01 / SITUATION

Public money leaves a trail.
But the trail is fragmented.

A single procurement event in Indian public administration spans multiple lifecycle phases. The underlying transactions generate data across separate digital portals, each operated by different agencies with disparate data models.

One procurement event — multiple disconnected records

No Shared Identifiers

Tenders issued on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) do not carry the same structural identifiers as contracts registered on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) or disbursements routed through the Public Financial Management System (PFMS).

Inconsistent Entity Names

A single corporate vendor may appear under variations of its legal name, abbreviation, or parent company name across different state and central systems, preventing simple keyword correlations.

No Traceability of Funds

Without deterministic and probabilistic reconciliation, senior officers cannot trace the exact path of a budget allocation to its final award, contract terms, and payment disbursements.

One Reconciled Record Queryable. Traceable. Auditable.

Alethman does not invent intelligence from hidden information.

We collect, structure, and reconcile records that are already publicly published across distinct government portals. By applying rigorous data engineering and entity resolution, we establish direct traceability between disjointed records, mapping them to a single procurement event.

Our core operating philosophy is "show your working." Every reconciled field is linked to its verified source, preserving the complete provenance and transaction history.

03 / INTERFACE

See the record behind the number.

The Alethman interface is built for analysis, not marketing. It is structured to expose data conflicts, match confidence, and absolute provenance. Below is a representative preview of a reconciled procurement record.

04 / VERIFIABILITY

Every number has a source.

No aggregate stats without primary audit trails.

In public finance, a summary table is only as reliable as the individual vouchers supporting it. Alethman ensures that every row in our analytical dashboards maintains an unbroken trace back to the primary record published by the government agency.

This allows internal audit divisions, senior buyers, and public finance researchers to inspect the exact timestamp, source portal, and identifier that generated the aggregate value.

05 / METHODOLOGY

Built on deterministic foundations.

Alethman applies a structured reconciliation methodology to preserve data integrity. We do not synthesize data or perform black-box calculations.

01

Collect

Structured ingestion from public procurement systems. We systematically ingest public procurement and disbursement records from primary platforms including CPPP, GeM, and PFMS using structured pipelines.

CPPP → GeM → PFMS → Ingestion Pipeline → Raw Store
02

Normalise

Standardise entities, dates, currencies and identifiers. Raw strings are standardised: entity names are cleansed, dates are formatted to ISO 8601, and monetary currencies are mapped to a uniform baseline.

Entity Resolution → Date Normalisation → Currency Mapping → Identifier Alignment
03

Reconcile

Deterministic matching first. Probabilistic entity resolution only when required. We match records deterministically when unique IDs cross-reference. Where IDs are absent, we use probabilistic entity resolution.

GSTIN Match → Name Similarity (Jaro-Winkler) → Value Correlation → Timeline Alignment
04

Trace

Preserve source records and complete provenance. Reconciled records preserve the original unmodified documents, allowing any analyst to immediately drill down into the primary source records.

SHA-256 Hash → Source Preservation → Audit Trail → Provenance Chain
06 / TRUST & HONESTY

We would rather show an uncertain join
than a wrong answer.

Unlike platforms that silently force matches to look clean, Alethman surfaces every conflict, every ambiguity, and every data gap. When records cannot be resolved deterministically, we do not guess — we flag.

Transparency Over Confidence

Every join shows its confidence score, the algorithm used, and the specific fields that agree or conflict.

07 / CAPABILITIES

From procurement records to spend visibility.

Alethman enables senior decision-makers to convert scattered transactions into strategic institutional insights across five primary functional areas.

01

Spend Visibility

Aggregate procurement data across various ministries, categories, and locations to identify exact spending patterns and allocation leaks.

02

Vendor Concentration

Identify market share patterns, single-bidder awards, and parent company concentrations across state and regional tenders.

03

Price Benchmarking

Compare unit prices paid by different departments for identical items to identify procurement overpayments and optimize buying terms.

04

Budget to Payment

Follow the flow of public capital from initial legislative budget allocations to final vendor bank ledger disbursements.

