FOR DETECTIVE AGENCIES

Seeking design partners

Investigation
materials,
client-ready.

We are designing a workflow that organizes video, audio, photos, and field notes into source-linked report drafts and client delivery materials.

This is not a finished product. We are shaping it through interviews with working agencies.

THE IDEA

Spend less time retyping and more time verifying.

After fieldwork, teams still need to reconcile footage, audio, photos, and time notes into a readable factual report.

We want to support that repetitive work while making every statement easier to trace back to its source.

The model assumes an investigator verifies the facts, language, and selected material, then edits and approves the delivery—not that raw AI output goes to a client.

POSSIBLE DELIVERABLES

A package designed around your workflow.

These are candidates, not fixed features. The useful format will be decided with design partners.

01

Editable investigation-report draft

A draft that organizes times, observed activity, and items to confirm in the agency’s preferred format.

02

Timeline and source index

References to original filenames and timecodes so reviewers can return to the supporting material.

03

Photo, video, and audio index

Candidate stills, video segments, and transcript drafts shown with their review status.

04

Client delivery folder plan

A clear structure for the report, source index, approved media, and outstanding review items.

HUMAN APPROVAL

AI drafts; investigators remain responsible for the final work.

A useful production workflow needs a clear boundary between automation and professional judgment.

POTENTIAL AI SUPPORT

Organize, reconcile, draft

  • Draft audio and video transcripts
  • Sort observations into chronological order
  • Link original filenames and timecodes
  • Format text and tables to an agency template
  • Flag possible missing or conflicting information

ALWAYS THE AGENCY

Verify, judge, approve

  • Verify dates, people, places, and observed activity
  • Decide which material and language to include
  • Assess evidence and obtain legal guidance when needed
  • Check alignment with the client goal and contract
  • Edit, approve, and deliver the final version

This concept does not guarantee evidentiary value or legal suitability. The agency—and legal professionals when appropriate—decides the final content and use.

DESIGN PARTNER INTERVIEW

First, show us how the work is done today.

We start with the real delivery workflow, review criteria, and case-to-case differences before deciding which features to build.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO LEARN

  • The real workflow from field notes to a completed report
  • How photos, video, and audio are selected and checked against the narrative
  • How reports and delivery packages vary by case and client goal
  • The review steps that prevent errors and who gives final approval

CO-DEVELOPMENT

How co-development works

  1. 1

    Workflow interview

    Around 30 minutes on how reports and delivery packages are made today and which steps create the most work.

  2. 2

    Agree on requirements and a prototype

    Define useful outputs, review steps, and how materials would be handled before any prototype work begins.

  3. 3

    Review and improve

    Evaluate source traceability, errors, correction time, and fit with real practice, then refine the next prototype.

QUESTIONS

Before you contact us

Is this service available now?

No. It is in co-development. We are not promising finished features or specific results.

Will AI finish the report?

AI would support organization and drafting. The agency must verify, edit, judge, and approve every final delivery.

What should the first email include?

Your agency name, main investigation areas, and the delivery step that takes time. Do not send case materials.

Has pricing been decided?

No. We first need to understand useful features, case volume, and review requirements.
