Clarity in a cloudy market

ShortSight is an open-source financial transparency platform built to help consumers, researchers, and legal professionals track questionable investment advice, market behavior, and patterns of financial misconduct. Designed around the principle of accountability, ShortSight creates a centralized database where users can document complaints involving brokers, hedge funds, real estate investment promoters, crypto sales organizations, and other financial entities. By combining complaint records with market data and public evidence, the platform provides clarity in situations where advice may have conflicted with foreseeable market realities.

One of ShortSight’s core strengths is its complaint management system. Users can submit complaints anonymously or as verified contributors, attach supporting evidence such as screenshots, statements, videos, emails, or transaction records, and track the progress of each submission over time. Complaints can be linked to related cases involving the same advisor, fund, or company, allowing larger patterns of behavior to emerge. This makes the platform especially useful for identifying repeat misconduct or building the factual basis for class action investigations.

ShortSight also includes powerful market intelligence tools. It can track fund performance, compare public recommendations against actual market outcomes, and monitor shorting activity or unusual capital movements surrounding advice events. Public statements from firms or advisors can be archived and connected to later results, creating a timeline of claims versus reality. With interactive dashboards, charts, and sector-wide trend analysis, users can quickly identify risk patterns across industries such as hedge funds, brokerage firms, crypto projects, and speculative real estate offerings.

For legal and consumer advocacy purposes, ShortSight offers features such as class-action eligibility flags, complaint categorization, historical misconduct records, and exportable reports for attorneys, journalists, or regulators. Community collaboration tools allow verified experts and researchers to annotate complaints, verify evidence, and contribute insights. AI-assisted analytics can help detect suspicious behavior, conflicts of interest, and emerging trends before they become widespread. Released under the AGPL 3.0+ license, ShortSight is built to remain open, transparent, and community-driven for everyone who values fair and honest markets.
