What we hear from private-sector investigation teams
01
Managing cross-border litigation and investigations across fragmented tools - e-discovery, financial records, OSINT, digital evidence - without a unified system.
02
Ensuring evidence and analysis remain defensible and admissible - chain-of-custody, explainability of AI-assisted findings.
03
Coordinating multi-jurisdiction teams and external investigators or experts securely.
04
Reducing time and cost on manual evidence handling and transcription in complex matters.
A modern alternative to legacy e-discovery
Redline is a specialized, ethical and independent platform built for legally defensible investigations - not a general-purpose analytical tool. Case management, financial analytics, digital evidence, OSINT and audiovisual material live in one environment.
Defensible by design
Chain-of-custody suitable for international tribunals and court proceedings.
Explainable AI analytics
Forensic AI that surfaces hidden patterns while working transparently.
Software and services

Case studies

How a case runs
Nine stages, four phases, one connected record
Every case follows the same arc: set it up, collect material, analyse it, and present what you found. Each step links to the one before it.
01 — Set up
Case profile & violations
Terms of reference: aims, phases, lines of inquiry and hypotheses. Register the alleged violations you set out to prove, each with statute, severity and status.
02 — Collect
Materials
Open, closed and exhibit material. Create records by hand, import from file or mass-upload documents, with sensitivity, sources and collectors recorded at intake.
03 — Analyse
Doc Review, facts & entities
Select a passage and turn it into a Fact, an Entity or a Link without leaving the page. Combine facts into conclusions. A full audit trail records who did what and when.
04 — Present
Charts & reports
Network charts drawn from your entities and links. Reports written inside the case, next to the evidence, and exported to a formal case record.
The golden thread
Every finding traces back to its source
A passage in a document becomes a fact. Facts combine into a conclusion. Entities and their links form a chart. Violations gather it all into a provable allegation, ready to be written up as a report. A reviewer can follow any conclusion back to the exact line of the document that supports it.
