Introducing Network Graph Report: Identifying Hidden Risks Through Automated Relationship Mapping

Two years ago, we entered the market with one of the first automated search tools leveraging large language models in the due diligence process, DiligenAI. Since then, we have continued to push the innovation envelope with frequent and meaningful product updates based directly on our users' feedback.

We are excited to now announce our newest feature release, the Network Report.

The DiligenAI solution has become exceedingly good at identifying risks and red flags when they are on the focus of the search, but a blind spot remained: related parties. This included scenarios where a primary entity might seem clear, but deeper layers reveal adverse media, sanctions, or high-risk associations tied to beneficial owners or affiliates.

This indirect risk is precisely what we're addressing with Network Report.

Why the Network Report?

We designed the Network Report with direct input from compliance and due diligence clients. Identifying beneficial owners and related parties accurately is crucial for effective compliance, yet it's an ongoing challenge in the industry. Despite the existence of various beneficial ownership data solutions, significant gaps remain. Ezekiel Ward, Founder of North Star Compliance Ltd., summed up the challenge perfectly:

"Identifying ownership information has long been a frustrating challenge in compliance. Traditional risk databases are often incomplete, and many tools miss deeper affiliations. Applying automated research and large language models to this problem creates a scalable way to uncover meaningful relationships. This kind of technology can help close long-standing gaps in the due diligence process."

How It Works: Bringing Data Together

The Network Report combines open-source intelligence, and web and news media to create a live map of ownership and affiliations. Using a large language model (LLM), it scans and analyzes this information to identify what’s relevant, then builds a relationship graph connecting people and entities.

From there, service automatically researches each connected party, checking for red flags or additional risks, such as sanctions, adverse media, or other concerning factors. All findings are compiled into a clear, source-linked report, giving teams both the big picture and the specific details they need for confident decision-making.

Here’s what happens under the hood:

• Related Party Discovery: Identifies beneficial owners, key executives, and affiliated organizations.
• Recursive Risk Analysis: Performs research on each connected party, not just the primary subject.
• Ownership Mapping: Visualizes entity relationships to expose influence, control, and affiliation.
• Open-Source Intelligence: Draws from global news, web content, and public data to surface connections registry systems often miss.
• Real-Time Insight: Captures fast-moving developments such as acquisitions and leadership changes before they appear in corporate filings.
• Source-Linked Reporting: Each connection and finding is backed by verifiable sources for auditability.

Real-World Effectiveness

The Network Report bridges the gap between automated tools and in-depth human-led investigations. Our recent data shows that Network Report achieves red flag detection rates approaching parity with desktop-based open-source research, significantly outperforming traditional risk database and screening tools.

Empowering Compliance and Due Diligence Professionals

Our goal isn't to replace due diligence professionals. In fact, due diligence companies are among our largest and most valued user groups. The Network Report is specifically designed as a powerful tool to augment and enhance the capabilities of due diligence experts, empowering them to quickly identify hidden risks and conduct deeper, more comprehensive investigations. By providing rapid, accurate mapping and contextual information, we enable professionals to focus their expertise precisely where it is most impactful.
