Every tip your newsroom gets, read, grouped, and mapped.

Your next big story is sitting in an inbox.

Tip lines get hundreds of messages a week, and a tip form takes one paragraph and stops. No follow-up, no way back to the source. The tip that matters gets buried.

Meet Sherlock. He interviews every source.

Sherlock is the AI inside Leed. Sources talk to him on your site, and he asks what a good reporter would ask, then writes it up for your desk.

Your reporters decide. He never contacts a source.

Then he goes looking for proof.

Sherlock searches public records for anything that backs the tip up or knocks it down, and links every one.

Many tips into one story.

Different people, different days, same water tower. Sherlock files them together and puts them on the map.

Each story finds its reporter.

Tell Sherlock what each reporter covers. He sends every tip to the one who wants it.

Every story gets its own file.

A lead reporter, a status and notes for the desk. Every claim in the brief shows the tip’s own words and the record behind it. Every company and official gets a page with every tip that names them.

Talk to sources without exposing them.

The reporter asks. The source decides. If they say yes, they talk through a private relay, and nobody’s number or email changes hands.

Even Leed can’t see who your source is.

A source’s name, files and messages are locked in their own browser before they’re sent. Leed keeps the locked copy and never holds the key. It opens only on your newsroom’s approved devices, after the source says yes.

No accounts, no bylines, no addresses kept. Tor, your own AI model and your own file server are options.
