Storyboard Domain

Overview#

The Storyboard domain provides an investigative visual storytelling tool for composing narrative timelines from evidence items. It enables investigators to create compelling visual presentations of case facts, organize evidence into narrative sequences, generate AI-powered narratives, and export professional reports for court presentations or operational briefings.

Key Features#

• Visual Storytelling - Build visual narrative timelines by arranging evidence cards, milestone markers, and connection arrows on an interactive canvas to tell the story of an investigation.

• Evidence Card Management - Create, organize, and annotate evidence cards that represent key facts, documents, and findings within the narrative, with drag-and-drop arrangement.

• Milestone Markers - Define significant events and decision points along the narrative timeline to highlight critical moments in the investigation.

• AI Narrative Generation - Generate written narratives from arranged evidence cards using AI-powered analysis that synthesizes evidence into coherent, professional prose.

• Export Capabilities - Export completed storyboards as professional reports suitable for court presentations, executive briefings, and case documentation.

• Evidence Library Integration - Browse and pull evidence items directly from the investigation evidence library into the storyboard canvas without leaving the composition environment.

• Connection Visualization - Draw connection arrows between evidence cards to illustrate relationships, sequences, and causal links between facts and findings.

Use Cases#

• Court Presentations - Build compelling visual narratives that present complex investigation findings in a clear, chronological format suitable for legal proceedings.

• Executive Briefings - Create concise visual summaries of investigation progress and findings for leadership and stakeholder updates.

• Case Documentation - Organize and document the narrative arc of an investigation for case files and institutional knowledge preservation.

• Collaborative Analysis - Work with team members to arrange and discuss evidence in a visual format that surfaces patterns and gaps in the investigation narrative.

Integration#

The Storyboard domain connects with investigative workflows across the platform:

• Evidence Management - Pull evidence items directly into storyboard compositions
• Investigation Management - Storyboards are linked to their parent investigations
• AI Services - Narrative generation leverages AI-powered analysis
• Reporting - Exported storyboards complement standard investigation reports
