Defense
Trust Dominance
In contested environments, the side that extends trust faster holds the advantage
Defense depends on trust decisions where accuracy and speed are both non-negotiable. The pressure to get it right is matched only by the pressure to get it done.
Current vetting was built for a different era
Vetting systems were designed to look backward: historical patterns, known profiles, prior behavior, and comprehensive in-person assessments. That creates delay for the majority and leaves room for sophisticated actors who know how to work around existing methods.
The result is a trade-off that has become accepted as inevitable: move fast and risk exposure, or slow down and stay safe. Clearspeed eliminates that tradeoff. Trust Dominance in practice.
At the tactical edge, AI speeds up every decision except one: who to trust
AI accelerates the decision cycle at every level of defense. It does not change who still has to be trusted. The data is only as good as the source. As automation expands capability and synthetic content compromises identity, assessing the people in the chain becomes more critical. AI needs trusted inputs. Clearspeed adds the trust layer that makes those inputs possible.

One brief interaction unlocks decisive trust advantages
Speed
Decisions at operational tempo
Risk indicators come back in seconds, so operators move the genuine majority forward without slowing operations down.
Clarity
A signal for the moment
Operators get a clearer read at the moment of decision, even in environments where background data is thin or unavailable. A few vocal responses to yes-or-no questions give them an individualized, current risk signal they can act on, even when the file has holes.
Objectivity
One standard, any operating environment
The same process applies across roles, regions, and languages, without relying on demographic data, profiles, or operator assumptions to screen for risk.
Reach
Field-ready from day one
Deploy through mobile or web link in environments where decisions are already being made, without adding heavy infrastructure or specialized staff.
Scale
Scale where other methods fail
Polygraph doesn't scale. Foreign intelligence isn't always available. Clearspeed gives defense organizations a way to extend trust at scale, not by lowering the standard but by changing what makes scale possible. Whether screening dozens of recruits or supporting continuous vetting across large populations, the standard holds.
"The ability to conduct rapid and accurate risk assessments at scale is critical to maintaining national security in operating domains. As the DoW expands its mission set, solutions like Clearspeed will play an increasingly vital role in protecting personnel, assets, and classified information."

Proven in the field
Clearspeed has supported U.S. Department of War programs since its earliest defense deployments. US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has used it since 2018, beginning with the screening of 715 Afghan commando recruits in under 20 hours. Today, that work extends to force protection, partner force screening, assessment and selection, and insider threat programs across the globe.

How it works
01
The questions
Personnel answer a short set of objective yes-or-no questions.
02
The signal
Clearspeed analyzes for risk signals in the vocal response.
03
The indicator
You receive a clear risk indicator in seconds.
Minimal risk
Clear to proceed
Personnel move forward. No delay, no friction.
Elevated risk
Follow up for review
The cases that need a closer look, get one.
Built to optimize the workflow, not rebuild it
Defense organizations already have enough systems to manage. Clearspeed integrates with existing infrastructure and security architecture, so operators can add a current trust layer at the edge or in the enterprise without disrupting the systems already carrying operational weight.
API connection
Clearspeed connects to your existing systems via a secure REST API. Results come back in seconds, directly in your stack.
Any point of contact
Phone, mobile, tablet, secure web portal, field application — any voice-enabled device. Clearspeed works across the channels you already support. No new interface for personnel to learn.
Across every operation
Initial screening, foreign national vetting, continuous evaluation, clearance renewal. Start with one program and expand from there.
Ready to bring real-time trust into your workflows?
Most government deployments begin with a focused pilot: one use case, one program, measurable outcomes. From there, Clearspeed expands across the programs and populations that need it most.
