Three disciplines.
One consultant.

Most compliance consultants can't build technology. Most AI developers don't understand regulation. Coldstorm bridges both — with hands-on trading experience that adds a third dimension.

Investigator

Former Binance market surveillance. Investigated wash trading, spoofing, and layering across 150M+ users. Processed 100+ alerts daily. Traced $500K+ in assets using Chainalysis Reactor. Drafted SARs and managed L2 escalations.

Trader

Former Keyrock algorithmic trader. Managed $10M+ daily volume across 22 institutional clients. Operator-level understanding of the exact market manipulation patterns later investigated at Binance — a perspective regulators and compliance teams rarely have.

Engineer

5 production AI compliance systems deployed and running continuously. Custom agents for automated alert triage, SAR drafting, and intelligent document processing. Built with Claude API, LangChain, Python, and Rust — not off-the-shelf tools.

Litigation Intelligence Engine

AI-Powered Dispute Resolution Support — From Evidence to Settlement

Multi-Channel Evidence Synthesis

Ingests emails, WhatsApp exports, contracts, financial records, and call transcripts simultaneously. Overlays channels to find contradictions no sequential review can catch.

Cross-Party Contradiction Detection

Automatically identifies where Party A told Party B something different from what Party A told Party C. Builds impeachment-ready profiles with source citations.

Evidence Ranking & Deploy/Hold Strategy

Categorizes every finding into “deploy now” or “hold for arbitration” with strategic rationale. Your counsel sees not just what the evidence says, but when to use it.

Damages Quantification

Calculates damages across multiple legal theories — unpaid obligations, lost revenue, unjust enrichment, consequential and punitive damages — all source-cited.

Proven in Production
7-Figure Claim Value
2 Law Firms Coordinated
$50K–$130K+ Equivalent Value Delivered

Battle-tested on a live multi-jurisdictional commercial dispute — not a demo, not a simulation.
