About Webhound
Webhound is a research engine for investigations without natural finish lines. The user chooses a report or structured dataset and sets a dollar budget that controls how much work the investigation can do. Webhound returns the result with inspectable claims, source URLs, and working documents.

Source Verification - Every output includes sources with links, ensuring transparency and traceability. The built-in Verifier agent checks data quality and citation accuracy automatically.

Hound 1.0
Budget-based research pricing: $1 buys about 15 minutes of research. Webhound keeps researching until it reaches the budget you set; raise the budget to follow more leads and test its first answer against more evidence.
- $1 budget (~15 minutes): research a narrow question
- $5 budget (~1 hour 15 minutes): investigate one clear question with citations
- $10 budget (~2 hours 30 minutes): compare more sources and follow disagreements
- $25 budget (~6 hours 15 minutes): cover a wide question and pursue buried details
