Golden Owl® Platform Guide

Detect → Process → Track

Golden Owl® is a full-cycle intelligence platform built for analysts, investigators, and strategic leaders who need fast, reliable answers. The workflow is simple:

  1. Detect – harvest targeted data.
  2. Process – fuse, enrich, and visualize that data with the AI Engine.
  3. Track – keep eyes on what matters via Trace Agents.

Below is your updated, end-to-end guide.

1. Detect – Launch Intelligence Collectors & Tools

Collectors pull subject-specific data and immediately enrich it with preliminary context so you can start spotting signals.

Collector FamilyWhat It Gives You
Business IntelligenceCompany ownership, corporate structure, filings, balance-sheet snapshots
Competitive IntelligenceCompetitor discovery, benchmark metrics, market share indicators
Supply Chain IntelligenceSupplier hierarchies, logistics routes, dependency risks
Web IntelligenceDomain metadata, traffic patterns, tech stacks, SEO posture
Media IntelligenceGlobal news coverage, sentiment, narrative trends
Brand IntelligenceBrand mentions across forums and review sites
Social PlatformsX (Twitter), Telegram, Instagram, LinkedIn streams & sentiment
Reputation IntelligenceLeaked-data exposure, negative-press spikes
Compliance Express / Compliance DeepSanctions, PEPs, AML checks (Express) · granular legal & regulatory dossiers (Deep)
EU & Global TendersLive procurement opportunities and bidder intel
Geopolitical IntelligenceCountry risk, unrest indicators, policy shifts
Background Check IntelligenceCV validation, litigation history, adverse media

Additional detection assets:

  • Cyber Toolbox – 20+ digital-forensics & OSINT utilities (hash look-ups, metadata stripping, sub-domain discovery, etc.) with AI-assisted pattern recognition.
  • Yara Operator – a multi-agent, chat-based assistant that scours the open web for business prospects or hard-to-find OSINT artefacts.

Quick scenario: Screening a new logistics vendor

• Spin up Supply Chain, Business, and Reputation Collectors.
• Use Cyber Toolbox for darknet credential leaks.
• Yara Operator can surface subsidiary shell companies within the same chat.

2. Process – Fuse Data in the AI Engine

The AI Engine is your smart workspace—no manual project setup required. Drop in any combination of Collectors and choose the service that fits your question:

AI Engine ServicePurposeKey Outputs
CompareCross-reference data points across CollectorsDelta tables, anomaly flags, "what-changed" timelines
AnalysisDeep-dive into a single or blended data setInsight reports, trend graphs, auto-generated narratives, KPI dashboards
MappingDiscover hidden ties and structuresInteractive network graphs, cluster detection, relationship scores

Core capabilities available to every service:

  • Data Fusion & Context Enrichment – unifies formats, auto-tags entities, fills knowledge gaps.
  • Relationship Mapping – graph-based AI surfaces non-obvious links (shared directors, IP blocks, co-mentioned entities).
  • Visualization Suite – heat-maps, time-series, chord diagrams, and more.
  • Custom Reports & Chat with Data – ask questions in plain language and export the answers.

Quick scenario: M&A target evaluation

  1. Run Business, Competitive, Brand, and Geopolitical Collectors.
  2. Choose Analysis for a holistic health check (finance vs. sentiment vs. country risk).
  3. Switch to Mapping to expose overlapping board members or investors.

3. Track – Deploy Trace Agents

When an investigation ends but the risk lives on, activate Trace Agents to keep surveillance running in the background.

Trace Agents let you:

  • Add Targets – companies, domains, people, keywords.
  • Select Triggers – new lawsuits, stock swings, negative-media tone shifts, credential dumps, tender wins, etc.
  • Receive Real-Time Alerts – in-platform, email, or webhook.
  • Review Agent Logs – see every matched event with full provenance.

Quick scenario: Post-deal monitoring

• Add the acquired company to a Trace Agent.
• Enable alerts for financial distress, compliance violations, or major brand-sentiment drops.
• Stay informed without repetitive manual checks.

4. Understand Credit Consumption

  • Every Collector call spends a fixed amount of credits.
  • AI Engine processing and Trace Agent alerts also consume credits, clearly shown before you confirm.
  • Buy only what you need—unused credits never auto-burn.
