Vet anyone.
In ninety seconds.
The same primary-record checks Kroll and K2 deliver in two weeks — done by an AI analyst in real time, for the price of a software subscription. Built for solo operators, small teams, family offices, and the funders who back SMEs and nonprofits.
No card. No signup. About 90 seconds per Quick Vet.
Not a chatbot.
An analyst with a method.
The moat isn’t the data sources — those are public records anyone can pay for. It’s the discipline the agent applies to them. Four habits that separate Sentinel from a search wrapper.
Depth scales to stakes.
Not the other way around.
A bouncer doesn’t need a 60-page institutional report. A $50M acquisition isn’t safe with a one-pager. Sentinel listens for the decision behind the request and calibrates accordingly.

Public records first.
Bring premium when it matters.
Most expensive DD platforms are aggregators around the same public records the agent reads directly. Where institutional depth is genuinely needed, connect your own subscriptions — Sentinel orchestrates without ever touching your seats.

Premium DD firms have a $25,000 floor and a two-week clock. Most decisions don’t need that, but most of them deserve more than a Google search and a gut feel. Sentinel is the middle.
Freelancers, consultants, and one-person shops. Five-minute checks on prospective clients, contractors, and counterparties — before invoicing exposure or NDA leakage.
Startups and small firms vetting their first hires, vendors, and partners. The same checks the big firms run, without the retainer or the two-week wait.
Emerging fund managers, family offices, and capital providers backing SMEs. Pre-LOI screens, LP onboarding, portfolio monitoring — at unit economics that work for a $2M check.
Major-donor vetting, board-candidate workups, grant-recipient verification, partnership DD before MOUs. Reputation matters; mistakes are expensive.
The objections we
hear most.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT will hallucinate sources and tell you what you want to hear. Sentinel labels every claim VERIFIED, REPORTED, INFERRED, or UNCONFIRMED, cites the actual record, and runs disambiguation on common-name false positives. The discipline is the product.
Is Sentinel FCRA-compliant?+
Sentinel is not a Consumer Reporting Agency and reports are not for hiring, firing, credit, insurance, or housing decisions unless you are operating as a registered CRA in your jurisdiction. The agent is built to refuse those use cases at intake. Use Sentinel for commercial DD, vendor vetting, donor screening, KYC enhancement, and investigative research.
What about GDPR for European subjects?+
Sentinel processes only public-record data with a legitimate-interest lawful basis under Article 6(1)(f). Subject access and erasure requests are honored within 30 days. Data is retained for the regulatory window and then archived.
Where do my queries and reports live?+
On your account, not in a shared training corpus. Reports are encrypted at rest in our database. Anthropic, our LLM provider, does not train on API traffic by default. We can offer enterprise customers further isolation under contract.
Can I use my own PitchBook / FactSet / Moody's seat?+
Yes — on Institutional and Enterprise tiers. Connect your existing subscription via OAuth and Sentinel orchestrates the agent against your data without ever touching your seat or storing your data.
How accurate is it really?+
On the validation set we run internally, sanctions screening matches the primary registries 100% with zero false positives after disambiguation. Litigation coverage is strongest in US federal and UK; weaker in jurisdictions with restricted court access. The agent always flags coverage gaps explicitly — that's part of the report.
Tell Sentinel who.
The agent does the rest.
