On-site inspections are searches conducted by competition authorities to collect evidence of anti-competitive behaviours. Traditional methods are not enough to detect evidence of collusive actions due to their secret nature, so on-site inspections are an effective tool. The most common type of evidence collected in on-site inspections are digital ones, such as emails, personal message applications, corporate documents, and cloud storage systems. The amount of data collected in on-site inspections can exceed human-powered systems’ capacity, so authorities must use advanced technology to process the data.
