Public-Good Forensic Systems for the People Who Need Them Most

We build privacy-preserving detection tools that find missing persons, expose environmental fraud, and turn public data into public safety — all grounded in the mathematics of coherence.

Why We Exist

The right data to solve environmental injustice and find missing persons already exists in public databases — but no one connects it. Black Swan Technologies builds the connecting infrastructure: algorithms, platforms, and forensic tools. We give the results away. Our work is funded by grants, donations, and license fees; the core technology is held in the public trust.

Research & Methodology

Our work spans missing‑persons detection, environmental forensics, biophotonic engineering, and predictive analytics. The core engine — the Hilbert‑Odù correlation cascade — stacks weak correlating factors across multiple data layers to reveal patterns invisible to linear analysis.
