Public investigations, reconstructed from the record

Think like an investigator.

Drug approvals. Plane crashes. Autonomous systems. Rebuilt from the primary record, so you can see how the story actually happened.

Modern life runs on their decisions.

The Ephemeris

Every decision leaves a record.

This one is 392 pages: the FDA's medical review of Aduhelm, the Alzheimer's drug approved in 2021 over its advisory committee's objection.

Read once

EphemerisX reads it once.

Every drug, trial, dose, endpoint and adverse event becomes a node, tied to the document and page it came from.

Counted as they are drawn. Every dot on screen is a real entity from the Aduhelm graph.

The queue

Then the next. And the next.

Leqembi, Kisunla, the advisory committee record and 22 more Alzheimer's drugs are lined up. 5,015 pages wait in the queue, read at a measured 16.47 pages a second.

  • Solid: in the graph
  • Translucent: queued, projected
  • Grey: listed only

Then the next record

When the FDA says no, companies still have to tell investors.

283 companies after a Complete Response Letter: 456 letters and 707 SEC filings, read into the same graph. The same method, a second institution.

Close to home

The medicine prescribed to you. The plane you boarded. The systems making decisions around you. Behind each is a public record of how it came to be.

The cases

Now, open one story.

The map shows the whole record. A reconstruction tells one story from it, event by event, every claim traced to its source.

The method

It starts with the actual record.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Primary documents only: reviews, letters, dockets, filings. Each keeps its citation, retrieval date and content hash.

  2. 02

    Read once

    Every document is read once into a knowledge graph of entities and the relations between them.

  3. 03

    Trace

    Every claim points back to the document and page it rests on. Nothing summarized away.
