Like all of the software that C4ADS creates, Seamless Horizons was initially designed just for our analysts. Their investigative process was bogged down by having to search and remember multiple websites to source their data, and their time to analysis and insight was hampered by having to manually sort through large unstructured datasets. Recognizing that our analytical efficiency would skyrocket if we could collect, store, and query those data in one place, we began the Seamless Horizons project. Today, it has grown into a resource supporting hundreds of our partners around the world.

The mission of C4ADS is to create ecosystem change in the fight against illicit networks, but we cannot achieve this goal alone. By partnering and empowering a global community of partners, we seek to create long-lasting, transformative change.

Seamless Horizons was designed for those on the frontlines of this fight:

  • Journalists use the platform to create hard-hitting stories that hold the powerful to account;

  • Private-sector compliance organizations can make use of the tool to support enhanced due diligence efforts and deny illicit actors a space in our trade, transport, and financial systems;

  • Civil society investigators have access to a wide range of tools and data sources within the platform to create data behind their advocacy;

  • And many others. Tell us about your use case at [email protected]
