01 / OPERATION
Define
Set objectives, lawful scope and decision requirements.
02 / OPERATION
Collect
Bring relevant source material into a structured workflow.
03 / OPERATION
Analyse
Corroborate, identify gaps and challenge conclusions.
04 / OPERATION
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.
Blackout OS
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.
Why Blackout / See the workflow
Not another dashboard.
A route to a defensible decision.
Choose the decision you need to make. See what a properly scoped intelligence workflow requires, what Blackout connects, and the output that actually matters.
Mission outcome / investigate
Establish what is known, what is contradicted and what needs further verification.
01 — Start with
- Defined subject and lawful purpose
- Existing identifiers and scope
- Known evidence and open questions
02 — Investigate and verify
- 01Plan permitted source coverage
- 02Corroborate entities and claims
- 03Link findings to case records
- 04Preserve source and analytical provenance
03 — What you receive
A reviewable investigation file with attributed findings, uncertainty and evidence references.
Workflow examples describe the intended intelligence process; they are not fabricated client cases, guaranteed collection results or claims that every source is available. Actual modules and permissions depend on access, licensing and scope.
Find the right intelligence solution
Start with the decision. Not a tool catalogue.
Choose what you're trying to achieve. See the relevant capability and what a useful result should contain.
Investigations / Selected pathway
Turn a lead into an evidence-backed investigation.
For lawyers, investigators and teams establishing what is known, disputed and still unverified.
What a useful output includes
- Defined investigative scope and authority
- Source-linked findings and confidence levels
- Evidence preservation and intelligence gaps
Start with the decision · Not a product list
Turn your problem into a clear intelligence brief.
Choose the outcome you need. Blackout can help establish the scope before any investigation or collection begins. This tool prepares a request—it does not conduct searches or store your selections.
Human-scoped work No automatic collection No account required
Your recommended starting point
Scoped due diligence and source-backed findings
We’ll establish authority, scope, evidence needs and the right deliverable before starting. This is guidance, not a quotation or guarantee of availability.
Why Blackout / An intelligence workflow
Intelligence should be inspectable.
The value is not simply collecting more data. It is knowing what the information means, what it does not establish, and how to make a defensible decision from it.
Source and confidence context
Record where findings came from, what supports them and what remains uncertain.
Human-governed operations
Collection, analysis and sensitive decisions remain subject to permission and review.
From signal to evidence
Connect collection outcomes to cases, audit trails and reviewable reporting.
Evaluate the method, not unsupported claims.
Explore the public evidence methodology and try available tools before considering a paid workspace. Data coverage and integrations are disclosed by source and entitlement.
Choose your mission / One intelligence partner

The Blackout standard
Don’t buy another dashboard. Get closer to a decision.
Intelligence matters when someone can inspect how a finding was reached. Blackout connects specialist investigative services with a governed operating environment, so the path from question to evidence stays visible.
Explore the evidence standard- 01 / 04
Set the intelligence question
Define the decision, legal authority, permitted sources and what a useful answer looks like.
- 02 / 04
Collect and verify
Distinguish source output from corroborated facts. Record dates, limitations and provenance.
- 03 / 04
Review the evidence
Apply analyst judgement, explain confidence and identify contradictions and gaps.
- 04 / 04
Deliver a defensible answer
Receive a clear finding and next actions, with supporting records where applicable.

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.
- 182
- collectors you can run right now
- 3
- need an API key first
- 7
- need a separate program we have not deployed
- 230
- in this module’s catalogue
These 230 entries are this module’s connector catalogue. The 182 that run here are counted among the platform’s 319 graded collectors. The rest do not run here: they need a key or a worker, are deferred with a recorded reason, or are research links you open yourself. Both figures are derived from the code at build time, not typed in.
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: 182 collectors run here, out of 230 catalogued entries.
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.

The Blackout method / Four accountable stages
Show the source. Explain the conclusion.
Intelligence is only valuable when the decision-maker can examine how it was reached. Our workflows are designed around that principle.
- 01
Define the question
Record the objective, scope and authority before collection starts.
- 02
Collect with provenance
Use approved sources and retain timestamps, references and collection context.
- 03
Corroborate and challenge
Separate observed evidence, competing explanations and unresolved gaps.
- 04
Deliver and defend
Produce a reviewable result with traceable findings and clear limitations.
Evidence before marketing claims.
Inspect the approach, grading and verification tools without relying on invented testimonials or unsupported accuracy figures.
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.

Buying intelligence / Frequently asked
Clarity before commitment.
Know what you are buying, what can be demonstrated and what needs analyst review.
Do I need to sign in to explore Blackout Intelligence?
No. You can browse the public website, available demonstrations, service information and evidence methodology. Private OS applications require an account and may require a paid subscription.
Is every intelligence source available in real time?
No. Source coverage varies by provider, licensing, geography and availability. The platform distinguishes measured activity from unavailable or degraded sources.
Does the platform replace a qualified intelligence analyst?
No. Automation helps organise collection and evidence, but scope decisions, confidence assessments, sensitive conclusions and final intelligence products require appropriate human review.
Can I commission an investigation without purchasing OS access?
Yes. Specialist investigations, due diligence, surveillance and protective intelligence can be commissioned separately from the software subscription.
How can I evaluate the platform before buying?
Review the public intelligence environment and evidence standards, examine published plan access, and contact the organisation for a scoped demonstration or briefing.
