Chronologies
Make your case timeline your strategic weapon
When you're juggling thousands of documents across years of events, you need more than a spreadsheet. You need an interactive chronology that connects every document, witness, and issue, turning overwhelming complexity into clear narrative power.

Your workflow frustrations are more common than you think
Version control
When you need multiple stakeholders to help build your timeline of events, keeping track of changes while identifying the most up-to-date version in real time becomes a headache for you and your team.
Product limitations
If you create a chronology in Word or Excel, it’s not easy to annotate attached documents, it’s time consuming to manually hyperlink to them and it’s difficult to enable full collaboration with stakeholders.
Manual input
Creating master and issue based chronologies, as well as witness bundles, require significant manual effort. This also prevents senior team members from having complete oversight over chronology preparation.

Transform your scattered timeline into case-winning clarity
A single source of truth for increased confidence
When multiple stakeholders are working in versions of a chronology built in Word or Excel, it’s hard to know for sure if you’re working in the right version or the same version, let alone see what others are changing. Our chronology software allows your team to collaborate in real time, ensuring you and your stakeholders stay on the same page.
Full oversight to keep your timeline on track
It’s no secret that building chronologies in Word or Excel is time-consuming. But timelines can blow out even further and send investigations off track if potential issues are not addressed from the start. Our dedicated chronology software reduces this risk, giving senior team members full oversight of the chronology in real time.

Easily search and link documents for ease of access
Imagine accessing a chronology where you can quickly search across key events and supporting documents using hyperlinks. This may seem next to impossible in Word or Excel, but our dedicated software makes it a reality. Link facts to people, documents and issues then export hyperlinked spreadsheets quickly and easily.
Build a stronger narrative for your case
The stronger your chronology, the stronger your case. Add weight to your narrative with master and issue-based chronologies that step out the facts in greater detail. Our chronology software automatically creates witness bundles allowing you to easily view all documents linked to a witness so you don’t miss a thing.
