FiscalNote Releases “Epstein Unboxed,” a Comprehensive, AI-Enhanced Database Transforming Access to Epstein Investigation Records

Key Terms

ocr technical

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a technology that reads printed or handwritten text from images or scanned documents and turns it into editable, searchable digital text. For investors, OCR matters because it speeds up and automates reading financial reports, contracts, and regulatory filings—cutting manual work, reducing errors, and enabling faster analysis of large document sets, which can affect a company’s costs, accuracy of disclosures, and decision speed.

convertible note financial

A convertible note is a type of loan that a company gets from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. It matters because it helps startups raise money quickly without setting a fixed value for the company right away, making it easier to grow and attract investors.

beneficial ownership cap regulatory

A beneficial ownership cap is a rule that limits how much of a company a single investor or related group can effectively control, even if legal ownership could be higher. Think of it as a speed limit for ownership that prevents any one party from accumulating a controlling stake; it matters to investors because it affects takeover risk, voting power, dilution, and potential returns by shaping who can influence corporate decisions.

rule 144 regulatory

Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.

reverse stock split financial

A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.

restricted stock units financial

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

form s-3 regulatory

Form S-3 is a legal document companies use to register their stock sales with the government, making it easier and faster for them to raise money by selling shares to investors. It’s like having a pre-approved shopping list that lets a company quickly sell new shares when they need funds, without going through a lengthy approval process each time.

rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

Breakthrough archive and interactive webpage bring order, insight, and searchability to thousands of previously fragmented files — with continuous expansion as new disclosures emerge

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), the leading provider of AI-driven policy and regulatory intelligence solutions, today announced the launch of Epstein Unboxed, a comprehensive, fully structured, AI-enhanced database that consolidates thousands of documents tied to the Epstein investigations. Developed entirely in-house through FiscalNote’s expertise in AI and data engineering, Epstein Unboxed unifies emails, videos, legal filings, calendar entries, and other materials — including newly released content — into a single, intuitive resource featuring an interactive webpage that allows users to search-and-question the archive in real time.

With the Department of Justice preparing to release additional files expected to appear in large, unstructured batches, Epstein Unboxed arrives at a pivotal moment and is designed to support investigative journalists, policymakers, researchers, and members of the public to efficiently and quickly access and analyze these important public records. The archive centralizes documents that have historically surfaced in fragmented and inconsistent batches, enhancing transparency and making it significantly easier to locate, compare, and analyze newly disclosed information. As courts or government entities publish additional records, FiscalNote will continue to expand the archive and update the underlying dataset.

FiscalNote is uniquely positioned to deliver this resource through technology capable of reconstructing massive, disorganized government document releases at scale and with accuracy. Every file in Epstein Unboxed has been OCR processed, linearized for rapid streaming, text-extracted, and indexed, allowing users to search across the entire corpus without downloading large documents. FiscalNote’s AI tools further enrich the dataset by parsing emails to identify senders, recipients, timestamps, and subjects; generating summaries and keyword tags; following embedded links; and identifying speakers in transcripts. When additional files are released, FiscalNote’s processing pipeline organizes, indexes, and publishes searchable updates within four to eight hours, transforming the usability of raw materials that previously lacked any of it.

The new Epstein Unboxed webpage includes advanced search functionality, improved filtering, and cross-referencing tools that enable users to track connections across documents, surface related records, and monitor updates as new disclosures emerge. The built-in search-and-question box allows users to query the archive directly and explore AI-generated insights that help guide deeper investigation and understanding.

“This is the kind of work FiscalNote was built to do,” said Josh Resnik, CEO & President of FiscalNote. “Significant volumes of civic information often come in formats that are difficult to explore, navigate or understand, which limits how widely and meaningfully they can be used. Epstein Unboxed applies FiscalNote’s expertise in AI and data infrastructure to convert those materials into searchable, organized, and actionable information. We are committed to equipping journalists, policymakers, and the public with the tools they need to bring important information to light.”

FiscalNote will continue updating Epstein Unboxed as new materials enter the public domain and will expand its broader library of structured datasets that enhance public understanding of complex civic information.
