Investigative search, worked by an agent
An agent works your file across every source you hold, settles who the subject actually is, then pulls everything the record carries on that person in one run.
Why Lodestone
Most people-search tooling gives you more records. Lodestone tells you which ones hold up. Every result carries where it came from and every ranking carries its reasons, so you can see what is behind a hit before you drive to it. A record is a lead, not a fact.
Ingest
Credit header, county assessors, federal courts, liens, exclusions, filings and your own matters come back into one file. Each record keeps the source that served it, the minute it arrived and what it cost.
Read
The agent reads every record an investigator would, and sorts them: what two independent sources agree on, what one recent record supports, and what was set aside and why. Nothing is summarised away.
Resolve
Eleven people share the name and the file runs them together. The agent asks the question that splits the field most evenly, then drops whoever the answer contradicts. Three answers usually settle it, and asking is free.
Trace
Addresses are ranked by how much of the evidence points at each: how recently it was reported, how many records carry it, whether the county names him as owner, whether a relative sits at the same door. The share is how much of the record points at each door, and you can read every piece of it.
Handoff
When two people are still in play and nothing free separates them, the agent stops and names the single fact that would settle it. It does not pick, and it does not spend your money on a coin flip.
Timeline
Once the identity is settled, one run pulls everything the record carries on that person: addresses, phones, relatives, deeds and parcels, UCC filings, liens and judgments, courts, business registrations and exclusions. They land in one chronology, and the sequence is often the finding.
Scroll. The field narrows.
Eleven people carry the name. The record does not separate them.
Two are left, four points apart.
The agent stops. Now it needs you.

This is the console. Scroll through the file as the agent worked it, and answer the question it stopped for.
A name, a city he may have left, and a phone number from four years ago. Everything you hold goes in as the file, and the agent reads what the sources already carry before it spends anything.
The agent asks the question that splits the field most evenly, then drops whoever the answer contradicts. Everyone it rules out keeps the reason it ruled them out.
The survivors are ranked by how much of the evidence points at each: how recently a record was reported, how many records carry it, whether the county names him as owner, whether a relative sits at the same door. A share is how much of the record points at that door. Whether he answers it is still your job.
The last two sit four points apart, and the free record has nothing left that tells them apart. So it stops, names the fact that would settle it, and waits. Getting this far cost nothing.
One answer drops the other candidate and the identity is pinned to the file. From there the comprehensive report runs against the person you pinned, and every record it returns carries the source that served it and the minute it arrived.
What it is built on
Evidence first
Each finding is a chain: the records, the steps, the agent and the person who signed. If the provenance isn't there, it isn't a finding.
The machine shows its work
Operators see what an agent intends before it acts. Queries, tool calls and intermediate conclusions are logged as they happen.
One signal
When the agent cannot tell two people apart on what it holds, it stops, and the stop is the loudest thing on the screen. One red item at a time, so red keeps meaning something.
Deployment
Lodestone runs where the evidence lives: inside your VPC, on your own hardware, or fully air-gapped. Models, indexes and logs stay with you.
