04.1 / THE PAIN

What this looks like today.

A shadow-fleet investigation takes 4 weeks today. With insigz, the same investigation is 4 hours of work and a defensible evidence chain.

A journalist tracking Russian oil sanctions evasion has to identify candidate vessels, trace ownership through opaque structures, verify port calls and cargo, cross-reference with public reporting, and build a citation chain their editor will accept.

Today, the work runs on the MarineTraffic free tier, OpenSanctions, archive.org, and dozens of hours of manual reading. Many investigations get killed because the time-to-finding is too long.

insigz makes investigations 10× faster without compromising the evidence chain. Per-tenant deploy keeps the work confidential; every claim in the output cites source observations.

04.2 / WHY INSIGZ FITS

Three points of fit.

What the platform brings to this vertical specifically. Not generic features — the things that map to the actual workflow.

/01

Same data layer

Maritime + sanctions + ownership + news. The exact stack a shadow-fleet investigation needs.

/02

Confidential by design

Per-tenant deploy. Investigations do not sit in a shared SaaS pool a hostile party could subpoena.

/03

Mission-rate pricing

Working journalists and NGOs get a substantially reduced rate in exchange for citation rights when the story publishes.

04.3 / SAMPLE WORKFLOW

Four steps, one query.

A concrete walk-through. This is what the platform does inside the operator's head, made visible.

/01

Seed the case

"Vessels turning off AIS near Lakonikos Bay since January."

/02

Expand outward

Each candidate vessel ownership traced through consolidated watchlists.

/03

Cross-reference

Port calls, news mentions, sanctions exposure layered in.

/04

Defensible chain

Every claim in the published story is one click from its source.

04.4 / PRICING

04.5 / EXAMPLE

A real-shaped example.

A shadow-fleet investigation takes 4 weeks today. With insigz, the same investigation is 4 hours of work and a defensible evidence chain.

An investigative reporter at a European newsroom traced a sanctions-evading vessel through three flag changes, four shell companies, and two cargo transfers. Total time: 6 hours. Total cost: a sub-CHF-30k annual license. Story landed on the FT front page.

The newsroom paid for itself the same week.
