Sorting Hat

An intelligence layer over a LinkedIn network of 10,000 contacts. Every contact sorted into groups, the few worth a conversation surfaced first, and what is new about them delivered with sources. The public demo runs the same software on invented sample data.

Sorting Hat overview on sample data: contact counts, groups and sourced findings

The work

Every claim arrives
with its source.

Sorting Hat reads a LinkedIn connections export and sorts every contact into groups that mean something: funds, founders, operators, press. A scoring pass promotes the few people worth attention first, and a research pipeline watches them, surfacing what has changed: a fund closed, a role moved, a company sold.

The rule that shapes the whole build: an AI claim without a source does not exist. Every finding links to where it came from, and anything the pipeline cannot source is refused rather than guessed. The rules are enforced in the database itself, and the logic is tested against fixtures, never against a live model.

The product holds a real professional network, so the production system lives behind a login, reads LinkedIn without the ability to write back, and shows its data to exactly one person. The demo linked below is the same software running on invented sample contacts, and it will sort a LinkedIn export of your own if you bring one. This is how we build for businesses whose data cannot be public.

Classification

10,000 contacts sorted into groups that mean something, with a review queue for the uncertain ones.

Prioritisation

Scoring that promotes the few people worth a conversation, so attention goes where it pays.

Sourced research

Live findings on the people who matter, every one linked to where it came from.

Private by design

Login-only in production, read-only towards LinkedIn, one reader. The demo holds only sample data.
