About

Key Facts

  • ROC states its algorithm searched roughly 64 times faster than the mean of the top five vendors.
  • It reports a first-place rank-1 result on the Extended Feature Set subset of the FBI-provided solved dataset.
  • Testing used FBI and Department of Defense investigative datasets across a field of 22 vendors.

Card Text

Search latency and match accuracy are reported separately in NIST evaluations, and a lead in one implies nothing about the other. Speed claims are also dataset-specific, so a 64-fold margin describes these test conditions rather than general throughput.
