Profiles and reports

Every lookup you run is recorded against the thing you looked up. The Profile app is where that accumulation becomes visible.

Reading a profile is free — it costs no lookup quota, because the lookups behind it were already paid for.

#The profile

Type a subject — a domain, an address, an email, a handle — and you get everything your account has collected about it:

Identity — what the subject is, what type it was classified as, when it was first seen and when it was last seen.

Findings — every property recorded about it, each carrying how often it has been corroborated (seen 4×). A fact one tool reported once and a fact four tools agree on look different, which is the point.

Links — the relations to other entities your collection has established. A domain to its addresses, an address to its network, a network to its operator.

Collection — the log of which lookup produced what, and when.

If nothing has been collected yet, the profile says so and points you at Lookups. A profile never goes and fetches anything on its own.

#The printable report

Open printable report turns a profile into a document: a header with the subject, a report id and a generation timestamp, a summary, the sources with how many lookups each contributed and when it last ran, then the findings, relations and the collection log as tables.

Findings carry a confidence — confirmed, strong, reported, or derived — alongside their corroboration count (3 sightings / 2 tools). The footer says in as many words what the whole document assumes:

Generated by exo[intel] from open sources. Findings are recorded as observed and carry the confidence shown; they are not independently verified.

Print it, or save it as a PDF, from the browser.

#What is in a report, and what is not

A report only ever states what your account collected. There is no shared pool of findings between customers, and nothing is added to your profile by anyone else's work.

The classification banner is a label on the document, not a claim about the data: everything in it came from open sources.

#Exporting instead

If you want the underlying records rather than a document to read, export the profile as JSON or CSV — see Your data.
