Overview#
Major organised crime investigations are not resolved in weeks. They accumulate evidence over years, span multiple jurisdictions, involve dozens of subjects, and require continuous coordination between agencies that each have their own systems, classification rules, and filing requirements. A detective leading a three-year organised crime task force needs more than a case file. They need an operational command center that keeps every thread visible, every deadline tracked, and every piece of evidence accessible to the right person at the right moment.
The Investigation Intelligence and Case Orchestration module serves exactly that function. Built for major crimes units, counter-terrorism operations, organised crime task forces, and corporate fraud investigations, it handles cases with thousands of entity relationships, multi-year timelines, and large evidence volumes while maintaining the structured, auditable workflows demanded by courts and regulators.
Key Features#
- Complex Case Management: Manages multi-year investigations with thousands of evidence items, witnesses, and documents across multiple jurisdictions with structured, auditable workflows.
- Entity Graph Analysis: Maps relationships across large-scale entity networks with automated entity resolution that connects the dots across seemingly unrelated cases.
- Automated Timeline Reconstruction: AI-powered chronology building resolves conflicting evidence and constructs accurate investigative timelines from diverse data sources.
- Cross-Case Correlation: Pattern-of-life analysis and modus operandi matching across case databases surface hidden connections between investigations.
- Multi-Agency Collaboration: Real-time collaboration with jurisdiction handoffs, chain of custody automation, and secure information sharing across organisational boundaries.
- Hypothesis Testing: Counterfactual analysis and scenario modelling enable investigators to evaluate and refine investigative theories against available evidence.
- Workflow Orchestration: Customisable playbooks with automated task routing, deadline management, and milestone tracking ensure consistent investigation methodology across the 21-stage configurable workflow engine.
- Evidence Intelligence: Automated evidence classification, relevance scoring, and gap analysis identify missing evidence and prioritize collection efforts.
- Predictive Analytics: Machine learning models forecast case outcomes, estimate resource requirements, and identify high-priority leads for investigator attention.
Use Cases#
- Organised Crime Investigation: Multi-year investigations mapping criminal networks across jurisdictions with entity resolution linking suspects, associates, and financial instruments across cases.
- Counter-Terrorism Operations: Intelligence-driven investigations correlating communications, travel patterns, financial flows, and associate networks to identify and disrupt threat networks.
- Corporate Fraud Investigation: Complex financial investigations tracing fund flows through layered corporate structures with automated timeline reconstruction and evidence compilation.
- Financial Intelligence Analysis: Cross-case pattern detection identifies systemic money laundering schemes, sanctions evasion networks, and fraud rings operating across multiple institutions.
- Prosecution Support: Court-ready evidence packages with complete chain of custody, timeline visualisations, and relationship maps support successful legal proceedings, including prosecution file preparation for Irish courts.
- Multi-Agency Task Forces: Coordinated investigations across law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions with secure information sharing and jurisdiction management.
Integration#
The Investigation Intelligence and Case Orchestration module integrates with the platform's entity resolution, evidence management, graph visualisation, and reporting systems. Real-time data flows connect case management workflows with transaction monitoring, blockchain analysis, and external intelligence sources. The module supports automated lead intake from alert systems, bidirectional synchronisation with partner agency platforms, and export of case packages for regulatory filing and legal proceedings.
Open Standards#
- OASIS STIX 2.1 / TAXII 2.1: Case and investigation entities are exported as STIX 2.1 bundles and the platform polls remote TAXII 2.1 collections to ingest external threat intelligence directly into active cases.
- OASIS CACAO v2.0: Investigation playbooks are imported, validated, and exported in the CACAO v2.0 JSON format, enabling interoperable sharing of machine-readable response and workflow procedures across agencies.
- OASIS OpenC2 v1.1: Automated response actions embedded within CACAO playbooks are executed against actuator endpoints using the OpenC2 v1.1 command language.
- MITRE ATT&CK: Attack patterns linked to cases carry native MITRE ATT&CK technique identifiers (e.g. T1003), and the tactic taxonomy is used when classifying adversary behaviour across investigations.
- RFC 3161 (Internet X.509 PKI Time-Stamp Protocol): Court-ready export packages are sealed with RFC 3161 trusted-timestamp tokens so the integrity and creation time of evidence packages can be verified independently.
- W3C SCXML / OMG BPMN 2.0: The 21-stage configurable investigation lifecycle is modelled as a W3C SCXML-compatible state machine, with the definition serialisable as XState v5 JSON and aligned to BPMN 2.0 process semantics.
- EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model): Case packages can be exported in the EDRM profile alongside PDF/A and STIX21 formats, supporting e-discovery workflows and litigation production requirements.
- ISO 3166-1 alpha-3: Jurisdiction and subject nationality fields across investigations use ISO 3166-1 three-letter country codes for interoperability with partner agency systems and regulatory filings.
