Investigations
Built for Discipline and Defensibility

A governed investigative environment with incident‑first case creation, full version history, immutable audit trails, and escalation‑only director visibility.

Incident‑First Case Creation
A case cannot exist without an originating incident — enforced by the platform.

No Empty Cases

Cases form automatically when the first incident is created. No drafts, no placeholders, no pretext files.

  • Prevents retaliation and dossier‑building
  • Eliminates political misuse
  • Ensures defensible documentation
  • Mirrors real investigative discipline

Linked Incidents, Not Shared Incidents

HR and Security can link incidents to the same case without gaining visibility into each other’s content.

  • Structural linking only
  • No cross‑domain exposure
  • No hints, counts, or shadows
  • Visibility remains domain‑private
Full Version History
Every edit, correction, and update is preserved — nothing is overwritten.

Every Version Matters

Directors and Legal rely on version history to understand contradictions, tone shifts, and timeline anomalies.

  • All edits preserved
  • All metadata retained
  • No silent changes
  • Director review includes the full record

Legal‑Ready Documentation

Version history is essential for termination, prosecution, and compliance review.

  • Defensible chain of evidence
  • Clear narrative evolution
  • Immutable record of investigator actions
  • Supports HR, Security, and Legal equally
Immutable Audit Trails
Every action is logged — creation, edits, linking, sharing, escalation, and review.

Complete Transparency

Audit logs are visible to Legal and Directors, ensuring accountability and defensibility.

  • Incident creation and edits
  • Case linking and sharing
  • Escalation decisions
  • Director review timestamps

Immutable by Design

Audit trails cannot be altered or deleted — they are part of the governance backbone.

  • Permanent record
  • Supports compliance and litigation
  • Protects investigators from political pressure
  • Ensures nothing can be altered retroactively
Escalation to Directors
Directors see everything — but only when an investigator chooses to escalate.

Escalation‑Only Visibility

Directors are not omniscient. They only see what HR or Security intentionally surface.

  • Full incident history, not summaries
  • All versions and attachments included
  • No placeholders or hidden counts
  • Clear, intentional escalation events

Second‑Set‑of‑Eyes Review

Escalation is used when termination, prosecution, retaliation risk, or uncertainty is present.

  • Directors receive the entire record
  • AI flags help guide attention
  • Legal can join when needed
  • All review actions are logged
Governance Backbone
The same rules that protect investigators also protect the company.

Domain Separation

HR and Security incidents remain private to their domains unless explicitly shared.

  • No cross‑domain bleed‑through
  • No mixed dashboards
  • No accidental visibility
  • Sharing is explicit and logged

Defensible by Design

Every workflow is built to withstand director review, legal scrutiny, and external investigation.

  • Incident‑first case creation
  • Immutable audit trails
  • Full version history
  • Escalation‑only director access

Investigations Built for the Real World

Relancy gives investigators the structure, privacy, and defensibility they need — without slowing them down.
