How it works
Evidence Companion is a secure documentation platform. You build a record. Grain by grain. At whatever pace you need.
A case is a container for everything related to one situation — one perpetrator, one institution, one ongoing pattern. Give it a name only you will see. You can have multiple cases.
This takes about 30 seconds.
An incident is a specific event — a date, a description, a severity. You can log incidents one at a time, or start with the most recent and work backward. Approximate dates are fine. You can always fill in detail later.
Each incident gets its own number in your record, making it easy to reference when talking to an attorney or investigator.
Screenshots. Photos. Audio recordings. Videos. PDF exports of email threads. Police reports. Medical records. Any file up to any size can be attached to an incident, kept as a background document, or logged as part of an ongoing observation.
You can annotate each file — explaining what it is, why it matters, what the person reviewing it should know.
The companion is a trauma-informed AI guide that helps you put your experience into words. It asks the questions that matter to a legal record — not to challenge you, but to help you capture what gets lost when memory is under pressure.
Your raw testimony is always preserved, word for word. The companion may generate a summary — but it stays clearly labeled, and you can edit or reject it. Your original words are never changed.
When you decide to share your record — with an attorney, a DA, a detective, an advocate — you have options. You can export a structured ZIP file. You can send it directly to a Google Drive folder. Or you can generate a secure read-only link that expires on a date you choose.
The person reviewing it gets an organized case file — numbered incidents, labeled evidence, layered by what's documented versus what's corroborable versus what's your account alone. They can leave notes. They cannot edit your record.
When you generate a case summary for a DA or attorney, Evidence Companion automatically classifies each incident into one of three layers. This helps investigators triage before they read — and it helps you see your record clearly.
Layer 1 — Documented Evidence
An attached file, recording, or record exists independently of your account. A screenshot. A video. A medical record. This is the strongest layer.
Layer 2 — Corroboratable Event
Something that happened and could have been observed — even if it wasn't captured. A neighbor could have seen it. A phone record could confirm the call. Effort could verify it.
Layer 3 — Reported Experience
An internal experience, perception, or interpretation — real to you, but without a clear external path to verification. These are preserved, clearly labeled, and not included in pattern analysis.
This distinction protects you. A record that is honest about what it can and cannot prove is taken more seriously than one that treats everything as equivalent.
Your record is visible only to you until you choose to share it. There is no search directory. No shared database. No one reviewing your content. Your files are encrypted at rest and in transit.
If you share a link with an attorney or investigator, you can revoke it at any time. Access expires automatically on the date you set.
Your record belongs to you. It exists to serve you.
You don't need everything ready. Just start.
