Use Case

Law Enforcement & Criminal Intelligence Analysis

Link people, places, communications and evidence to reveal organized networks

Investigators and intelligence analysts work with case files, call detail records (CDRs), financial records and open-source intelligence (OSINT) spread across disconnected systems. Building a link chart by hand - in a spreadsheet, a case-management note field, or on a literal whiteboard - is slow, error-prone, and gets harder to maintain every time the case grows. A long-running investigation can easily end up with hundreds or thousands of entities and relationships, far past the point where a manual chart stays readable or accurate.

On top of that, the output has to hold up outside the investigator's own head: it needs to be clear enough to brief a superior, support a warrant application, or stand as evidence in front of a prosecutor or a court.

Graphlytic turns CDR exports, financial records, case-management data and OSINT into a single navigable graph of suspects, associates, locations and events. Shared identifiers - a phone number, an address, a vehicle, a financial account - surface hidden associations between individuals who otherwise look unconnected, and the graph makes the structure of a criminal network visible: who the key facilitators are, how communication flows through the hierarchy, and which links are actually worth the investigator's time. Because this data is typically classified or otherwise sensitive, Graphlytic is commonly deployed on-premises, fully under the investigating agency's control.

Summary

Pain points / Challenges
  • Case data fragmented across CDRs, financial records, case-management systems and OSINT
  • Manual link charts in spreadsheets or on whiteboards don't scale with case size
  • Hidden associations between suspects go unnoticed in tabular data
  • Hard to present a clear, evidentiary visual to prosecutors and courts
  • Slow onboarding of new analysts onto large, ongoing investigations
Solution
  • Import CDRs, financial records, case files and OSINT into a single graph
  • Automatically surface shared identifiers linking suspects and associates
  • Visualize communication hierarchies and the structure of criminal networks
  • On-premises deployment for classified or otherwise sensitive investigative data
Benefits
  • Faster identification of key facilitators and network structure
  • Clear, presentable visual evidence for briefings and court proceedings
  • Reduced manual charting effort for analysts
  • Easier case hand-over and faster onboarding of new analysts
