One case file. Not a universe of entities.

Build the case,
not the map.

CaseWeb holds a single investigation at a time — one timeline, one relationship graph, both views of the exact same case file. Every entity, connection, and dated event carries a piece of evidence: a document, a quote, a record. Your case, your timeline, your graph, all evidence-linked.

How it works

Three steps. One case file.

Start a case file

Name the investigation and set its scope. CaseWeb creates one contained file for it — not a shared entity universe with every other case you've ever touched.

Add entities, events, and evidence as you research

Drop in a person, organization, or place. Log a dated event. Attach the document, quote, or record that backs it up. Nothing goes in without a source.

CaseWeb keeps timeline and graph in sync

Add a connection in the graph and it appears on the timeline if it's dated. Add an event and it appears in the graph if it touches an entity. One case file, two synchronized views.

Case examples

Three different investigations. Same evidence-linked structure.

Each case below is its own contained file — a fragment of its graph, a fragment of its timeline, one cited piece of evidence.

Procurement fraud

A city contract split into sequential purchase orders to stay under the competitive-bidding threshold.

Cited: PO #4471 & #4472, filed 11 days apart, same vendor

Conflict of interest

A planning-commission chair voting on a rezoning request tied to a relative's development firm.

Cited: Family court record naming shared address

Pattern of neglect

Repeated safety complaints at a care facility across three inspection cycles with no corrective action logged.

Cited: Inspection reports, Jan / May / Sept, same cited violation

Trust & methodology

If it's in the case file, it's sourced.

CaseWeb is built on ProofCore's evidence infrastructure — the same discipline that underlies TRUTHLINE. Nothing enters a case without a citation attached.

Evidence required, not optional

Every node, edge, and timeline event needs an attached document, quote, or record before it can be saved to the case file. Unsourced claims stay in your notes, not your case.

Private by default

Case files stay private to you and your team until you choose to publish. Nothing is discoverable, shared, or indexed before a reporter decides it's ready.

Export & citation support

Publish a case as a linked timeline, an annotated graph, or a citation list with every source attached — ready for an editor, an FOI packet, or a public record.

Who it's for

Built for people who have to defend every claim they publish.

Investigative reporters

Track a single long-running investigation from tip to publication without losing which fact came from which source.

Local newsroom teams

Hand a case file to a colleague mid-investigation. The timeline, the graph, and the evidence travel together.

Accountability researchers

Build a defensible record of one specific pattern — a contract, a vote, a facility — with citations ready for a report or a filing.
