empalme: auditing the government transition
an incoming team has weeks to understand what it inherits. empalme turns the outgoing government's entire procurement into a map by sector, validated against the official handover report, with risks and expirations in view. signals and indications, never verdicts.

what it delivers
the incoming administration receives documents hundreds of pages long and little time. empalme turns them into four pieces it can use from day one.
sector memo
what was contracted, with whom, for how much and which risk signals appear, sector by sector.
navigable risk views
contracts and agencies ranked by risk, linked to the official procurement record.
expiration timeline
when inherited contracts expire, with the transition window marked. the most used artifact in the pilot.
ai assistant
natural-language questions about inherited procurement, with answers that cite the contract.
validated against the official record
empalme's figures are reconciled with the official handover reports using their own methodology. in the pilot: 22,107 contracts against the government's 22,109 in the interior sector, and 11 of 11 agencies in agriculture. agencies are pinned by tax id, never by name matching.
who it is for
for anyone who has to receive, audit or explain a government.
transition teams
national, regional and municipal teams taking over an administration.
oversight bodies
audit offices and inspectors general watching the transition.
other governments
countries with open contracting portals using the ocds standard.
how it is deployed
the detection engine, interface and sector sheets are country-agnostic. configuration takes days; the critical path is the weeks of agency curation and validation against the official transition document, which is where the value is.
configuration
sector registry, outgoing-term window and oversight vocabulary.
curation and validation
agency roster by tax id and reconciliation against the official report.
data sources
secop in colombia; portable to ocds portals such as prozorro or contracts finder.
shared infrastructure
same procurement base, detection engine and agents as anticorrupcion.co.
frequently asked questions
what is a government transition audit?+
it is the review of what an outgoing administration hands over: contracts, assets, obligations and pending matters. in colombia this handover is called empalme, and law 951 of 2005 requires the outgoing heads of public entities to deliver a management report.
does it work outside colombia?+
yes, in countries with open contracting portals using the ocds standard. what changes is the agency curation and the validation against each country's official transition report.
does empalme accuse anyone?+
no. it shows signals and indications to prioritize review. every figure links to its official record, and the decision about what to investigate always stays with the human team.
