Forensic document intelligence

Know what's actually in your business.

Clouseau reads everything your business has written down — emails, contracts, receipts, spreadsheets, scans and chat, in any language — and joins the dots you can't.

Mac & Windows app your documents stay on your machine

01The problem

There's always more in there than you know.

Years of email, contracts, receipts and chat are more than any person — or team — can hold in their head. The duplicate payment, the lapsed renewal, the contract that quietly stopped being compliant — they're hidden, and can surface at any time.

Which means you're flying at least partly blind — and so is everyone you compete with.

02Point it at everything

It reads it all, and joins the dots.

Drop in years of files in any format, any language. Clouseau reads every one, pulls out the people, amounts, dates and documents involved, and connects them into a single picture of what's actually going on — across thousands of files, in minutes.

…and paper, handwriting, and non-Latin scripts — read the same way.

Clouseau — Overview
Clouseau Overview: 3,072 documents read, topics surfaced automatically.

Three thousand documents, read end to end — with the main themes grouped automatically.

03Findings, not summaries

It tells you where to look — before you ask.

Clouseau surfaces the anomalies on its own: duplicate payments, sequence gaps, undocumented retainers, currency-trail oddities. Each one explained in plain terms — and traced back to the documents behind it.

A salary stream reconciled across every bank statement, with gaps and overpayments flagged.

One salary stream, reconciled across every bank statement — missing months and overpayments flagged against the stated figure.

04Grounded

Every answer shows its work.

Against your own files.

Flag a weekend expense and click straight through to the receipt behind it. Nothing is asserted without the source sitting right beside it — the parties, the amounts, the dates, and the original document, open in one click.

So you can confirm it yourself, instead of taking it on trust.

A cited bank statement opened in full, with extracted parties, amounts and dates beside it.

And against the live world.

Your files only tell you what was true when they were written. Clouseau checks them against what's true today — in the same conversation, with citations to both.

  • Are these employment contracts still compliant with current local law?
  • Are our customs codes and categories up to date?
  • Does our VAT treatment still hold?
  • Is there GDPR exposure we've missed?

05What ChatGPT and NotebookLM can't

Built for the documents a business actually has.

A handwritten Chinese receipt parsed into a structured summary.

Every format, even handwriting.

Paper, PDFs, screenshots, photos of receipts, spreadsheets, emails, chat. A handwritten receipt in Chinese is read the same way as a typed English invoice.

1,000,000documents, and it barely skips a beat

We've run Clouseau across more than a million documents drawn over years — far past the point where reading them yourself is an option.

Transaction trails grouped by currency.

Every language and currency.

Mixed-script contracts, non-Latin scripts, margin notes. ¥380,000 never gets quietly conflated with ₹380,000.

Private by design

Nothing leaves your machine.

No cloud workspace to upload your files to, no shared index, no copies sitting on someone else's server. Clouseau reads your files locally — point it at a folder and they stay there.

06In practice

Search it, ask it, export the answer.

Search for it when you know what you're looking for. Ask in plain English when you don't. Then turn what you find into a report or a document pack.

A clean answer out

PDFReport ZIPDocument pack PDFFindings list

A report, a document pack, or a findings list — ready to act on.

Clouseau — Chat
Asking Clouseau to clarify two salary payments; it answers with a cited table.

“Show me every salary payment in Q3.” A cited, report-ready answer — with the documents it drew from listed underneath.

Export — Report

Compile the findings worth keeping into a PDF report.

Export — Bundle
A bundle of source documents ready to hand on.

Or bundle the source documents into a pack for internal analysis or an auditor.

07Who it's for

One capability, several jobs.

The owner who inherited a mess.

Three years of accounting in another language, supply contracts nobody translated, a quarterly payment to an entity you don't recognise. Open it, ask “what should I worry about?”, and get a list back — vendors off the approved roster, renewals about to lapse, disputes that never reached you.

The controller running monthly checks.

Drop in the month's documents, run the pass, review what's flagged. Catches what sampling misses: invoices just under approval thresholds, duplicate payments under slightly different names, missing receipts, miscategorised expenses.

The compliance or legal lead.

A demand letter just landed. Build the first-pass document review yourself over a weekend and hand your lawyer a structured findings pack — and keep the fee for the part that genuinely needs a lawyer.

08Case study

Twenty-three minutes inside the Enron emails.

Four findings Clouseau surfaced from the public Enron release — documented threads that don't appear in the standard secondary literature. The document search and the public-record verification ran in the same conversation.
