After collection, it serializes this data into an \u0026quot;evidence bundle\u0026quot; and routes it through the OpenRouter API to AI models - specifically Anthropic’s Claude, Moonshot AI’s Kimi, or Google’s Gemini - to generate a prioritized dossier on the victim, including a \u0026quot;WHAT THEY'RE WORTH\u0026quot; monetization assessment.
