Research question to next action
Keep the objective, current status, next action, unresolved tasks, and research history visible so a difficult case does not disappear into a pile of tabs and notes.
A Genealogy Research Workspace for the Whole Investigation
Family tree software answers who is connected to whom. A research workspace has a different job: preserve the path from question to evidence to conclusion. ProofTrail is built around that investigative trail.
Evidence stays connected to context
Link documents, screenshots, records, transcriptions, source details, people, events, and findings instead of storing files without the reasoning that made them relevant.
DNA and documentary research in one case
Work with DNA matches and comparison metadata alongside traditional records, timelines, relationships, hypotheses, and written evidence.
A workspace that can become a client deliverable
Move from working notes to reviewed conclusions and professional reports without rebuilding the story of the case from scratch at the end.