05

Audit Preparation

Equip compliance divisions with pre-reconciled records and complete transaction audit trails rather than disjointed, manual spreadsheets.

08 / PUBLIC OFFICE

Useful on Day One.

PUBLIC DATA. NO INTERNAL SYSTEM INTEGRATION. IMMEDIATE ANALYTICAL VALUE.

NO INTEGRATION REQUIRED

Analytics run completely on verified open public records. No connection to internal departmental systems needed.

PUBLIC-SOURCE DATA

Zero risk to secure or confidential departmental servers. All data originates from published government portals.

IMMEDIATE VALUE DELIVERY

Every result traces back to an official government link. Transparent methodology with no proprietary black-box calculations.

09 / COVERAGE LIMITS

Built on public records.

We ingest transaction and award data from authoritative public systems. We only claim coverage for confirmed, active pipelines.

PRIMARY DATA BASELINE

CPPP

Central Public Procurement Portal

Central and State Government tenders, technical evaluations, commercial bids, and contract awards.

PRIMARY DATA BASELINE

GeM

Government e-Marketplace

Direct purchases, reverse auctions, supplier catalogues, and purchase orders from Central & PSU entities.

PRIMARY DATA BASELINE

PFMS

Public Financial Management System

State disbursement lists, direct beneficiary payments, and program-wise financial releases.

State procurement portals, specific PSU purchase ledgers, and ministry budget accounts are added as ingestion pipelines scale. Refer to our Coverage Map for updates.
10 / OPERATING BOUNDARIES

What we deliberately do not do.

We believe that setting clear boundaries is fundamental to establishing institutional trust. Alethman is data infrastructure, not a law-enforcement tool or an opinion portal.

01

We do not score officials

We do not assign risk scores, performance ranks, or qualitative ratings to individual public officers or government departments.

02

We do not allege wrongdoing

We present reconciled transactional discrepancy facts. The analysis and interpretation of those facts are left completely to qualified public authorities.

03

We do not overwrite records

Where primary sources disagree on transactional figures, we preserve and display both values side-by-side, maintaining historical provenance.

04

We do not sell contact data

Our platform does not sell marketing leads, vendor lists, or commercial contact directories. We operate purely as analytical data infrastructure.

05

We do not track individuals

We track institutional financial flows and public corporate vendor entities. We never collect personal movement, communication, or biometric profiles.

06

We do not bypass portals

We process data that is publicly published. We do not access databases behind secure departmental logins or bypass public access rules.

11 / SYSTEM INTEGRITY

Transparency is part of the product.

Alethman operates under strict internal data governance guidelines. Because we serve the public administration space, we do not make unverified claims regarding official certifications or partnerships. We base our system integrity on technical design:

SOURCE PRESERVATION

All raw data payloads are archived with SHA-256 integrity hashes to prove source record authenticity.

RECONCILIATION AUDIT

Every join operation records the specific algorithm, version, and match criteria used to link records.

12 / INQUIRIES

Frequently Asked Questions

Alethman is a private, independent data infrastructure platform that processes and reconciles public procurement records from Indian government sources—including CPPP, GeM, and PFMS. We link separate records into unified profiles to provide transparency and spend visibility.

Government procurement systems are fragmented. Tenders, awards, contracts, and payments are stored in separate silos without shared database keys. Alethman resolves entities and cross-references transactions to provide a complete view of spend from budget demand to final disbursement.

Our primary users are senior officers in government departments, finance divisions, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) who require audit preparation and spend analytics. It is also utilized by financial researchers and compliance divisions.

No. Alethman is strictly a transaction-based data infrastructure platform. We process public institutional financial records and corporate entity data. We do not track individuals, monitor communication, compile biometric profiles, or engage in administrative surveillance.

We do not rank or score officials, allege administrative wrongdoing, overwrite primary data records, sell corporate marketing leads, or bypass secure government networks. We serve strictly as an analytical database tool.

The name derives from two root concepts: aletheia (Greek for truth brought out of concealment) and maan (Sanskrit for measure). Combined, the name signifies: Truth, measured.
