Intelligence.
Without the blind spots.
Built for decisions.
Independent intelligence, investigations, surveillance, technical security and accountable technology. Commission a specialist capability or work directly inside Blackout OS — where evidence, provenance and human judgement come first.

Blackout Intelligence / Private commissions
Commission the intelligence. Know what to do next.
You bring the question. We agree the scope, examine the sources and separate what can be established from what remains uncertain. The result is an intelligence service you can act on — not simply a document.
Intelligence delivery method
Every conclusion earns its place.
- 01
DEFINE
Agree the question, lawful purpose and reporting boundaries.
- 02
COLLECT
Document sources, timestamps and what could not be checked.
- 03
CHALLENGE
Corroborate, test alternatives and distinguish fact from judgement.
- 04
DELIVER
Give decision-makers a reviewable assessment and clear next actions.
Methods and deliverables depend on the agreed brief. Human judgement and source limitations remain explicit.
Enhanced due diligence
Ownership, identity, adverse indicators and defensible source checks.
Investigations
Scope an intelligence question and trace the evidence that answers it.
Threat & protective intelligence
Put emerging risks, relationships and context into a decision-ready picture.
AI accountability
Examine what automated systems did, what they relied on and who approved it.

Core capabilities / One connected platform
A Unified Intelligence Platform for a More Secure World.
Blackout connects public global awareness, investigative work, accountable AI and evidence-aware analysis in one environment. Explore each capability below.
Explore all capabilitiesWatch the World
Explore geospatial intelligence, global reporting and source-labelled world signals.
Prime Mission Control
Bring collection, investigation and analytical workflows into one environment.
BlackFiles
Discover intelligence research and the context behind complex events.
AgentAudit
Trace automated decisions, review evidence and maintain human accountability.
Investigations
Turn complex research into structured and defensible investigative findings.
Specialist AI Workflows
Navigate specialist tools, source checks and controlled analytical workflows.
Images illustrate capability areas; they are not representations of live source data. Access, collection availability and freshness depend on permissions and the underlying provider.
Global reach / Evidence-first intelligence
Intelligence Without Borders.
One connected environment to observe, investigate, verify and communicate findings with their source context intact.
Explore global intelligenceInside Blackout OS / Product environments
A connected system. Four ways to see further.
Choose an operational environment to see how Blackout brings global awareness, investigations, governance and evidence into the same platform.
Geographic context and public-source layers
Illustrative visual / not a live event stream
SYSTEM 01 / 04
A clearer view of a changing world.
Observe geographic signals, compare independent public sources and move from global context to focused analysis.

- Geospatial exploration
The Blackout operational method
From first signal to defensible intelligence.
Connect the questions you are trying to answer with information you can assess. Keep attribution, uncertainty and analytical judgement visible through every stage.
Define
Set objectives, lawful scope and decision requirements.
Collect
Bring relevant source material into a structured workflow.
Analyse
Corroborate, identify gaps and challenge conclusions.
Deliver
Preserve provenance and communicate the assessment.
Your next mission
Start with a question. Find the signal.
Enter a subject or describe the task. The platform routes you to relevant available tools rather than presenting a simulated search result.
What do you need to find out?
Describe a task, or enter an organisation, domain, email or wallet.
Inside the intelligence environment
See the intelligence. Test the evidence.
Go beyond the presentation. Explore real available tools, inspect the source record and test Blackout using your own questions.
OSINT & Investigations
One workspace, and it tells you which tools actually work.
Classify what you are looking at, run the connectors that genuinely answer for it, keep the originals with their hashes, and build findings that carry their source, their grade and what they do not establish. Every tool in the catalogue states whether it runs here, needs a key, needs the worker, or is a resource for you to open yourself.
- 30
- you can run right now
- 3
- need an API key first
- 7
- need a separate program we have not deployed
- 46
- in this module’s catalogue
These 46 are this module’s own connector catalogue. They sit inside the platform’s 221 graded collectors rather than alongside them, so the two figures are not in competition — one counts every source the platform reads, the other counts the tools in this workspace. Both are counted from the code at build time and neither is typed in by hand.
Typed selectors are classified as you type, and the classification is yours to correct. A guess is scored as a guess — it will not turn a name into a username to have something to run.
- Company
- Company number
- Domain
- IP address
- URL
- Person
- Username
- Phone
- Bitcoin address
- Ethereum address
- CVE
- UK postcode
- A file
A file is hashed, identified from its own bytes rather than its name, and read for embedded metadata — with the absence of metadata recorded as a finding, because every messaging app strips it and a silent section reads as nothing to find.
Connected
Ran successfully against a real source. The date and what it ran against are recorded, and the type will not accept the status without them.
Needs a key / needs the worker
Built and waiting on something. Nothing has been collected through it here, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Research link
A resource to open yourself. This platform does not call it, holds no results from it, and gives it no run button at all.
Deferred
Assessed and consciously not built, with the reason on the record so the decision can be revisited.
A catalogue of two hundred tools where four work is worse than a catalogue of four, because you cannot tell which is which until you have spent a case finding out. We publish the split: 30 of 46.
Open the workspaceWatch the World / Public globe
The world never stops. Neither does the search for context.
Explore public-world reporting, geographic signals, earth observation and source-labelled events together. Data access varies by provider and region; a blank area is not proof of an absence of activity.
What you are seeing
An embedded public-source world view. Report volume and freshness belong to the originating feeds, not a universal sensor network.

Domains only in the public preview — no personal data, deliberately. Username, email, company and image lookups need a free account.
The grading
One number cannot tell you what you need to know.
Every tool in this category scores a finding with a single confidence figure. Intelligence organisations have not done that for sixty years, for a reason you can prove to yourself in about ten seconds. Move around the grid.

Confidence
This figure does not change for any cell in that grid. A1 and E5 arrive at your desk looking the same. Asked in a hearing how it was reached, the honest answer is that a weighting nobody publishes combined two things that should never have been combined.
Readers price “possible” anywhere between one in ten and two in three. Every probability this platform states comes from this ladder, so it means the same thing to the person who wrote it and the person who acts on it.

The grade
How good is this finding, and who says so?
The record
What was actually asked, and when?
If a product in this category does any of the above, tell us and the row comes down. A comparison we will not correct is advertising, and this one is meant to survive being checked.
The full comparisonWhat is on in the courts
Every UK court, and today’s list.
Search every court and tribunal in the UK by name, town, jurisdiction or what it hears, and open the official hearing list for the one you want.
Where this comes from, and what we do not hold
The directory is HM Courts & Tribunals Service data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The hearing lists are HMCTS’s own, published free and without sign-in, and the links above open them there.
We hold no court lists. They are replaced daily, the reporting restrictions that attach to a listing must travel with it, and the licences covering both the official service and the commercial distributors permit reading rather than republication. Sending you to the source is the only version of this that is both lawful and current.
