Building the Intelligence Layer for Asset Recovery
TraceLock AI develops proprietary artificial intelligence systems that transform how organisations track, locate, and recover assets. We combine deep learning, computer vision, and distributed infrastructure to create capabilities that were previously impossible.
Our Mission
Every day, billions of pounds worth of assets change hands through secondary marketplaces globally. Within this vast ecosystem, stolen and misappropriated items circulate with near impunity. Traditional recovery methods—manual searches, keyword alerts, human investigators—cannot scale to meet this challenge.
We founded TraceLock AI with a singular focus: build AI systems sophisticated enough to find needles in a billion-item haystack. Our NEXUS, PRISM, and ATLAS systems represent years of research into semantic understanding, visual recognition, and distributed computing—purpose-built for the unique challenges of marketplace intelligence.
We partner with insurance companies, enterprise organisations, and government agencies who share our commitment to legitimate asset recovery. Our technology is a force multiplier for investigators, enabling them to achieve outcomes that would be impossible through manual effort alone.
Our Principles
Precision Above All
We build systems that prioritise accuracy over speed. A single false positive in asset recovery can have serious consequences, so our models are trained to exceptional precision standards.
Research-Driven Innovation
Our work is grounded in rigorous empirical research. We contribute to the academic community and believe that advancing the field benefits everyone.
Human-AI Collaboration
Our systems augment human investigators rather than replace them. We design tools that amplify expertise and provide actionable intelligence.
Global Perspective
Asset recovery is a global challenge. We build systems that understand cultural nuances, local marketplaces, and cross-border dynamics.
Infrastructure Excellence
We invest heavily in foundational infrastructure. Robust systems enable rapid innovation and ensure reliability at scale.
Ethical Technology
We carefully consider the implications of our technology and maintain strict policies on acceptable use. Power requires responsibility.
Research & Development
Deep Learning Systems
Our NEXUS architecture represents a novel approach to semantic understanding in unstructured marketplace data. We've developed custom transformer architectures optimised for the specific challenges of listing text—abbreviations, misspellings, obfuscation attempts, and multilingual content.
The system processes raw listing data through multiple extraction stages, building 384-dimensional embeddings that capture semantic meaning. These representations enable similarity matching that goes far beyond keyword matching.
Computer Vision
PRISM builds on recent advances in self-supervised visual learning. We've trained models specifically on the visual characteristics that matter for asset identification— serial numbers, distinctive marks, wear patterns, and unique identifiers.
The system handles the real-world challenges of marketplace imagery: poor lighting, unusual angles, watermarks, and deliberate attempts to obscure identifying features.
Distributed Infrastructure
ATLAS orchestrates our global scanning operations across thousands of concurrent processes. We've built sophisticated scheduling, rate limiting, and anti-detection systems that enable comprehensive marketplace coverage while respecting platform constraints.
The system adapts in real-time to marketplace changes, automatically adjusting crawling patterns and handling captchas, authentication walls, and dynamic content.
Continuous Learning
CORTEX implements our continuous improvement pipeline. Every match confirmation and false positive report feeds back into our models, gradually improving accuracy across all categories and marketplaces.
We've developed novel techniques for online learning that allow models to adapt without catastrophic forgetting, maintaining performance on established categories while improving on emerging patterns.
