Public investigations

Investigate in the open.

Poliscope turns complex public stories into visual investigation boards. Explore the people, organisations, claims, events, and evidence—and see what is supported, contested, or still missing.

01 · Question

Start with what is unknown

Every investigation is organised around a governing question that evidence could answer.

02 · Connect

See how the story fits together

Follow the links between people, organisations, events, claims, places, and sources.

03 · Examine

Inspect the evidence

Open the cards behind an assessment and distinguish support, contradiction, and uncertainty.

04 · Revisit

See what changed

Numbered public revisions show how the investigation develops as new evidence appears.

Rule 01

Show the receipts

Public cards preserve their source links and provenance. Private files and analyst notes never enter the public snapshot.

Rule 02

Separate claim from evidence

A board can show uncertainty, contradictions, and evidence gaps without turning them into settled conclusions.

Rule 03

Revise on the record

New evidence creates a new numbered revision. Earlier public revisions remain part of the board history.
