Build an AI-native fraud case-building platform that accelerates False Claims Act (FCA) and qui tam investigations for whistleblower law firms, state AGs, and inspectors general.
Objective:
Transform a raw insider tip into a structured, evidence-backed, complaint-ready case — reducing investigation time from months or years to weeks.
This is not a fraud dashboard.
It is an intelligent system that ingests messy documents, traces opaque corporate relationships, extracts patterns of misconduct, and assembles legally defensible case files.
Core vision:
Today, fraud investigations under the False Claims Act are slow and manual:
- An insider submits a tip
- Lawyers gather documents
- Analysts sift through PDFs and claims data
- Corporate structures are manually mapped
- Evidence is assembled by hand
This platform uses AI to automate the evidence organization and narrative-building process while preserving legal traceability.
Core system architecture:
1. Tip-to-Case Intake Engine
- Secure whistleblower submission portal
- Structured intake for allegations, timelines, and known actors
- Initial AI-assisted hypothesis extraction
- Automatic case workspace creation
Goal: convert a narrative tip into structured investigative hypotheses.
2. Document Ingestion and Parsing Pipeline
- Upload and parse large volumes of PDFs, emails, contracts, claims data, and spreadsheets
- OCR for scanned documents
- Table extraction for invoices and billing records
- Entity extraction (names, NPIs, EINs, addresses, bank accounts, contract IDs)
- Page-level citation tracking for legal defensibility
All extracted facts must link back to source location.
3. Entity Resolution and Corporate Structure Mapping
- Resolve related entities across datasets
- Detect shared addresses, ownership, management, and payment flows
- Map shell companies and layered corporate hierarchies
- Build an explainable relationship graph
Investigators should see how entities connect and where suspicious overlap occurs.
4. Pattern Detection and Evidence Clustering
- Identify anomalous billing patterns
- Flag duplicate claims, suspicious timing, and inflated charges
- Compare against peer benchmarks
- Surface statistically abnormal behavior with explainable factors
Each finding must include:
- Supporting documents
- Confidence score
- Clear reasoning
5. AI Case Builder
- Organize findings into structured allegations
- Generate draft complaint sections with citations
- Build timeline of misconduct
- Assemble exhibit index automatically
- Package evidence into complaint-ready files
Every claim must be traceable to underlying evidence.
6. Investigator Workbench
- Case timeline with immutable action log
- Evidence graph visualization
- Task assignments and SLA tracking
- Notes and annotations with citation support
- Referral workflow for DOJ or AG escalation
7. Legal-Grade Audit and Traceability
- Immutable investigation timeline
- Versioned narrative drafts
- Source citation tracking (document, page, snippet)
- Exportable audit logs
- Oversight-ready reporting
Roles:
- system-admin
- fraud-manager
- investigator
- analyst
- oversight-auditor
Data model:
- tips
- programs
- transactions
- entities
- entity-links
- parsed-documents

Performance metrics:
- Time from tip to complaint draft
- Average documents processed per case
- Evidence coverage ratio
- Case cycle time
- Dollars recovered per investigation
- False-positive trend
- Referral acceptance rate
System requirements:
- Secure data isolation and encryption
- Strong access controls
- Full traceability for legal proceedings
- High-volume document processing
- Scalable entity graph engine
- Explainable AI outputs
Create a modern startup design inspired by Y Combinator (YC) companies.
Choose one bright primary color and build a clean, minimal color scheme around it.
The design should feel bold, simple, and product-focused with strong typography, generous whitespace, and clear hierarchy.
