Red Flag RadarForensic public-record signals
Pilot specification

Portfolio-matched public-record enrichment

A scoped, paid engagement to evaluate — on your own book — whether public-record events (SBA credit outcomes, FMCSA operating-authority status, OSHA workplace-safety enforcement, EPA environmental enforcement, openFDA product recalls, USPTO IP collateral, SBA PPP loans, Form 5500 identity, federal award dependency and SEC presence) add decision-relevant signal to your counterparty assessment. No platform to adopt, nothing to integrate to decide.

Duration 60–90 days Scope a subset of your counterparties Effort on your side one file in, one review session

1What you provide

A list of the US counterparties you want assessed. Dirty legal names are fine — resolution is our job, not yours.

Delivered as CSV or JSONL over an encrypted channel. Typical pilot size: 500–5,000 names.

2What you receive

Examples — the shape of a consolidated dossier (illustrative)

A distribution SME

a dirty name in your file, resolved and enriched

  • Identity — Form 5500EIN-grounded · NAICS 42 · ~40 active participants
  • SBA credit2 loans found · 1 charged off (2023) · 2 of 2 outcome-observable
  • FMCSAno confident match
  • OSHA3 inspections · no willful/repeat violations
  • EPA2 regulated facilities · no formal enforcement action
  • USPTO IPno patent security interests
  • Federal awardsno federal contracts on record
  • SECno confident match

The signal is the SBA charge-off — a late, loan-level outcome, not a company default. Entity confidence: medium (name + state).

A regional motor carrier

the same resolution, a different register lights up

  • Identity — Form 5500EIN-grounded
  • FMCSAoperating authority SUSPENDED after an insurance lapse (2024)
  • OSHA1 willful safety violation cited (2023)
  • EPA1 formal enforcement action (Clean Water Act, 2022)
  • SBA credit1 loan · paid in full
  • USPTO IP / Federal / SECno confident match

The signal is the FMCSA authority suspension — it bars the interstate for-hire operations covered by that authority while the suspension remains in force.

And, where a company pledged its patents as loan collateral, the IP-collateral detail — a real record from the corpus:

3How matching & signal are validated

4Data handling & security

  • —Data minimization. We need names + identifiers, nothing about your exposures, limits or pricing.
  • —Encrypted in transit and at rest; access limited to the operator running the pilot; no third-party processors beyond the hosting infrastructure.
  • —Deleted at the end of the pilot (or on request), unless you choose to continue. Your list is never redistributed, resold, or used to train anything.
  • —A data-processing agreement is available; processing location and retention terms are fixed in writing before any file is sent.

5What success looks like

The pilot is a measurement, not a demo. We agree the bar up front; these are the axes we score.

MeasureWhat it answers
Coverage on your bookshare of your counterparties with ≥1 finding in any register, on recent years
Noveltyshare of findings you did not already hold in your credit file
Audited precisioncorrectness of the match and the per-register findings on a stratified reviewed sample
Timelinessfor each finding, the gap between the public record date and the date it reached you — how much of your review window we give back
Decision relevanceon named cases, would the signal have changed or informed a call?

If the honest answer is « not enough », that is a valid, cheap result — and you have lost nothing but a scoped engagement.

7Beyond the pilot

If the signal proves its worth, the pilot converts to a recurring enrichment feed — your book re-scored as new records post across every register. Candidate extensions, only if you ask: further public registers, trademark security interests, and delivery into your existing workflow.
