Unverified claims
are everywhere.
Evidence is not.

In logistics, supply chain, and regulated industries, contracts worth millions rest on vendor claims that were never independently verified. Horisu surfaces what the evidence actually confirms - and what it does not.

The Problem

Why this problem
is getting harder,
not easier.

In regulated industries like pharma cold chain and logistics IoT, the cost of an unverified claim materializing is not a bad quarter. It is litigation, patient risk, or a write-off that ends a program.

01 - The Claim Problem

Everyone claims. Nobody verifies.

A vendor claims 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Another claims patented technology covering their core product. A third claims enterprise-scale cold chain deployment. These claims appear in every pitch deck, every RFP response, every product page. Most are never independently confirmed before a contract is signed or a check is written.

02 - The Fragmentation Problem

The evidence exists. It is scattered.

The facts that confirm or contradict most innovation claims are publicly accessible - across patent offices, regulatory databases, standards bodies, court records, and independent audits. But they live in disconnected silos, each requiring domain-specific expertise to query. No single tool has assembled them around the vendor making the claim.

03 - The AI Problem

Generation is cheap. Verification is not.

In an age when any claim can be generated in seconds and any market analysis can be produced at scale, the gap between what is real and what is convincingly described has never been wider.

Evidence Flow

How evidence becomes intelligence.

Input → Engine → Output

Discover how Horisu systematically transforms raw public records-such as regulatory filings, certifications, and audit reports-into trustworthy insights. Our process examines and authenticates each piece of information to ensure that all assertions are supported by credible evidence before they are used to guide your decisions.

The Evidence Standard

Not what is claimed.
What can be confirmed.

Horisu draws on regulatory records, patents, certifications, audits, and courts - then classifies every claim on a four-tier standard. Each insight is traceable; T1 through T4 is the gap between a verified fact and marketing language.

We start in logistics IoT and pharma cold chain, where technical depth and regulatory stakes make that gap costliest.

T1
Confirmed
Independently verified against a primary authoritative source - USPTO, FCC Equipment Authorization DB, FDA filings, ISO certification registries, court records.
A grant ID traceable to a government database. A patent number with a file history. A court filing with a docket number. Facts that exist independently of the company making them.
T2
Corroborated
Multiple independent secondary sources that are consistent with each other and with the claim. No single authoritative record, but triangulated from credible sources.
Three independent sources say the same thing. No primary record confirms it - but the pattern is consistent enough to note. Useful context. Not a foundation for a contract.
T3
Inferred
Reasonable inference from confirmed adjacent facts. The conclusion is plausible given confirmed evidence, but not directly verified. Labeled explicitly - never presented as confirmed.
The surrounding evidence points in one direction. We follow it - and say so. Every T3 classification carries the reasoning that produced it, not just the conclusion.
T4
Asserted
Company-claimed only. Appears in marketing, product pages, or press releases. No independent verification found. This is the default state of most vendor claims - and the one most procurement decisions are currently based on.
“Industry-leading accuracy.” “Enterprise-grade compliance.” Their words. Their page. No external record found. This is what most competitive intelligence is built on.
