Investigation intelligence
RECONSTRUCT THE CASE.
PRESERVE THE PROOF.
IQAI TRACE reconstructs the people, organizations, money, authority, assets, places and events in an investigation across time—while preserving exactly what evidence supports every material relationship and what remains unknown.
TRACE brings scattered public and authorized records into one governed case picture. It shows who is connected, how reported money moved, who held authority, where and when events occurred, and what documents support each conclusion.
Every material relationship can be opened to inspect its underlying source. When the available evidence does not establish an answer, TRACE shows the gap instead of allowing AI to turn uncertainty into certainty.
Investigative dimensions
Supporting outputs
The investigative problem
An investigation rarely arrives as one coherent picture.
Identity records, financial information, organizational roles, locations, events, assets and supporting documents are often distributed across disconnected sources.
Search tools can return fragments. Graphs can show connections. AI can summarize the material. But none of those things alone establishes what a relationship means, when it existed or what evidence proves it.
TRACE is designed to preserve those distinctions while reconstructing the wider case.
One governed case picture
One evidence spine. Every view stays connected.
TRACE does not maintain separate versions of the truth for people, money, geography or time. Each investigative view is a synchronized projection of the same accepted evidence.
WHO
Resolve people and organizations without silently merging identities. Preserve identifiers, names, roles and the evidence supporting each resolution.
MONEY
Reconstruct reported money in and money out while retaining source direction, reporting period, counterparties and evidence strength.
AUTHORITY
Distinguish organizational role, ownership, control, financial administration, signing authority, approval and receipt.
WHERE
Connect people, organizations, assets and events to place while preserving what kind of location was reported, when it applied and what evidence supports it.
WHEN
Separate event time, observation time, publication time, ingestion time and reporting-period time so the investigation can be reconstructed across history.
ASSETS
Separate observations and potential asset connections from ownership or control that has been authoritatively established.
Evidence inspection
Open the relationship. Inspect the record.
Every material assertion should remain traceable to its source, record and provenance.
TRACE preserves typed relationships instead of unexplained lines between names. An investigator can examine what the relationship means, which record supports it, when it applied and whether it has been accepted into the case picture.
The intelligence layer can analyze accepted evidence. It does not own, manufacture or rewrite that evidence.
Evidence states
Uncertainty remains visible.
TRACE keeps direct facts, analytical conclusions, allegations, investigative propositions and unresolved questions separate.
DOCUMENTED
The source directly establishes the fact.
SUPPORTED
Accepted evidence supports the conclusion, but it is not a direct statement from one authoritative source.
ALLEGED
A source makes a claim that has not yet been independently established.
HYPOTHESIS
An investigative proposition requiring additional evidence.
UNKNOWN
The available evidence does not establish the answer.
Missing information is presented as an evidence gap—not converted into proof, concealment or suspicion.
Investigation workflow
From search to a defensible case picture.
Begin with a person, organization, identifier, address, place, case or record.
Determine which entity or subject the available records actually identify.
Bring WHO, MONEY, AUTHORITY, WHERE, WHEN and ASSETS into one synchronized picture.
Open any material relationship or conclusion and examine its supporting evidence.
See which questions remain unresolved and why.
Identify the record most likely to confirm, narrow or disprove the proposition.
Evidence gaps
Show what is missing—and what could resolve it.
A defensible investigation must show more than what appears to be known. TRACE records unresolved questions, missing documents and evidentiary limitations as part of the case.
Where possible, it identifies the next record required to move an issue from allegation, hypothesis or unknown toward a supported or documented state.
Product status
A proven evidence workflow expanding into a synchronized investigation workspace.
Working now
Canadian public-record investigation workflows supporting entity profiles, reported money in and money out, counterparty names, year-based review, exact source-record inspection and evidence-receipt lineage.
In development
A unified investigation workspace, expanded entity profiles, counterparty pivots, improved evidence inspection and synchronized WHERE and WHEN views.
Planned
Additional authoritative connectors, jurisdiction packs, reusable case workspaces and broader synchronized investigation views.
Built for serious investigative work
Where evidence must remain reviewable.
Investigative safeguards
Investigation support—not an automatic accusation engine.
Reconstruct the case without losing the evidence.
