1. Candor™ is a full service solution consisting of an advanced, cloud-based data analytics platform,
supported by experts in data analytics and intelligence, with customizable methodologies for
solving complex analytic challenges in the modern “Big Data” world.
OUR NEW REALITY
Today’s leaders must make real-time decisions amidst a constantly changing sea of information while their enterprises
are being bombarded with new information that can hold the key to monumental gains. The volume of data is simply
staggering. A recent study suggests that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created on a daily basis. Critical success factors
to overcoming this challenge are threefold: (1) identifying the right data sources among the millions of websites, blogs,
social media, and databases; (2) pinpointing which data among those sources is valuable or useful; and (3) sifting through
that data to inform decision-making, avoid unacceptable risk, and effectively exploit competitive advantage.
Further complicating this challenge is that data exists in a variety of formats, locations, and sources. Historical information
holds valuable knowledge but may include volumes of printed materials; conversely, more structured, modern databases
can present information in an untold number of formats. These disparate and constantly growing data sets make it
difficult – or, in some cases, nearly impossible – to quickly find the right information needed to make an informed
decision. Overcoming this challenge, however, simultaneously creates vast opportunities. To realize these opportunities,
organizations must rapidly adapt, effectively leverage their most important data, and synthesize information to support
intelligent decisions and accurate predictions.
THE CURRENT TREND - “BIG DATA”
A single web search of the term “Big Data” will show industry’s degree of investment and posturing in “analytics” for the
sake of profit. There are countless solutions available designed by self-proclaimed “leaders in the market.” Many of these
platforms are adaptations that began their development cycles several years
ago. As such, these are legacy solutions which have peaked in their ability to WHY CANDOR™?

Candor™ is a web-enabled data analytics solution based on natural language Open Architecture foundation
processing – a field of artificial intelligence that allows technology to derive Data type independent and open
meaning from human language. Candor™ is designed to sift through targeted source access
data sets and efficiently and intelligently analyze the data for meaning. As
a result, Candor™ instantly draws linkages between seemingly unrelated
pieces of data that previously would have taken an analyst weeks or months to connect. Hidden relationships are easily

or an individual. This information is presented to users via a suite of customizable, high-performance visualization tools
that include a document browser, sentiment analysis graph, relationship map, timeline of relevant events, and multiple
other user-friendly outputs. The graphic below summarizes the data sources that may be used and presents several of the
visualization tools available in the Candor™ platform.
A High-Level View of the Candor™ Platform
Candor™ conducts advanced data analytics with an infinitely expandable number of customizable
data sources to present information via multiple visualization tools.
Candor™ has the ability to continuously harvest and mine thousands of data sources to track, in real time, items ranging
from transactions, documents, or transactional or other financial records, to suspicious activity, individual behavior, or
the movement of people or goods – without being detected. The Candor™ platform is highly customizable such that
data sets can be added based on customer needs and additional visualization outputs created depending on analytical
requirements. In addition, individual, customizable algorithms (such as those for fraud detection, risk analysis, or even
voter likelihood) can be easily introduced into the analytical platform, enabling the processing of an infinitely expandable
amount of data combined with the simultaneous analysis of that data. This
approach transforms information into intelligence and provides analysts with APPLICATIONS
confidence in critical decision-making.
