Method

Truth-seeking before convenience.

SpectreIntel is built to separate fact, inference, legal meaning and risk. It does not accept a case narrative as proof. It reconstructs the case through traceable sources, documents, digital traces and explicit uncertainty.

Truth-Seeking

No important statement without a traceable basis.

SpectreIntel works under a cold rule: source beats impression, document beats assumption, evidence beats narrative. Facts are separated from inference. Risk is separated from proof.

Working Discipline

Minimal, operational, non-ornamental.

The system is not a demo shell and not a dashboard. It is a working case structure with discovery, next-step planning, case graph persistence and an operational UI shell.

Core Layers

What each layer actually does.

Discovery

Expand the verification space.

Finds candidate sources, candidate documents, candidate entities and candidate contradictions, then validates only the top-ranked outputs selectively.

Planner

Choose the next valid step.

Fixes the current objective, next step, case state and blocking conditions in a deterministic rule-based way.

Case Graph

Persist what matters.

Stores useful nodes, edges, provenance and cross-artifact links for one case without inflating into a decorative graph.

UI

Expose the case as work.

Lets a real user inspect sources, entities, evidence, gaps, risk and the next valid step without reading raw repo files.

Extensions

Funding and procedural challenges enter the same discipline.

Funding Declared funding is not treated as proved funding without a contract, decision or registry trace.
Eligibility Conditions, milestones and indicators stay separate from labels until they are documented.
Challenges A challenge or litigation trace is a legal signal, not automatic proof of irregularity.
Risk Risk explains what comes from evidence and what comes from missing documents.
