RELLEN is transforming interview capability through first-of-its-kind, patent-pending computer-vision interview intelligence software. SecretSight™ provides real-time detection of critical behavioural markers of unreliable responses - without reliance on language, culture, or verbal content. Developed for covert and sensitive use, SecretSight™ operates passively and in real time, enabling officers and analysts to focus resources where they matter most and ensuring critical lines of enquiry are not missed. The system accelerates front-line and investigative interview-related processes by 30%, while delivering at least 15% improvements in interception and case success rates across border and port-of-entry screening, checkpoint and access-control operations, immigration and asylum screening, federal law enforcement investigations, and intelligence and counterintelligence operations.
