Public Vector Pre-suit investigation for plaintiff's counsel

Pre-suit investigation, compressed to ten minutes per defendant.

A complaint that holds up needs the trackers documented, the verbatim representations captured before they're scrubbed, the consent UX measured, and chain of custody on every artifact. Public Vector automates that work and produces a sealed PDF ready to drop into a complaint, an opposition brief, or a class-cert backup record.

This walkthrough covers the four entry points: Quick Scan for one-off vetting, the Dashboard for screening 100,000+ defendants at once, the Web Agent for deep-dives, and the sealed PDF that comes out the other end.
Phase 1

Quick Scan — vet one defendant in 30 seconds

For the moment a referral lands and you need to know whether the defendant has a real footprint.

Paste a URL. Public Vector returns the basics: which trackers are firing on the homepage, what categories they fall into — analytics, advertising, identity resolution, session replay — and an arbitrage gap score that compares what the site is doing to what its privacy policy actually discloses. Same tracker-detection pipeline that powers the dashboard and the agent, smaller scope.

Quick Scan walkthrough: paste a URL, run the scan, watch results land

What you'll see: Paste bombas.com, the scan kicks off, tracker detection runs in the background. Final result lands in 30–90 seconds with the full tracker inventory and arbitrage gap.

Phase 2

Dashboard — 100,000 defendants, pre-audited

The haystack-to-needle tool for finding cases you didn't already know you had.

Every defendant in the dashboard carries an arbitrage gap score between zero and one, measuring the distance between what the site does and what it discloses. Filter by industry, by minimum gap, by tracker category — anyone running session replay, syncing identifiers to a data broker, firing a Meta Pixel on a HIPAA-adjacent flow, or burying a class-action waiver in unconscionable ToS. The remaining list is your case-discovery shortlist. Click any row for the detail drawer: every third-party recipient, PII capability flags, ToS provisions classified.

Dashboard walkthrough: filter by industry, gap, and tracker; click into a defendant drawer

What you'll see: Industry → Health & Medical, Gap ≥ 0.5, Tracker = LiveRamp. List narrows to the highest-leverage candidates. One click opens the defendant drawer with 25+ third-party recipients and ToS classification.

Phase 3

Web Agent — go deeper on the defendants you pick

For defendants the dashboard's pre-audit doesn't cover — or doesn't cover deeply enough.

Point the agent at any defendant's domain. Pick the case-line buckets you're hunting — false advertising, FDA approval, fake-sale pricing, subscription auto-renewal, browsewrap-defective consent. The agent drives the site under FRE 901 chain of custody. The network listener captures every tracker firing across every page (including popups), the representation extractor flags verbatim language matching your buckets, and every binding moment — submit buttons, checkout submits — gets a wrap-evidence capture with annotated overlay and fold distance to the nearest ToS link. Ten minutes per defendant. Roughly $0.20 in agent runtime.

Web Agent walkthrough: point at a domain, select claim buckets, run

What you'll see: Point the agent at hims.com, select claim buckets (pricing, safety/health, subscription), launch, and watch screenshots, tracker events, and wrap-evidence captures populate in real time. Run ends with a PDF download button.

Phase 4

The sealed PDF — file-ready evidence

What every Quick Scan, dashboard drill-down, and agent run actually produces.

The deliverable is a sealed PDF you drop into a complaint, an opposition brief, or a class-cert backup record. Defendant identification with registered agent and OSINT-derived corporate footprint. Consent overlay with measured fold distance. Wrap classification with circuit-by-circuit case-law alignment. Verbatim representations with Wayback-anchored class periods. Sensitive transmissions captured from the network log. Methodology and chain-of-custody appendix surface scope limits honestly — where the agent couldn't reach (login walls, paid checkouts, captcha boundaries) is named in the record. Every artifact carries a SHA-256 hash and RFC 3161 third-party timestamp.

A page from the noom.com sealed litigation PDF — FactBundle: BROWSEWRAP classification, 6,152 px fold distance, footer-only Terms link

What you'll see above: a real page from the noom.com sealed audit — the §8 FactBundle classifying noom's signup-survey ToS link as BROWSEWRAP at high confidence, with 6,152 px measured fold distance to the nearest ToS link, footer-only Terms placement, and no submit-time acknowledgment. The full 20-page report is downloadable below.
