What Submarine Is

Submarine is a graph-native investigation platform that unifies cases, entities, evidence, timelines, and narratives into a single, auditable intelligence fabric.

It is designed for complex, multi-source investigations where:

  • Evidence is fragmented across formats and sources
  • Entities span multiple cases
  • Relationships are non-obvious
  • Auditability and chain of custody are non-negotiable
  • Collaboration across teams, devices, and organizations is required

Who Submarine Is For

Analysts

Financial crime, fraud, insider threat, due diligence, counterintelligence

Investigators

Law enforcement, regulatory enforcement, internal investigations

Journalists

Investigative journalism, OSINT, document leaks, public interest research

Enterprises

Compliance, legal holds, litigation support, risk management

Government

National security, critical infrastructure protection, cross-agency collaboration

Why Submarine Exists

Investigations Fail When:

  • Evidence lives in silos
  • Analysts cannot see cross-case patterns
  • Audit trails are incomplete
  • Collaboration is fragmented
  • AI is opaque or uncontrollable

Submarine Solves This By Being:

  • Graph-native: Relationships are first-class citizens
  • Auditable: Every action is logged immutably
  • Collaborative: Real-time sync, presence, comments, shared cursors
  • Explainable: AI suggestions are ranked, reviewable, and human-supervised
  • Federated: Multi-org, multi-region, zero-trust
