Encounter Timeline

In plain English.

An encounter timeline puts dated evidence in one sequence. Time zones, delayed uploads, and uncertain dates remain part of the record.

From a question
to a useful answer.

An illustrative workflow for your team. Select a step to follow the story.

Example workflow

Start with a real question.

A file timestamp seems inconsistent with a reported event.

A clearer next step.

Check the time source and ordinary explanations before treating the mismatch as a contradiction.

One handoff window is possible; a second requires timezone confirmation.

08:42 UTC

Original timestamp includes a UTC offset.

A location or time correlation does not, alone, establish identity, presence, control, or conduct.

How the review works

1Normalize

Resolve offsets, clock drift, and timestamp precision.

2Place

Map observations with uncertainty radii.

3Test

Check travel, device, and communication constraints.

4Explain

Show gaps and which timestamp would resolve them.
