Investigations today move fast and the data gathered as part of a case move even faster. Analysts and investigators are expected to connect thousands of pieces of data across communications, files, and platforms, all while maintaining the context of the case should it go to trial. With Explore 25.3, Paliscope takes another leap forward in simplifying that complexity by giving investigators the tools to dig deeper into the data and reveal non-obvious connections through several new enhancements.
Cards: Bringing Order to Chaos
Information is only as powerful as your ability to organize it. That’s why Paliscope Explore 25.3 introduces Cards. This revolutionary capability is a new way to structure and visualize information and intelligence. Each Card represents a key entity in a case, like a person, organization, phone, or vehicle, and captures its relationships, references, and attributes in one consistent format.
Whether you’re mapping an organization’s hierarchy, building a suspect’s network, or connecting communications to locations and people, Cards bring insights to relationships in an investigation. You can create custom card types for your investigation, link them directly to evidence or reports, and use them as the foundation for link charts, maps, and timelines to document data in a case. Cards helps to turn scattered information and intelligence into a structured and documented knowledge base you can use to visualize a case and share it with other investigators or analysts.
Meet Aiden: Your Virtual Co-Analyst
Artificial intelligence (AI) should never replace good old investigative work. AI should be used to help find non-obvious relationships between the data, saving time and investigative legwork. It can also bring key pieces of information gathered during the investigation to the surface for further review early on in an investigation. To help reduce the time to find those key relationships and pieces of information, enter Aiden – Explore’s new virtual co-analyst. Aiden helps analysts and investigators summarize long threads, uncover hidden connections across data sets and help you ensure you haven’t overlooked a critical piece of information that could make or break a case. Aiden can point you in the right direction, showing you where to spend your investigative time. Think of Aiden like a second set of eyes, helping to guide you to important information for further investigation.
Working across both structured and unstructured data, Aiden identifies relationships, patterns, and trends that may otherwise go unnoticed, especially when working with large volumes of voice notes, text messages, open-source information and other types of digital data in a case. From quickly summarizing chat logs to detecting behavioral shifts in digital data, Aiden helps investigators work better in an organized and documented matter within Explore’s secure platform.
Time and Pattern: Seeing the Whole Picture
The timing of an event often plays a critical role in investigations. Explore 25.3 now includes a comprehensive Timeline Viewer, giving you a complete view of when all communications, locations, files, and intelligence, unified across time. This helps investigators filter, sort, and search through every event in an intuitive, grid-based visualization. By visually seeing when events occurred, investigators can piece together time-based relationships in a case.
For deeper behavioral insight, the new Pattern of Life filtering lets you isolate activity by hour, day, or week, revealing habits and rhythms that tell the real story behind the data. This new enhancement is meant to show you anomalies in activities, which can often isolate a change in behavior that may be critical in a case. Whether you’re tracking a suspect’s movements or identifying when a key phone goes silent, these tools turn time into a powerful layer of intelligence.
Smarter Imports, Smoother Workflow
Behind the scenes, Explore 25.3 also delivers improvements to imports, communications, and the user interface. From multilanguage OCR and XRY support to automatic pixelation of disturbing material, every update is built around one goal: letting investigators and analysts stay focused on analysis, not searching and organizing data.
A More Capable Explore Helps Create a More Thorough Investigation With Explore 25.3, Paliscope continues to bridge the gap between human investigative work and digital information. Cards give structure, Aiden brings added focus and intelligence, and the Time Viewer reveals temporal patterns hidden in plain sight. Using Explore, along with Paliscope Build, investigators now have the ability to document and analyze multiple data sources together, then build the case from those sources. Together, these enhancements create more thorough investigations, saving time and directing the investigative focus to the right leads.
No need to worry about evidence documentation and report formatting. Paliscope Build automates all that - keeping your cases structured, secure and easy to hand over.
