What each plan opens, what one collection looks like at each plan’s price, and how every source and finding is graded and can be checked.
The platform today
What the platform is
Blackout Intelligence OS is the environment the firm's analysts work in, and the one clients use to run their own investigations. It comes after the intelligence services: the services are the work, and the platform is where that work is recorded, graded and checked.
How a finding is made
A conclusion is only as good as the record behind it. Each stage below leaves something a reviewer can open.
Graded collectors read approved sources. Each record keeps its source and the time it was collected.
Event, publication and collection time are kept apart. Corrections and retractions are preserved, not overwritten.
Sources and findings are graded on the NATO Admiralty System, so confidence travels with the intelligence.
Competing accounts are set side by side. Unresolved gaps are listed, not filled in.
An analyst accepts, rejects or returns each conclusion. The decision stays on the record.
Reports are generated from the record, and export as STIX 2.1 or CSV for the systems a team already uses.
The grading scale and the review steps are set out in full on the evidence page.

What the money buys
One search on one subject, 12 findings. Change the plan and watch the document change. Nothing below is a mock-up of the paywall: the masking is performed by the same function that runs on the server for paying customers.

Beyond this, a finding keeps its title, severity and grade — the values are masked.

A critical finding is never withheld
Switch to Explorer and the mail-capable host stays fully readable. Masking a sanctions hit or an exploited service from someone about to transact would be harmful, and the upgrade is sold on breadth rather than on hiding danger.
Nor is the collection record
Which collectors answered, and which did not, is readable on every plan. It is the cheapest possible proof the search was real, and hiding it would undo the argument the rest of the product rests on.
7 data points withheld on this scan
Professional returns the full depth on every lookup — all findings, all fields, and 24 hosts per estate scan.
A second worked example, on a separate .example subject — RFC 2606 reserves the domain, so nobody can register it. The redaction is real; the subject is not.
How the platform grades what it knows
Each row names one thing the platform does and where to check it today. Figures are counted from the code or measured on a stated date, and each row links to the place it can be seen.
How good is this finding, and who says so?
The source and the information are graded separately — a letter A–F for how reliable the source is, a digit 1–6 for how credible this particular item is.
Why it mattersA completely reliable source can report something improbable, and an unreliable one can report something confirmed elsewhere. Keeping the two grades apart is what shows a reader which of those they are looking at.
Probability is expressed in fixed language mapped to numeric bands, so "likely" means the same thing to the analyst who wrote it and the person acting on it.
Why it mattersAn enforcement decision taken on a word the two parties priced differently is a decision nobody can defend afterwards.
Grade A is reserved for the body that issues the fact — a sanctions authority for its own designations, a registry for its own registrations. Nothing earns it by being popular.
Why it mattersA copied fact is useful, but it is only as strong as the record it came from, and a report that does not name the issuing record cannot be audited.
The grading register is published with a written rationale per source, so a reviewer can argue with the grade rather than take it on trust.
Why it mattersA grade a reviewer can read the reasons for is one they can defend when the other side’s expert asks how it was reached.
What was actually asked, and when?
Every source is recorded in one of five states: it answered, it answered and held nothing, it refused us, it did not respond, or it was not applicable.
Why it mattersA refusal recorded as an empty result reads as a clean negative. A 403 from a social network is a refusal, and says nothing about whether an account exists.
Each source carries the moment it answered, not the moment the report was generated.
Why it matters"Companies House was unreachable at 14:03:11Z" can be checked against that provider’s own status page afterwards. "Unreachable" cannot.
Event time, publication time and collection time are held apart, and an unknown event time stays unknown rather than being filled in from the publication time.
Why it mattersCopying "reported this morning" into "happened this morning" is invisible, because every field ends up populated and nothing looks wrong.
History is append-only. A correction keeps the earlier claim readable, and a retraction is a state carrying the withdrawn claim rather than a deletion.
Why it mattersA reader needs to know a thing was once asserted, especially when somebody acted on it before it was withdrawn.
Every row links to the place it can be checked. If a row is wrong, tell us and it will be corrected.

01
Server-verified subscriptions, an AES-256 encrypted key vault and row-level data isolation. Access is never gated by client JavaScript.
02
We do not sell, share or resell what you look up. Provider keys are yours, held encrypted, and billed to you — never pooled across customers.
03
Every finding carries its source grade, its credibility rating and the record of which collectors answered. Export it and the reasoning travels with it.

Type a domain. This is the live collector behind the paid plans, querying sources now rather than replaying a recording.
Domains only in the public preview. No personal data is searched here, deliberately.
A module list states what the platform can do. The evidence page shows whether each result can be defended: the report itself, how findings are graded, and what happens when a source refuses to answer.
