Argus — Methodology & Capabilities
A comprehensive public funding intelligence platform that surfaces review-worthy patterns in government contracts, grants, and charity flows. Built for analysts, auditors, and public-interest reviewers.
What is Argus?
Argus is a public funding intelligence platform that helps analysts find high-signal leads in messy government funding data. It ingests contracts, grants, charity filings, and lobbying records, then applies automated analysis to surface patterns that may warrant human review.
The platform does not accuse anyone of fraud. It produces ranked review leads, clear explanations, and source-backed evidence trails. Every signal comes with caveats and context to help reviewers make informed decisions.
