LittleSis (opposite of “Big Brother”) is a grassroots watchdog network connecting the dots between the world’s most influential people and organizations, including politicians, business leaders, lobbyists, financiers, and their affiliated institutions. The data derives from government filings, news articles, and other reputable sources that are public and scattered across the internet.
LittleSis helps answer questions such as:
- Who do the wealthiest Americans donate their money to?
- Where did White House officials work before they were appointed?
- Which lobbyists are married to politicians, and who do they lobby for?
Using the LittleSis Transforms in Maltego, investigators can discover politicians, CEOs, world leaders, and other high-profile figures to explore their spheres of influence and to see how they are connected with one another in a visual way.
