How We Know It Works
Backtested Against Real Enforcement Cases
We’ve tested our AI against hundreds of actual enforcement actions from state ethics commissions, including California’s FPPC, to ensure our results align with how agencies interpret and apply the law.
Upon request, we’ll share example analyses from real cases (see right), so you can see how our tool identifies potential violations — just like an investigator would.
