How it works

From raw records to a defensible dossier.

Three steps. Nothing leaves the case unless you publish it, and nothing is asserted without the excerpt behind it.

01

Add the record

Drag in PDFs, spreadsheets, images, transcripts and notes, or point CaseSignal at a public webpage. Page numbers, sheet names and row numbers are preserved as the record is indexed.

Build the case map

Claims, dated events and named parties are extracted from the excerpts themselves. Where two records state different values for the same thing, the difference is recorded rather than resolved.

Ingest

Start with the records you already have.

No template, no schema, no re-keying. CaseSignal reads what you have and keeps track of exactly where every sentence came from.

  • Upload files

    Twenty-five megabytes per record, validated by both extension and content type before anything is stored.

  • Add public webpages

    Fetched server-side with redirect and private-network protections, then reduced to readable text with its section headings intact.

  • Paste notes and transcripts

    Typed notes and pasted transcripts become first-class citable sources, with timecodes preserved where present.

  • Preserve exact source locations

    Every excerpt keeps its page, sheet, row, section or timecode — which is what makes a citation openable.

Capabilities

Built for investigations that require receipts.

Six surfaces over one indexed record set. Each is a different reading of the same evidence, and each carries its citations with it.

Claim ledger

Every checkable assertion the records make, with its status derived from the citations for and against it.

Source-backed answers

Ask the case a question and get an answer drawn only from its records, with every factual sentence cited. When the records do not settle it, it says so.

Verified timelines

Dated events with exact, estimated and conflicting dates distinguished — so a disputed date reads as disputed rather than as fact.

Discrepancy detection

Dates, amounts, counts, names, titles, locations, procedures, statuses and sequence, compared across records and described neutrally.

Dossier exports

A structured brief with its citation trail intact, exportable as Markdown or PDF, or publishable as a read-only evidence room.

Traceability

Every conclusion remains connected to its source.

Select any excerpt to open its full citation — the record, the exact location inside it, the verbatim passage, its relationship to the claim, and the confidence of the extraction.

Where records disagree

Differences, described neutrally.

CaseSignal reports that two records state different things. It does not tell you why, and it does not characterise the difference as an error, a discrepancy of intent, or wrongdoing.

How it reads

“These records appear inconsistent regarding the reported delivery date.”

What it never says

“This proves that the organization lied.”

Delivery date differs between records

Case copilot

Ask the case. Inspect the evidence.

The copilot answers from the case's own records and nothing else. Before an answer is shown, every citation it produced is checked against the excerpts that were actually retrieved — anything that does not resolve is removed.

  • Insufficient evidence is stated plainly: “The available case sources do not establish this.”
  • Conflicting records are surfaced as conflicts, with each side and its citation.
  • Any answer can be converted into a claim, carrying its citations with it.
Case copilotAnswers only from this case

Which records disagree about the delivery date?

The available sources conflict on this point.

The vendor proposal commits to delivery of all 240 units on September 10, 2024 S2 p. 4.

The committee minutes record delivery as scheduled for September 18, 2024, and record that no formal amendment was approved S4 p. 14.

The receiving report records the delivery arriving on September 21, 2024 S6 p. 1.

3 citations verified against the retrieved excerpts. Unverifiable citations are removed before an answer is shown.

Security and privacy

Private by default. Public only by decision.

Source material is sensitive, and the product is built on that assumption.

Private workspaces

Every case belongs to one organization. Access is verified on the server for each read and write, not just at the route.

Signed file access

Stored files are never publicly addressable. Reads are served through short-lived signed URLs or an authorized route that re-checks membership.

Human review controls

Claims and discrepancies carry an explicit review state. An analyst decision is recorded as such and is never overwritten by later analysis.

Export control

Briefs, evidence rooms and downloads are opt-in per item, and every export is written to the audit log.

Deletion tools

Delete a source, a case, or every case in the workspace. Deleting a source removes its excerpts and every citation to it.

Research assistance, not determinations

CaseSignal organises and cites records. It does not make legal conclusions or determinations about any person or organization.
