# Unsupervised Finder — tools that shaped CodeVetter

> Canonical page: https://codevetter.com/inspiration/unsupervised-finder

Search a space of possible explanations before asking an agent to tell a story.

## What we admire

Finder searches data for ranked patterns and gives an analyst evidence to investigate. The idea transfers well beyond analytics: a verifier can systematically surface contradictory claims, stale tests, and risky combinations before an LLM chooses what to inspect.

## The principle that stayed

Candidate generation should be repeatable and caveated. A ranked pattern is an investigation lead, and its scale, source, and unanswered questions should travel with it.

## Where CodeVetter stands

Evidence Pattern Search explicitly borrows this search-before-prose principle for changed files, sessions, command output, and prior findings. CodeVetter does not analyze customer warehouse data or run Finder.
