Palo Alto, California, December 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Quantifind, a leader in AI-powered risk intelligence, today announced that it has been awarded a $6.9 million 12-month prototype contract from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to build the AI-enabled Diligence Evaluation (AIDE) platform. This effort will accelerate the DIU's ability to evaluate commercial partners and applicants for ongoing Commercial Solution Openings (CSOs), and will advance the Department of Defense's responsible use of AI in due diligence and risk management.
Quantfind announced a $6.9 million prototype contract from the Defense Innovation Division.
The AIDE platform leverages Quantfind's Graphyte™ technology to blend open source, commercial, and customer-specific data into a unified risk assessment environment. The system automates screening across thousands of entities in hours, uncovering indicators of foreign adversary ties, criminal activity, financial vulnerabilities, and investment exposure through AI-driven analysis.
As part of the award, Quantfind will:
- Build a purpose-built user interface that allows government analysts to perform bulk screening with automatic network expansion and multiple hopouts.
- Generate ICS-206.01 compliant reports for secure information sharing and strengthen platform security for handling sensitive data.
- Introducing large-scale language model (LLM)-based summarization capabilities to accelerate analyst workflow and decision-making.
- Evaluate and integrate new commercial and multilingual data partners to enhance visibility across global supply chains and corporate networks.
“This partnership shows that governments are aligning with the private sector in the responsible use of operational AI,” said Ari Tuchman, CEO and co-founder of Quantify. “It's been really exciting to work with our government partners over the last few years to consider how we can apply the same capabilities that banks use to detect bad actors to support national security.”
“This type of public-private collaboration creates a feedback loop that helps both communities do a better job. Whether it's stopping malicious activity, uncovering hidden ownership, or identifying high-risk networks before they cause harm, analysts need the best tools available.” Tuchman added.
The Defense Innovation Unit strengthens national security by accelerating the adoption of commercial technologies across the military and strengthening the innovation base for allies and national security. The DIU partners with organizations across the Department of Defense to rapidly prototype and field dual-use capabilities that solve operational challenges quickly and at scale.
Quantfind is a leader in AI-driven risk intelligence, trusted by seven of the 10 largest U.S. banks and multiple federal agencies to uncover hidden risks in complex data. The company's Graphyte™ platform uses machine learning, natural language processing, and proprietary name science to detect indicators of illicit finance, foreign influence, and supply chain exposure across billions of records.
