Open a case. Drop in a document.
See how everything connects.

Investigate is the case workspace. Start a case on any topic — a person, an organisation, an event — and add the documents you already have. Argus reads each one, pulls out the people, organisations, bills and events it mentions, and links them to your case. The result is a picture of how everyone and everything connects, laid out as a graph you can move around and explore. When the case is ready, export it as a ready-to-share report.

Works with CoreInvestigate runs on the same shared entity graph that Core maintains — so every case opens against live data, not a separate copy. It is bought alongside Core, not on its own.

02 · Kinds of connection

The shapes a network can take.

Every link in the graph has a named kind — who sponsored what, who co-signed, who sits on which committee. Investigate shows them as filters, so you can hide the noise and surface only the connections that matter to your case. The list below is a starting set; every case can add its own.

02Co-signedA person added their name in support of a bill.

03 · What ships

The full specification.

Investigate is an add-on to Core — it depends on the shared entity graph and base records that Core maintains. Every case opens against that live graph.

Case workspace
A visual board for any topic. Open cases, drag and group what you find, and add your own notes.
The shared graph
A living record of legislators, bills, organisations, places and how they connect — scoped to the jurisdictions and topics you watch. Your case opens against the live record, not a frozen copy.
Read a document
Upload PDFs, web pages or transcripts; Argus pulls out the people, organisations, bills and events it mentions and links them to your case. Review before you keep them.
Case tabs
Overview · Summary · Network · Timeline · Notes · Findings · Documents.Seven tabs per case.
Network views
15+ kinds of connection, shown and filterable. Spread out, top-down or by location.
Export a report
A clean, ready-to-share report — network picture, timeline, notes and the documents behind it. Versioned each time you export.
Case tags
Your own tags per case, for keeping things organised. Nested tags supported.
