The definitive record, built to order.
Monitoring watches this week. An archive keeps the decades. We build complete, AI-enriched archives of a subject's entire media record — for leaders, institutions and nations — searchable in seconds, and deployable inside your own perimeter.
Three records. One discipline.
Heritage agencies archive artefacts. Monitoring platforms search back a year or two. Nobody builds the media record itself — so we do, on a foundation of 20 years of news and social history, and a pipeline that reads every media type.
The Leader's Record
A lifetime of coverage about one person — every front page, every broadcast appearance, every photograph and post, across decades and languages. Assembled once, kept current forever.
For heads of state, royal courts and public figures
The Institutional Record
Decades of an organisation's media history — the coverage behind every milestone, dispute and turnaround. Institutional memory that survives every reorganisation, ready for anniversaries, briefings and the record itself.
For ministries, enterprises and national institutions
The National Record
A country's presence in the world's media over decades — how the story has been told, by whom, and how it changed. The documentary heritage of a nation, searchable.
For national archives, cultural authorities and sovereign offices
Everything that was ever published. Everywhere it appeared.
Print, digitised
Decades of newspapers and magazines scanned and read — Arabic and English alike — down to the page it appeared on.
Broadcast, recovered
Archive tape and historical footage transcribed into searchable text, joined by every new broadcast as it airs.
The vanished web
Articles taken down, posts deleted, sites that no longer exist — recovered where they can be, preserved before they can't.
Social, preserved
Posts, replies and reactions across 30+ platforms — kept even after the platform forgets them.
Images & video
Photographs and footage indexed by what's in the frame — not just what was written next to it.
Private collections
Their own tapes, albums and clipping files ingested through the same pipeline — one archive, public and private together.
A name and a date return everything. In seconds.
A shelf of tapes is storage. This is an archive: every item read, transcribed and enriched by the same fine-tuned models that process our live coverage — ~70 attributes deep.
The subject found in photographs and footage across decades — including where no caption ever named them.
People, institutions and places connected across every item, so one thread can be pulled through fifty years.
Transcripts, OCR and translation make a spoken sentence from 2003 as findable as this morning's headline.
Events, connections and turning points laid out in order — the journey, reconstructed from the record.
An archive your AI can read.
The record isn't just searchable by people. Delivered through our API and MCP server, it becomes grounding data for your own AI — your assistants and agents answering from fifty years of verified coverage instead of guessing.
Yours. Entirely.
A record like this is an asset of state or of legacy — it doesn't belong on someone else's cloud. The full archive, models included, can run on your premises, in your Azure tenancy or in a private sovereign cloud. It never leaves your perimeter, and neither do the questions you ask of it.
And like everything we build at this level: made once, for one client, to their rules. Never listed. Never named.
The internet forgets. The record shouldn't.
Links rot. Outlets close and their sites go dark. Platforms delete, tapes decay, and every year another slice of the story becomes unrecoverable. An archive is built from what can still be found — which is why the right time to build one is while it still can be.
Own the record. Every year of it.
Every build starts with a private conversation about the subject, the decades and the rules it must live under.
