Mietwucher-Check für Mieter:innen
Case Study #1
2024/25
Mietwucher-Check

Mietwucher-Check

After the end of the coalition in November 2024, the party Die Linke is focusing on rent as one of its key campaign topics. With the "Mietwucher-Check", we have created a useful tool that allows users to identify and report excessive rents directly.

Under Whose Command?

We helped uncover how culpability of alleged human rights violations travels up military chains of command, using graph analysis, logic-based rules, time-based and spatial queries. Sourced from tens of thousands of rows of archived research data, we created these databases in a close loop with the research team.

Syrian Archive
Case Study #3

Syrian Archive

Syrian Archive: Safeguarding Evidence of War Crimes through Social Media

Scraping and archiving of thousands of hours of video footage that was disappearing off of social media platforms. Evidentiary methods were used to create collections and chains of custody for use in international courts.

Success Stories

With a strong track record of innovation, our founders – Niko and Tilman – have consistently delivered work that captures media attention and makes lasting difference.

Niko’s technical work helped launch Syrian Archive, setting new standards in digital human rights. Tilman’s involvement with Peng Collective sparked influential media conversations.

Recently, our Mietwucher-Check has been featured in prominent outlets such as ZEIT ONLINE, Süddeutsche and rbb24. Meanwhile, our technical analysis of Myanmar’s military operations – covered in The Guardian, AP, and Al Jazeera – showcases our commitment to cutting-edge research and data-driven storytelling.
