Our Mission

The world makes better decisions when it understands human emotion.

Financial services is built on trust. But trust — the real kind — has always involved reading people. EchoDepth doesn't replace human judgement. It gives human judgement a foundation.

We built EchoDepth to close the gap between what people say and what their physiology reveals — a gap that fraud exploits, that stress widens, and that consequential decisions are made across every day.

Our constraint is intentional: EchoDepth does not claim to detect lies. It measures the involuntary physiological markers that accompany stress, cognitive load and emotional state change. What humans do with that information is a matter of their process, their policy and their judgement. We build the instrument. We don't render the verdict.

Ethics & Responsible AI

We've thought harder
about the limits than the capabilities.

Emotional AI can be misused. We know this. Our approach to responsible deployment is not an afterthought — it is built into the product, the documentation and the commercial terms.

🚫
No lie detection claims

EchoDepth does not claim to detect deception. It measures physiological markers. This distinction is fundamental — and non-negotiable in all deployments.

👤
Human decision-making required

EchoDepth outputs are advisory. No automated decision that affects an individual may be made solely on the basis of EchoDepth data. A qualified human must review and act.

⚖️
Cultural bias actively addressed

Training across 6 countries and 14 cultures is not a marketing claim — it is a bias mitigation strategy. We will not deploy EchoDepth in contexts where demographic bias in the model could cause discriminatory outcomes.

🔒
Privacy by design

No raw video is retained. No biometric data is stored. All outputs are anonymised scores and statistical summaries. GDPR compliance is structural, not procedural.
