Optio

A sentinel + agent system for federal investigators and forensic professionals. Case management, structured workflows, and AI that respects chain-of-custody.

Why I built it

Federal investigators are buried in evidence. Existing case management is decades old. AI tools built for marketing don't survive a courtroom.

Process

  1. Designed around chain-of-custody first. Every AI output is provenance-tagged.
  2. Structured workflows for interview prep, evidence triage, and report writing.
  3. Sentinel agent monitors a case for cross-references the human team missed.

Lessons

  • Audit logs are the product.
  • Build for the deposition, not the demo.
