01Threshold evasion
BLOODHOUND
खोजी
Detects payments deliberately split to stay under sanction, tender or approval limits — repeated bills just below the delegation ceiling, round-number invoicing and serial awards to the same firm within one limit.
Nine Agents
Nine specialised examiners, one pass over your ledger
Each agent is scoped to one class of financial malpractice a government audit officer actually encounters, and each returns the transactions and the arithmetic behind every flag.
The Nine Agents
Nine specialised examiners, one pass over your ledger
Each agent is scoped to one class of malpractice an audit officer actually encounters. An agent only appears in the output if it found something, and every entry states the transactions and the calculation it rests on.
02Vendor collusion rings
SPIDER
जाल
Links suppliers that share a registered address, phone number, bank account, tax-ID prefix or common directors, exposing cartels bidding against themselves in the same tender.
03Ghost billing and phantom works
SKEPTIC
संशयी
Flags vague line items, works billed without measurable quantities, duplicate bills across financial years and single projects split into many small works to avoid open tendering.
04Timing anomalies
CHRONOS
कालचक्र
Surfaces March-end fund dumping to prevent lapse, sanction-to-payment completed the same day, backdated approvals and processing outside working hours.
05Geography mismatch
TRACKER
अनुचर
Compares vendor registration against the works location — suppliers hundreds of kilometres from the site, residential addresses for civil contractors, and awards outside the sanctioned jurisdiction.
06Beneficiary history
PROFILER
परिचायक
Identifies firms incorporated weeks before a large award, long-dormant entities suddenly reactivated, and beneficiaries appearing across multiple schemes under near-identical particulars.
07Head-of-account misuse
INQUISITOR
प्रश्नक
Catches expenditure booked against the wrong scheme or budget head, capital spending charged to revenue, and diversion between centrally sponsored and state-funded pools.
08Pass-through and circular routing
SPECTER
छाया
Traces value handed from a prime contractor to a single subcontractor, layered intermediaries adding no work, and funds returning to an originating entity through a chain of transfers.
09Consolidation and ranking
PROSECUTOR
अभियोजक
Reconciles the findings of the other eight into one audit brief — a single severity score per entity, the corroborating evidence, and the inspection or recovery action to consider first.
Agent reference
What each agent does, in an auditor's terms
One row per agent: the mandate it holds, the irregularity it looks for in departmental records, and the evidence it returns for the file.
| Agent | Audit mandate | What it flags | Evidence returned |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01Bloodhoundखोजी | Threshold evasion | Bills repeatedly cleared just under the sanction or tender ceiling, one work split into several smaller orders, and round-figure invoicing that avoids competitive bidding. | The transaction list, each amount, the applicable ceiling, the shortfall against it and the count of repetitions in the period. |
| 02Spiderजाल | Vendor collusion rings | Suppliers that share an address, telephone number, bank account, tax-ID series or directors, so a single interest bids against itself in the same tender. | The cluster of firms, the identifiers they share, and the tenders in which two or more of them appeared together. |
| 03Skepticसंशयी | Ghost billing and phantom works | Vague line items with no measurable quantity, the same bill raised in two financial years, and works certified without a measurement reference. | The bill numbers, dates, amounts and the duplicate or missing particulars that led to the flag. |
| 04Chronosकालचक्र | Timing anomalies | March-end dumping to prevent lapse of grant, sanction and payment completed the same day, and approvals recorded outside working hours. | Expenditure distribution by month and day, the sanction-to-payment interval per case, and the share of the year's spend in the final week. |
| 05Trackerअनुचर | Jurisdiction and geography mismatch | Vendors registered far from the works site, civil contractors at residential addresses, and awards made outside the sanctioned jurisdiction. | Vendor address of record, the work location on the order, the distance between them and the sanctioning authority's jurisdiction. |
| 06Profilerपरिचायक | Beneficiary and vendor history | Firms incorporated shortly before a large award, dormant entities suddenly reactivated, and beneficiaries recurring across schemes under near-identical particulars. | Date of registration against date of first award, the gap in transaction history, and the list of schemes the entity appears in. |
| 07Inquisitorप्रश्नक | Head-of-account misuse | Expenditure booked to the wrong scheme or budget head, capital items charged to revenue, and diversion between centrally sponsored and state pools. | The voucher, the head it was booked under, the head the item belongs to, and the amount diverted. |
| 08Specterछाया | Pass-through and circular routing | A prime contractor handing most of the value to one subcontractor, layered intermediaries adding no work, and funds returning to an originating entity. | The chain of payments in order, the share of value retained at each hop, and the closing loop where one exists. |
| 09Prosecutorअभियोजक | Consolidation and ranking | Nothing on its own — it reconciles the other eight so one entity flagged by several agents rises above one flagged by a single test. | A single severity score per entity, the corroborating findings behind it, and the inspection or recovery step to consider first. |

Disclosure
Operating boundary. NIRNAE holds no live access to treasury, PFMS, banking or departmental systems. The department exports the records it wants examined and submits them. The product is in pre-deployment: engagements today are supervised pilots on exported or anonymised datasets, and every finding is an indicator for verification, not a determination. Full answers in the FAQ.
