Detection got smarter. Investigation didn’t.
This requires investigation intelligence.
What we do
Tangos is an autonomous investigation model built to investigate complex financial-crime and integrity risks across the sports ecosystem. It forms hypotheses, gathers evidence across jurisdictions and languages, maps relationships between people, entities and transactions, tests conclusions against counter-evidence, and produces fully sourced, review-ready case files.
Governed AI. Bounded, auditable, accountable.
Bounded, auditable, accountable.
Human-in-the-loop at every decision point.
The problem we solve
The money moved faster than the controls.
Professional sport now sits at the intersection of global investment, cross-border payments, complex ownership structures, agents, intermediaries, sponsorship, betting and digital assets.
The financial ecosystem has evolved.
The investigative infrastructure around it has not.
Evidence sits across registries, payment data, adverse media and internal systems, in multiple languages.
Investigators are left to reconstruct the picture manually.
What this looks like in practice:
Clubs, investors, holding companies, related parties and beneficial owners can span multiple jurisdictions and corporate structures.
Player transfers can involve clubs, agents, intermediaries, representatives and payment flows across multiple countries.
Corruption, fraud, sanctions, money laundering, match manipulation and organised-crime exposure rarely sit in neat operational silos.
Information sits across public records, databases, payment information, adverse media, internal systems and multiple languages. Investigators are left to reconstruct the picture manually.
Tangos: Investigations resolved end to end.
Backward Reasoning from Hypothesis.
Tangos reasons from the investigative question, not simply a name or an alert. Who ultimately controls this club? Why is this intermediary receiving this payment? Are these parties connected? Every conclusion is tested against available counter-evidence before it is confirmed.
Network-Aware Investigation.
Relationships mapped across players, clubs, owners, agents, companies, payments and jurisdictions — and the risk that runs through them.
Multilingual & Cross-Jurisdictional
Corporate records, ownership information, adverse intelligence and public-source evidence, investigated across jurisdictions and languages.
Source-Agnostic.
OSINT, premium databases, internal systems, transaction data, corporate registries and specialist intelligence sources. No rip-and-replace.
