Reckoner is the AI engine that finds Fraud, Waste, and Abuse in Australian government spending — and won’t stop until wasting your money is political suicide.
Total government spending on consultants and contractors reached $21.4 billion in 2023-24. Fifteen firms captured 62% of all consulting spend, and $7.8 billion in contracts lacked evidence of skills transfer.
The NDIA detected only $142 million of an estimated $3.4 billion in suspicious NDIS claims. Automated fraud controls were absent, and only 12% of high-risk claims were reviewed before payment.
ANAO found 43% of procurements over $200,000 used limited tender without adequate justification. Procurement plans were missing for 67% of high-value contracts.
AusTender contracts, ANAO audits, budget estimates, procurement records. Reckoner pulls it all, structures it, and watches for anomalies 24/7.
AI cross-references spending against benchmarks, flags no-tender contracts, detects cost overruns, and calculates exactly how much was wasted.
Findings are published with full source links, dollar breakdowns, and one-click sharing. Every share makes it harder for waste to hide.
Reckoner runs on public data and community support. Your contribution keeps the AI running, the data flowing, and the findings coming.
When Reckoner uncovers waste, you'll be able to fund direct action — legal challenges, NACC complaints, public campaigns. The findings become the ammunition. Your contribution becomes the firepower.
