For investigation-team evaluation
Challenges to address
For an investigation-team evaluation, define the question and the information already available before discussing a tool. Explain what the team needs to examine and how the work would be reviewed. This page is not a claim of law-enforcement customers, access to non-public records, asset recovery, or evidentiary acceptance in any jurisdiction.
-
Separating a lead from a finding
Explain which information starts the inquiry and which assertions still need examination. Ask how a proposed output would distinguish observed relationships from interpretation.
- Starting from a wallet or transaction reference
- Distinguishing observations from interpretation
-
Keeping the inquiry in scope
Describe the activity, time period, and authorized information relevant to the evaluation. Identify what would be outside the intended inquiry.
- Following related fund movements
- Recording unknown or uncertain relationships
-
Preserving context across a handover
A different investigator or reviewer may need the original question, references, and unresolved points. Define the record your process requires.
- Transferring work to another authorized reviewer
These are illustrative scenarios to frame a discussion. No non-public data access, asset recovery, or evidentiary acceptance is claimed by this page.

For the evidence record
Evidence and chain of custody
Each item a reviewer relies on should carry its own source, timestamp, custody, and verification status. This illustrates the fields a chain-of-custody record might track.

No claim of legal status. No legal admissibility, immutability, or court acceptance is claimed for any record shown here. Confirm evidentiary and chain-of-custody requirements with your own legal and technical specialists before relying on an exported record.
From lead to report
Investigation timeline
A synchronized record of who did what, and when, from the first lead to the finished report. Each event carries a role, a timestamp, and enough context for a later reviewer to follow it.
Initial lead received
A wallet reference is received as the starting point for the inquiry.
Address added
The starting address is added to the inquiry and the authorized scope.
Transaction path expanded
Related transfers are traced outward from the starting address.
Entity reference reviewed
A referenced entity is checked against available source material.
Evidence pinned
A transaction and an attribution reference are marked for the evidence record.
Analyst note added
An observation is logged against the pinned evidence.
Reviewer assigned
A senior reviewer is assigned to the inquiry.
Finding documented
The reviewed conclusion, with its open questions, is written into the record.
Report generated
A report is prepared for authorized recipients.
Illustrative sequence with sample roles and timestamps.

Establish scope and starting evidence
Fix the boundary and the reference the inquiry starts from.
- 3
Trace relevant blockchain activity
Follow fund movements outward from the starting reference.
- 4
Review attribution and uncertainty
Weigh sourced attributions against possible and unverified links.
- 5
Preserve important evidence
Pin the transactions and references the record depends on.
- 6
Record findings and open questions
Write down the conclusion and what remains unresolved.
- 7
Hand over or prepare the review record
Assemble the record for the next reviewer or recipient.

Define an authorized sample inquiry
Use fictional or approved non-sensitive material to explain the question and intended scope. Do not submit active-case evidence through the public demo form.
- Keep in view · 02
Review available analysis in context
Ask for a demonstration that distinguishes observed information, interpretations, and limitations. No identity attribution or recovery result should be assumed.

Document findings and open questions
Describe how your team would record the analysis and route it through its own review procedures, including any further verification required.
Who carries the inquiry
Investigator handover
A case can pass between several people before it is closed. This grid illustrates how a lead investigator, a supporting analyst, a senior reviewer, an evidence officer, and an administrator might share assignments, notes, unresolved questions, evidence references, review status, and timestamps.
| Role | Assignments | Notes | Unresolved questions | Evidence references | Review status | Timestamps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lead investigator Owns the inquiry from the first lead onward. | Leads | Contributes | Contributes | Contributes | Contributes | |
| Supporting analyst Traces activity and logs observations. | Contributes | Leads | Contributes | Contributes | Contributes | |
| Senior reviewer Reviews the finding and signs off the record. | Contributes | Contributes | Leads | Leads | ||
| Evidence officer Pins and tracks the evidence record. | Contributes | Leads | Contributes | |||
| Administrator Manages accounts, access, and assignment. | Contributes | Leads |
Illustrative roles and ownership. The exact roles and permissions your organization needs are requirements to confirm, not a fixed feature set.
Evaluation objectives
Potential benefits to validate
These are intended outcomes for your evaluation, not measured product results. Compare any available demonstration with your own requirements before drawing a conclusion.
Clearer separation of observations and conclusions
Evaluate whether a reviewer can follow what the material shows and which interpretations need additional evidence.
More understandable handovers
Assess whether the next reviewer can reconstruct the inquiry from the proposed notes and references.
A more focused tool evaluation
Validate the fit against a specific investigation question. No recovery rate, identification outcome, or court acceptance is promised.

Before your demo
Questions from Law Enforcement
Can the platform recover stolen funds?
No recovery function or recovery outcome is claimed. Ask the team to distinguish available software from any separately confirmed service.
Are outputs accepted as evidence in court?
No evidentiary acceptance is promised. Any applicable assessment belongs to the responsible legal and investigative specialists.
Should I send case evidence with a demo request?
Use a high-level description and avoid sensitive evidence, credentials, or unnecessary personal information. Ask the team to confirm an appropriate channel before sharing case material.
