion sourced, every contradiction flagged.
Discovery Engine — Follow the money. Map the network. Behavioral analytics identify criminal finance by its fingerprint, not its label.
Synthesis and Fortification — Every piece of evidence is subjected to adversarial challenge before it ever reaches a courtroom. We find the weakest link so defense attorneys don't have to.
Legal and Reporting — From evidence to exhibit, formatted for any jurisdiction, with complete chain-of-custody documentation.
Why Now
Three converging forces make this moment critical:
- Scale of financial crime — $3.1 trillion laundered annually through the global financial system, with less than 1% ever detected.
- AI accountability — Proposed Federal Rule 707 will mandate reliability hearings for all AI-generated evidence. Platforms that can't prove provenance will be excluded.
- Victim impact — Only 14% of fraud victims ever report to law enforcement. Dismissive intake processes suppress the rest.
The asymmetry between sophisticated criminal enterprises and the fragmented tools used to fight them has reached a tipping point. Vipernauts exists to end that asymmetry.
What Comes Next
This blog will be our space to share what we're learning — about forensic intelligence, evidence fortification, the evolving regulatory landscape, and the technical architecture behind the platform. We believe transparency about methodology strengthens trust, and trust is the foundation of everything we build.
