Good vetting is not about digging up secrets. It is about assembling what is already on the record — accurately, quickly, and with a citation attached to every fact — so that when you make a claim, it holds. ALKARTIS is built for exactly that: connecting fragmented public records into a sourced profile you can defend.
Let's be direct about what this is and is not. ALKARTIS is a public-records intelligence engine. It works with official, published records — and nothing else. There is no surveillance, no private or personal data, no scraping of anyone's private life, and no gray-area sourcing. The entire value proposition rests on the opposite of that: every fact in a profile traces to a checkable public record, which is what makes it usable in a hearing, a press statement, or a legal-adjacent memo.
If a fact cannot be sourced to a public record, it does not belong in the research — and it will not be in an ALKARTIS profile. That constraint is a feature. It is what separates defensible vetting from rumor.
The strongest research isn't the most explosive. It's the most sourced — because a fact you can prove is a fact your opponent can't take away.
Anyone can pull a single record. The hard part — the part that eats days of a staffer's week — is connecting them. A name in the payroll data, a property under an LLC, a permit on that property, a code violation on the same parcel, an eviction filing: individually, each is a data point. Connected, they become context. ALKARTIS does that entity resolution and connection work so you are reading a coherent profile instead of reconciling six open browser tabs by hand.
In Philadelphia today, the records ALKARTIS connects include:
City contracts and vendor payments are on the way through ContractSignal, an in-development product; that data source is not connected yet, so we don't count it in what you can pull today.
What makes this powerful is not any single record but the connections between them — a permit that lines up with a valuation, a violation that sits on a licensed rental, a title in the payroll that maps to a real person. Each connection is only as good as the public filing behind it, and ALKARTIS keeps that filing attached, so the profile reads as evidence rather than inference.
Property is where public records get deliberately opaque. Holdings are split across LLCs, ownership is layered, and a single person's real estate footprint can be scattered under a dozen names. ALKARTIS resolves entities across those filings so a portfolio can be traced back to a common owner — wherever the public record actually supports the link. LandlordEye is the live tool built around this workflow. Again: the connection is drawn from official filings, never from private data.
This is ALKARTIS's core idea applied to research: data becomes information, information becomes intelligence, and intelligence supports a decision you can act on. A vetting profile that comes out the other end is not a hunch — it is a structured, sourced picture where each element carries a pointer to the record it came from. When the other side pushes back, you are not defending an assertion; you are pointing to the city's own filing.
Campaigns and oversight offices run on compressed timelines. A claim surfaces in a debate or a news cycle and you have hours, not weeks, to confirm or rebut it. Because the records are already ingested, connected, and searchable, ALKARTIS collapses what used to be a multi-day records dig into a same-day answer — without cutting the corner that matters, which is sourcing.
Everything described here is live for Philadelphia today. ALKARTIS is expanding city by city, and additional jurisdictions will come online over time — but we describe only what is available now. For programmatic or bulk access, API access is part of the Enterprise tier; talk to our team.
No. ALKARTIS works only with public records — city payroll, property assessments, permits, code violations, rental licensing, eviction filings, and similar official sources. There is no surveillance, no private or personal data, and nothing obtained outside the public record. It is public-records-based vetting, connected and made searchable.
Because a claim you cannot source is a claim you cannot use. Every figure in ALKARTIS traces back to the specific public record it came from, so a profile is defensible — if someone challenges a fact, you can point straight to the underlying record instead of a summary.
Today, in Philadelphia, ALKARTIS connects public payroll, OPA property assessments, L&I permits and valuations, code violations, rental licensing, and eviction filings. City contracts and vendor payments are coming with ContractSignal but are not connected yet.
Property records are often filed under LLCs and layered ownership. ALKARTIS resolves entities across those records so a portfolio can be traced back to a common owner where the public record supports the connection — always from official filings, never from private data.
Not yet. ALKARTIS is live in Philadelphia today, and the connected records described here are Philadelphia public records. We are expanding city by city, so additional jurisdictions will come online over time.
