Adversarial Process
Timeline Builder
The Timeline Builder creates visual, source-linked chronologies from your evidence. Every entry on the timeline links back to the original document. Gaps in the record are highlighted. Patterns — like escalation before court dates or coordinated actions — become visible. Exports to formats courts accept.
Use case: When the other side says that never happened — you show them when it happened, in order, with sources.
Audience: Litigants who need to prove a sequence of events to a court or investigator.
Access note: read access is public; execution, private distribution, or heavier inference-backed runs may still depend on membership, verification, and profile completion.
How it works
What this tool needs
Evidence-backed dates and short descriptions. If you used the Evidence Organizer, you can pull from that index; if not, a simple spreadsheet with Date / What happened / Source file is enough to start.
What you upload or prepare
Either connect an organized evidence export or type events in order, one row at a time, with the file name or link that proves each entry.
What runs automatically
Sorts events chronologically, flags possible date conflicts, and can highlight long gaps where you have no documents.
What you review manually
Read every date and caption for mistakes, drop duplicate entries, and add context a judge would need (“why this matters”).
What you get at the end
A printable timeline and a table you can label as an exhibit draft—still requiring your review and any lawyer sign-off before filing.
When to stop and ask for help
Stop if dates contradict sworn statements you do not understand, if you are near a filing deadline, or if you need help authenticating messages—those are legal questions, not software fixes.
What you need
- A list of events you believe happened, each tied to a source (email, filing, message, photo metadata, etc.)
- Rough dates—even “early March 2024” can be refined as you go
- The same honesty about distribution as other listed tools: no public binary linked here yet
Example output
- A color-coded visual timeline of events
- A detailed table listing dates, events, and source document links
- A 'Gap Analysis' report showing where evidence is missing
Timeline exhibit (illustrative excerpt) ---------------------------------------- Date | Event (short) | Source ------------+----------------------------+--------------------------- 2024-03-01 | Notice of meeting sent | email-thread-202403.pdf 2024-03-12 | Meeting occurred (claimed) | calendar-screenshot.png 2024-03-18 | Follow-up denial | sms-export.txt Gap note: No document between 03-12 and 03-18 — flag for review.
Limits and distribution
- No public download or hosted runner is linked from this site yet—see distribution note below.
- Requires consistent date formatting in source files for best results
- Best used for cases spanning months or years, not decades
- Visual complexity increases with more than 100 events per timeline
- Desktop App
- Browser Interface (Coming Soon)
Same distribution model as the Evidence Organizer: builds are not published from this page. Request access through Join or Community if you need the software.
