01
Forgotten warnings
Find concerns that recur across years, disappear from executive summaries and return as incidents.
Institutional Memory Due Diligence
What has the institution learned not to see?
Due diligence finds disclosed liabilities. Ghost Ledger finds inherited omissions: forgotten warnings, diffused responsibility, absent constituencies and historical patterns that the transaction file does not know how to hold.
Before you buy the company, ask what its documents have trained everyone not to see.
The missing class of risk
An institution can disclose every known fact and still conceal a pattern.
Not necessarily through fraud. Often through repetition: warnings lose their authors, affected people fall out of the record, commitments become nouns, chronology flattens and a contingent decision begins to look inevitable. Ghost Ledger audits that inheritance.
02
Agency diffusion
Trace where named decisions become “process failures”, “market conditions” or actions with no actor.
03
Shadow constituencies
Identify people materially present in events but absent from the documents that govern the response.
04
Historical continuity
Surface older arrangements and repeated patterns that the present-tense transaction narrative treats as new.
05
Broken provenance
Mark claims, assurances and inherited data whose source chain cannot be followed.
06
Narrative inevitability
Expose where one future is presented as technical necessity rather than an accountable institutional choice.
Preservative AI
A map of absence, not a verdict.
Ghost Ledger applies the GoldBerry eight-lens framework, Suffixscape linguistic diagnostics, source provenance and a reflexive self-audit. Every material finding is reviewed by a human and tied to the corpus.
- Preserve the original source and chain of evidence.
- Audit what is present, absent and structurally displaced.
- Trace actors, decisions, warnings and changing language over time.
- Escalate uncertainty and disagreement for named human review.
- Publish the framework version, model conditions and audit history.

Transaction Memory Sprint
£12,500
Indicative founding price for the first three pilots. Final scope depends on corpus size, sensitivity and specialist review.

- Machine-readable findings file

Boundary: Ghost Ledger does not provide legal, financial or regulatory advice and does not decide whether a transaction should proceed. It gives qualified decision-makers a traceable set of questions the ordinary file may not generate.
Preservative AI is not a machine that knows more. It is infrastructure that helps institutions forget less—and makes the politics of their forgetting inspectable.
