SleuthX

SleuthX
AI Agent · Open Alpha

The digital forensics agent that prevents, detects, responds to, and remediates any consumer cyber incident — account compromise, stalkerware, wire fraud, SIM swap, crypto scam, identity theft, romance scam.

How SleuthX Works

Input. Agent. Output.

SleuthX ingests data from your accounts and devices, analyzes it with an AI agent built on a working forensics methodology, and escalates to senior human examiners when the case demands it.

Input

Ingest data from accounts and devices

  • Account logs (email, cloud, banking, social)
  • Device artifacts and screenshots
  • Phone, computer, and forensic captures
Agent

Analyze with the AI agent

  • Classify what's a real compromise vs benign
  • Reconstruct the timeline of activity
  • Surface the root cause hypothesis
Output

Deliver a structured report

  • Compromise classification + severity
  • Clear next steps you can act on
  • Court-admissible report when needed

When a case needs human judgment, SleuthX escalates to the practitioner team — Quinn and Alex — who oversee every output before it leaves the system.

Deliverables

What you get

Every SleuthX engagement produces the same five deliverables. No mystery, no scope creep.

  • Compromise classification

    Real vs benign, with severity. Tells you whether something actually happened or whether the alarm was noise.

  • Timeline of activity

    What happened, in what order, on which device or account. Reconstructed from logs, artifacts, and forensic captures.

  • Root cause hypothesis

    How the compromise started — phishing, SIM swap, reused password, OAuth grant, malicious app, or insider access. Evidence-backed.

  • Clear next steps

    What to do this hour, this week, and this quarter. Specific to your situation, not a generic checklist.

  • Structured report (legal-ready optional)

    Written for non-technical decision-makers. Court-admissible chain of custody when you need it for litigation, insurance, or law enforcement.

Plain terms

What we are — and what we are not

What we are

A digital forensics practice with an AI agent at the center. Credentialed examiners, documented chain of custody, explainable findings you can verify, and court-admissible reports under FRE 901/902. When field work is needed — backgrounds, locates, physical surveillance — we coordinate with licensed private investigators. Lawful, confidential, on your side.

What we are not

Spyware, stalkerware, or a way to secretly monitor another person. We do not “hack back,” promise guaranteed money recovery, or touch any account or device without its owner's lawful authorization — and we decline engagements that ask us to.

The Stack

Forensic depth at the center. Protections wrapped around it.

Most consumer cyber suites bolt monitoring on top of more monitoring.

SleuthX inverts the stack — the AI forensic agent and the credentialed examiner signing off on findings are the work we own. Identity monitoring, dark-web monitoring, breach response, restoration concierge, and identity-theft coverage layer in underneath.

What we build · Live now
  • AI forensic agent

    Investigates accounts and devices end-to-end. Compromise classification, timeline reconstruction, attribution, and clear next steps. Plain-language intake; deep-investigator depth on demand. Every step is explainable — the agent shows its evidence, and findings are verified before they ship.

  • Court-admissible reporting

    Findings that hold up in court, police filings, and insurance claims. Signed off by a credentialed forensic examiner before they leave the practice.

  • Methodology engine

    The DFIR playbooks the industry charges enterprises five and six figures for, encoded and run automatically. Stalkerware, account compromise, wire fraud, SIM swap, romance scam, identity theft, more.

What we wrap in · Coming
  • Identity monitoring

    Continuous credit-bureau-grade monitoring across all three bureaus, SIM-swap alerts, and account-takeover detection. Same data the major monitoring services use, layered into the agent.

  • Dark-web monitoring

    Continuous scan of breach corpora, paste sites, and underground markets for your credentials, accounts, and exposed data.

  • Restoration concierge

    Full-service identity-theft remediation team for active incidents. Disputes, filings, recovery, and direct work with creditors and law enforcement on your behalf.

  • Identity-theft coverage

    Carrier-underwritten reimbursement coverage for losses, legal fees, and recovery costs — alongside the personal cyber insurance coordination we offer today. Coverage limits and terms set with the carrier at launch.

One investigator. One platform. The forensic layer is what we own; the monitoring infrastructure underneath is licensed from category-leading providers and integrated as the suite ships.

Threats We Trace

We see what they hide.

Stalkerware. Deleted texts. Insider exfiltration. Spoofed accounts. The forensic trail is always there. We surface it, document it, and make it admissible.

  • Stalkerware
  • Insider Threat
  • Account Takeover
  • Phone Forensics
  • Spoofing
  • Exfiltration
We also serve investigative journalists & newsrooms

Frequently asked about SleuthX

What does SleuthX do?
SleuthX is an AI agent that performs digital forensic triage on consumer cyber incidents. You give it the data — account logs, device artifacts, screenshots, communications — and the agent classifies what happened, reconstructs the timeline, surfaces the root cause, and ships you a structured, evidence-grade report you can act on. The agent is trained on real DFIR cases run through a working forensics methodology, and outputs are validated against the same court-admissible standard the practice uses on live cases.
How does SleuthX compare to antivirus or identity-protection apps?
Antivirus scans for known malware signatures. Identity-protection apps monitor public breach databases for exposure. Neither one investigates a specific incident on your devices or accounts, neither one explains what actually happened, and neither one produces a court-admissible report. SleuthX is forensic methodology, not signature matching. The comp set is enterprise IR firms and Cellebrite-licensed shops at $50K-$500K, not Aura or LifeLock at $10-50/mo. SleuthX brings that methodology into a tier consumers can actually pay for, because the agent absorbs the procedural analyst time.
What do I receive after running SleuthX?

A structured forensic report with five deliverables:

  1. compromise classification — whether something real happened or whether the alarm was noise, with severity;
  2. timeline of activity — what happened, in what order, on which device or account;
  3. root cause hypothesis — how the compromise started (phishing, SIM swap, OAuth grant, malicious app, insider access), evidence-backed;
  4. clear next steps — what to do this hour, this week, this quarter;
  5. a structured report written for non-technical decision-makers but defensible in litigation, insurance, and law-enforcement contexts when needed.
What kinds of incidents does SleuthX handle?
Account compromise (email, social, banking, cloud), stalkerware detection on iPhone and Android, wire fraud and SIM swap recovery, crypto investment scam attribution, identity theft investigation, romance scam documentation, deleted-text recovery for divorce, OSINT exposure mapping, and domestic-violence digital forensics under a safety plan. Each incident type has a dedicated page with the methodology detail.
Are the reports court-admissible?
Yes. The methodology aligns with FRE 901 and FRCP 26. Chain of custody is documented. Quinn is qualified to testify under Daubert and Frye standards on the work product. If a case has a legal dimension and you have an attorney, the engagement structures under privilege at the attorney's request.
Where does the AI agent stop and human practitioners take over?
The agent handles the procedural work — data ingest, classification, timeline reconstruction, report generation — that previously consumed senior-analyst hours. Quinn (Founder and CEO, 9 active GIAC certifications) and Alex Riffenburgh (Co-Founder and CTO) review outputs before they leave the system on cases where stakes are high. As the agent matures, that human review layer compresses. Today's cases also serve as training and validation data for the agent.
