From case file to findings.
A secure, structured, AI-assisted pipeline — from first submission to legal-ready report.
Six stages, one direction.
Hover or tap any stage to read its summary. Full detail follows below.
Trial transcripts, exhibits, and case files are securely intaken for review.
What happens at each step
Court Records Intake
Trial transcripts, exhibits, charging documents, appellate filings, and supporting evidence are intaken through the secure WCI Portal. Submitters identify case parties, jurisdiction, and the post-conviction stage. Materials are encrypted in transit and at rest; access is scoped to the reviewers assigned to the case.
OCR Digitization
Paper and scanned records — many of them decades old — are converted into machine-readable text through a multi-pass OCR pipeline. Pages are deskewed, despeckled, and reconstructed so that downstream extraction operates against clean source text rather than image artifacts.
Structured Data Extraction
Witnesses, dates, forensic methods, lab identifiers, expert credentials, and judicial rulings are pulled into structured fields. This produces a queryable case map — the substrate every later stage of analysis operates on.
AI-Assisted Red-Flag Detection
The structured case is checked for patterns associated with unreliable testimony or discredited methodology: bite-mark and microscopic hair comparison, legacy fire investigation, contested DNA interpretation, chain-of-custody gaps, jailhouse-informant signals, and undisclosed exculpatory material. AI surfaces patterns. It does not decide guilt.
Forensic Reliability Scoring
Each flag is scored for reliability concern against current scientific standards and against WCI's internal database of known issues. Scoring prioritizes which findings warrant the most attention from human reviewers — and which deserve immediate escalation.
Structured Report for Legal Review
Findings are compiled into a structured WCI Report — citations, source pages, scored flags, and referrals to legal resources in the relevant jurisdiction. The report is intended as an analytical foundation for attorneys, experts, and innocence organizations to interrogate and build on.
The review doesn't stop at the report
Accepted cases are enrolled in the Integrity Tracker — continuous monitoring of forensic analysts, expert witnesses, and law enforcement connected to the case.
