Against the documents it cites
When a figure points to an annual report, a note or a filing, Velydian opens that document and checks the figure against the passage, the period and the basis it reports.
For accounting, audit and finance teams
Every figure in your report, traced to the statement it came from.
Velydian checks each figure and statement in a board pack, annual report, memo or deck against the financial statements, filings and studies it relies on, and flags where a number or its meaning has drifted.
Free trial, no card needed.
- Cited or not. Every claim checked, and stronger sources found where the evidence is weak.
- A record you can keep. Annotated document, audit trail and exports, in minutes.
- Swiss and private. Data residency in Switzerland, processing in Switzerland and the EU, GDPR compliant.

CLAIM IN YOUR REPORTNeeds Revision
“Revenue grew 12% in 2025.”
What the source says
“Reported sales increased by 8.4%. Organic growth, excluding currency and acquisitions, was 12%.”
Cited annual report, page 14
The 12% is organic growth. Reported revenue grew 8.4%.

Six things that go wrong in reports.
Each one with the claim, the passage Velydian reads, and the verdict. Examples for illustration.
Organic read as reported
“Revenue grew 12% in 2025.”
“Reported sales increased by 8.4%. Organic growth was 12%.”Needs Revision
The 12% is organic growth.
A figure re-keyed wrong
“Net debt fell to CHF 412 million.”
“Net debt: CHF 421 million.”Needs Revision
Two digits swapped between the note and the summary.
A ratio that does not compute
“The operating margin was 18.5%.”
Operating profit 212; revenue 1,276. Recomputed margin: 16.6%.Not Supported
The stated margin does not follow from the figures in the same statements.
A forecast quoted as a result
“Margins reached 20% in 2025.”
“We target a margin of 20% by 2025.”Not Supported
The source states a target, not an outcome.
The wrong period
“Free cash flow doubled year on year.”
“Free cash flow, H1: 96 (H1 prior year: 48).”Needs Revision
Half-year figures, presented as the full year.
A figure from the right document
“The order backlog stood at CHF 2.3 billion.”
“Order backlog at year end: CHF 2.3 billion.”Supported
Matches the annual report, with the passage kept for the file.
Not another fact checker
Not just right or wrong. Supported or not.
Velydian checks the figures. It also weighs what a report does with them: the explanation it gives and how strongly it states it. A number can be right and the sentence around it can still mislead the board.
One claim, three levels · illustration
“Our cost programme lifted the operating margin to 16.6%.”Needs RevisionSource: the company’s own annual report. Example for illustration.
- Level 1
Facts
Figures, dates, periods and quotations, checked against what the statements actually say.
Does the note say CHF 412 million or CHF 421 million?
Velydian findsSupportedThe 16.6% margin is in the statements.A figure check stops here: correct. - Level 2
Interpretation
Whether a conclusion follows from the figures: organic growth read as reported, a one-off read as a trend, a target read as a result.
Did the cost programme do this, or something else?
Velydian findsStretchedMost of the gain came from a one-off property sale booked in operating profit, not from the cost programme. - Level 3
Judgement
Whether the statement is as strong as its evidence: the good year cited, the lowered guidance in the same report left out.
Is this the whole picture the board should see?
Velydian findsOverstatedThe sentence credits a lasting programme; the same report lowers next year’s margin guidance. Presented as the programme’s result, the margin needs that context.Verdict: Needs Revision. The figure is right; the explanation reaches further than the report allows.
How it works
Upload the report. Every figure comes back with its evidence.
PDF, Word, text or Markdown, or paste it in. Velydian finds each figure and statement and checks it in one of three ways.
Figures with no source
Velydian searches company reports and filings published online, official statistics and the wider web, keeps the strongest sources and checks the figure against them.
Against your own files
Attach the audited statements, last quarter’s board pack or the auditor’s report, and every statement is checked against them. You see the price before it starts.
Three layers of checking
Surface tools check that a source exists. Velydian reads it.
Layer 1
Distortions and inaccuracies
Figures that drift, periods that shift, a basis quietly changed.
A half-year figure presented as the full year.
Layer 2
Bias and fabrication
Selective citation, a figure the cited report does not contain, and what was left out.
The upgraded forecast is cited; the profit warning in the same filing is not.
Layer 3
Stronger sources
When a figure rests on a weak source, Velydian looks for a more authoritative one.
A figure quoted from a news article is flagged, with the company’s own filing offered instead.
One verdict per claim
Four verdicts, each with its evidence.
Supported
The statements or filings checked back the figure as written.
Needs Revision
Close, but a digit, the period or the basis (organic or reported, adjusted or reported) does not match.
Not Supported
The documents checked do not back the figure, or say something different.
Unverifiable
No document could be read or found that settles it, for example a figure from an internal file you did not attach.
Open any verdict to see the passage and the reasoning behind it. Correct a figure or swap a source and it is checked again. Velydian weighs the evidence; your team decides what to change.

How we test it

Questions
Before your first report.
Can it check against our own statements, not public ones?
Yes. Attach your own files and every statement is checked against them.
Does it recompute figures?
Where a stated figure can be derived from figures in the same document, such as a margin or a growth rate, Velydian checks that it follows.
Does it replace our auditors or reviewers?
No. It does the tracing: finding and reading the document behind each figure. Your reviewers keep the judgement, with the evidence laid out for them.
What if a figure comes from an internal system?
Attach the document it comes from, as PDF, Word or text, and the figure is checked against it. If no document settles it, the verdict says Unverifiable instead of guessing.
Where do the sources come from?
Three places. The sources your document cites; sources Velydian finds on official websites, research databases and the wider web for claims without a citation; or your own files, if you attach them.
What happens to my document?
When you run a check, your document’s text is sent over an encrypted connection to our servers and AI services in Switzerland and the EU. To find evidence, short search queries built from your claims are sent to web and scholarly search services. Your document’s content and results are deleted automatically about 24 hours after your check; source links and summary data are kept.
Which languages does it check?
English is measured and in daily use. German and French are in validation.
Can I rely on Velydian as my only check?
Velydian supports human review. It shows the evidence behind every verdict so you can decide. In high-stakes work, expert judgement stays essential.
