Executive Summary

Researchers, investigative journalists, and engaged consumers often can't reliably find, verify, or search primary-source leaked documents, instead relying on inconsistent secondhand summaries and fragmented hosting that slow discovery and undermine trust. This is a recurring pain for roughly 8 million monthly interested users who currently lack a centralized, searchable, and trusted archive. Build a secure, indexed platform that hosts high-profile leaked documents with machine-generated summaries augmented by human verification, provenance metadata, redaction tooling, and fast semantic (vector) search. Deliver mobile-optimized short-form summaries for discovery, subscription/donation and institutional access tiers, plus APIs for researchers and newsrooms. The market looks attractive now — a $1.2B opportunity based on 8M monthly users at $12 ARPU annually, supported by an 88/100 market score and rapid advances in NLP and vector search that make instant summarization and discovery practical. Competition is medium, so early focus on trust, verification workflows, and distribution partnerships can win share. You can differentiate by making verification and provenance first-class (human-verified summaries, chain-of-custody metadata) and by optimizing for mobile discovery and institutional APIs to capture both consumer and research revenue. Be upfront about legal and sourcing risks, the cost of reliable human verification, and the need for strong editorial and legal controls — these are solvable but will shape go-to-market pace and margins.

Market Opportunity

Preserve and search high-profile leaked documents with verified summaries targets a $1.2B = 8M interested monthly users × $12 ARPU (subscriptions, donations, institutional access) annually total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 8% YoY (digital news subscriptions and independent-media funding growth; Pew Research and industry reports show steady subscription growth).

Key trends driving demand: Trend — Consumers and researchers increasingly demand primary-source access rather than secondhand summaries, creating demand for searchable archives.; Trend — Advances in NLP and vector search make instant summarization and semantic lookup possible across heterogeneous documents, improving discoverability.; Trend — Mobile-first news consumption and social discovery drive demand for accessible document viewers and short-form summaries optimized for phones.; Trend — Newsrooms and researchers seek APIs and embed-able tools to integrate documents into workflows, enabling B2B licensing opportunities..

Key competitors include DocumentCloud, Internet Archive, ProPublica / Investigative Outlets (aggregated).
