Feature. The Evidence Orchestrator
The Cockpit. A Per-File Workstation With Five Synchronized Gauges.
The surface a defense attorney or paralegal sits in front of when the work is the body-camera clip itself, the 911 audio, the witness interview, the discovery PDF, or the scanned handwritten police report. Three-zone layout. Five synchronized gauges. Every gauge is anchored to the playhead, and every click on a gauge seeks the source moment that produced it.

Why this exists
Review Means Reading What The State Produced In Discovery, Page By Page.
The AI proposes; the attorney decides. Every flag, every citation, every recommended clip links back to a timestamp in the source media that a person can listen to, watch, or read. A body-camera stop is a captured incident recorded by a camera worn on a uniform. A 911 call is a captured incident recorded by dispatch. The same media-management architecture that runs a concert capture on the cultural side of The IMC Machine runs the captured-incident review on the defense side. The Cockpit is the surface a reviewer sits in front of when the captured incident is a criminal matter.
The layout
Three Zones, One Playhead.
Zone 01
Left Global Rail
Matter navigation. Every file in the matter, current section, current question number, handoff state from the last reviewer who sat in this seat.
Zone 02
Center Working Canvas
The file itself. A media player for MP4 body-camera footage and MP3 911 audio, a transcript pane for typed transcripts and OCR’d handwriting, a document viewer for discovery PDFs.
Zone 03
Right Tools Rail
Annotation, flagging, clipping, drafting, downloading, and exporting controls. The work the reviewer is actually doing on the file. The playhead is the spine. The transcript follows it. The five gauges follow it. The worksheet question that is currently active follows it.
The instrumentation
Five Synchronized Gauges.
The gauges read what is actually in the file. Each one is computed from a specific source: transcript timecodes, embedded GPS atoms, the Axon Index PDF, the worksheet’s severity-coded flags, the device wall-clock metadata. And each one is clickable into the underlying source moment.
Gauge 01
Running Clock With Wall Clock
Elapsed time inside the file layered with the device wall-clock metadata. The reviewer sees both the timeline position (00:14:23) and the moment the recording was happening in the world (14:23 on the third Thursday of December, central time). This is the frame the jury needs and the worksheet question structure follows.
Gauge 02
Matter Map
Mapbox-driven incident map with the primary-incident pin, the booking destination pin, officer-dispatch pins, and second-by-second body-camera GPS overlay where source files carry embedded GPS atoms. When the atoms are absent, as they were on every MP4 in the benchmark run, the map shows the pins it can confirm and surfaces the absence rather than inventing the trace.
Gauge 03
Officer Indicator
Officer name, badge number, device serial number. Drawn from Axon Index PDFs by the attribution backfill script. The Cockpit does not guess who was wearing the camera. It reads the indexed record the agency provided and surfaces the attribution next to the playhead so the reviewer can confirm or correct it.
Gauge 04
Speech Density
Dialogue versus ambient audio per minute, drawn from the transcript’s segment timecodes. Long silences read as low density; rapid back-and-forth reads as high. The gauge highlights the minute windows where speech is actually happening and surfaces the long silent stretches that may still warrant a descriptive caption.
Gauge 05
Flag Density
Severity-coded flags per segment, drawn from the AI Worksheet Panel’s answers. Each flag carries a severity, a reason, and a clickable timestamp. High flag-density windows are where the reviewer’s attention belongs first. The at-a-glance triage layer for a twelve-hour body-camera file.
All five
Anchored To The Playhead
None of the gauges live in their own tab. They live across the top of the Cockpit, scaled to the file’s full duration, with the current playhead position marked. Click anywhere on any gauge and the file seeks to that moment. The Cockpit is built so that the reviewer never has to leave the file to understand what is in it.
How it connects
The Worksheet Panel And The Recommended Clips.
The Cockpit does not stand alone. Its right tools rail holds the AI Worksheet Panel with the per-file structured questions: 51 per video, 44 per audio, 33 per image, 34 per document, 37 per police report in the May 14, 2026 edition. The Panel’s answers feed the Flag Density gauge. The Panel’s bookmarks feed the timeline. The Panel’s clip candidates feed the Recommended Clips for Attorney Review queue. A second reviewer can take the seat at any point and resume where the first reviewer paused, because the handoff state is preserved in the matter’s review record. Worksheet outputs are not evidence. The underlying source files are evidence. The worksheet is attorney work product.
What it looks like in production
Inside The Cockpit On The Benchmark Run, File By File.
A Large Evidence Corpus, One Workstation
On the controlled benchmark matter, the Cockpit opened every item in the large evidence corpus the platform pulled overnight. Thirty-three MP4 body-camera videos in the media-player canvas with their true transcripts. Eleven MP3 audio recordings (911 calls, witness interviews) with speaker-labeled transcripts. Seventy-six photographs in an image canvas. Twenty-two documents and twelve police reports. The typed ones with extracted text, the handwritten ones with OCR’d transcript-equivalent records.
The Matter Changes, The Shape Does Not
The same Cockpit. The same five gauges. The same right-rail tools. A reviewer who learned the Cockpit on the body-camera file did not have to re-learn it for the 911 audio, the interview audio, the photographs, the discovery PDFs, or the handwritten police reports. The Cockpit is for the people who actually sit with the file. Paralegals, defense investigators, second-chair attorneys, the firm’s lead trial attorney making the final pass before approval.
Private Investigators Use The Cockpit Too
A PI agency reviewing multi-day surveillance footage, dash-cam they obtained, or CCTV pulled for a witness-location or alibi-verification engagement sits inside the same workstation with the same five gauges. The platform helps PIs document and organize what their cameras captured. The legal use of that work product is for the attorney-client to decide.
Why This Matters Beyond The Firm That Uses It
Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963), established the Sixth Amendment right to counsel for those charged with crimes who cannot afford to hire it. The well-resourced firm puts three reviewers on the body-camera record for two weeks. The court-appointed lawyer, the public defender, and the solo attorney with the indigent caseload have one paralegal and a deadline. The Cockpit is one of the surfaces that helps make Gideon’s promise meaningful in the body-camera era.

Why This Matters
Source-Anchored Review For The Body-Camera Era.
Defense review now reads volumes the discovery rules were never written for. One police department logged a 600% increase in audio and video evidence over five years4, with one terabyte of digital evidence common on even a minor misdemeanor case4. Under the 2023 National Public Defense Workload Study, the per-felony ceiling sits at 35 hours, up from 13.9 in 19731. The Cockpit is the surface a defense attorney or paralegal sits in front of when the work is the body-camera clip, the 911 audio, the witness interview, the discovery PDF, or the scanned handwritten police report. Three-zone layout. Five synchronized gauges, Running Clock with Wall Clock, Matter Map, Officer Indicator, Speech Density, Flag Density, each anchored to the playhead. Every click on a gauge seeks the source moment that produced it. Review means reading what the State produced, not reading a summary of it.
