Follow the Data. Expose the Fraud.

Sentinel Analytics is a private-sector fraud detection firm. We use data mining, AI, and investigative journalism to identify fraud against American taxpayers — and hold bad actors accountable.

Mission

The private sector can find what the government misses.

Federal whistleblower laws give private citizens the legal standing to act where government oversight cannot or will not. When fraud against the government is identified, qualified individuals may file on behalf of the United States and collect a share of whatever is recovered.

Sentinel Analytics was built on this mechanism. We are not a law firm, a think tank, or a lobbying operation. We are investigators. Our work is to find the fraud, document it, and ensure it reaches the courtroom.

Every case we pursue is data-led and AI-assisted. Every report we publish is evidence-backed. When the government recovers money, taxpayers win. That is the only outcome we work toward.
