Chronology infrastructure for litigation

Defensible, court-ready chronologies you can file with confidence.

What TimelineSystem is, exactly.

TimelineSystem is a chronology platform for litigation teams. It turns the mixed evidence in a production — email, PDFs, native files, spreadsheets, chat exports, audit logs — into a date-anchored chronology where every event traces back to a specific page in a specific exhibit, and every export carries a SHA-256 manifest opposing counsel can verify offline.

01 — Input

Mixed evidence, ingested as-is.

EML, MSG, MBOX, PST, PDF (text and OCR), DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, Slack and Teams exports, SMS / iMessage, JSON / CSV audit logs, and archives. Connectors pull from Microsoft 365, Gmail Vault, NetDocuments, iManage, Slack, Teams, and Relativity.

02 — Extract

Source-cited events, every one.

Date-anchored events are extracted with the originating span attached. Duplicates across custodians collapse to one canonical event. Ambiguous dates record an uncertainty window instead of a false-precise timestamp.

03 — Review

Workflow built for the bar.

Reviewers walk the chronology event-by-event with role-based status transitions. An event can advance to accepted only after a reviewer has opened the cited span. Every decision is logged in a hash-chained audit trail.

04 — Output

Defensible the day you file.

Court-ready PDF with citation footnotes, structured CSV / JSON, Word handoff, and a signed bundle for sealed productions. Every artifact carries a SHA-256 manifest and an independent verification command.

In one sentence
Turns the production into a chronology you can stake a filing on — cited, signed, and verifiable.
Where it sits
Downstream of your review platform (Relativity, Everlaw, Reveal). Upstream of the motion, the deposition outline, and the trial binder.
Who runs it
Partners, associates, paralegals, litigation support, in-house counsel, and ALSP / eDiscovery teams.
What you receive
A reviewable chronology workspace, a signed export bundle, an audit-log export, and a verification routine your court and opposing counsel can run without an account.
For litigation teams

Built for the work between production and filing.

The chronology is where evidence becomes argument. Every fact has to anchor to a specific page, every contradiction has to be traceable, and the whole record has to survive a Daubert challenge or a Rule 26(g) signature. TimelineSystem replaces spreadsheet-driven chronology work with a citation-first workspace your team can stand behind in court.

Discovery review

Turn 50,000 pages into 200 events.

After a production lands, paralegals open TimelineSystem against the matter, ingest the bates-stamped volume, and start at the top of the review queue. Duplicate events collapse, dates normalize across time zones, and reviewers advance an event only after they have opened the cited span.

Motions & MIL practice

Cite the exact page in the exact exhibit.

When a motion or memorandum cites a fact, the associate clicks the event in TimelineSystem and pulls the source span — bates number, exhibit ID, page, quote. The brief footnotes write themselves; the appendix cross-references are correct the first time.

Deposition prep

Walk in already knowing the contradictions.

The trust panel flags events where the witness’s sworn statement conflicts with metadata, served interrogatories, or another custodian’s record. Outline questions directly from the conflict list; export a witness packet pre-tagged with the exhibits each line will need.

Mediation & demand

Send a chronology opposing counsel can verify.

Export a court-ready PDF with the SHA-256 fingerprint on the cover. Opposing counsel verifies the export with one command and reads a chronology that already shows them where the case turns — not a marketing deck, an evidence record.

Trial prep

A single source of truth from production to verdict.

Trial team, paralegals, and co-counsel work the same chronology with role-based status transitions and a signed audit log. The witness binder, exhibit list, and jury timeline all flow from the same canonical events.

In-house & investigations

A defensible record before outside counsel even arrives.

Compliance and in-house teams use TimelineSystem to assemble the privileged internal chronology during the litigation hold, then hand a signed package to outside counsel with sources, citations, and reviewer attestations already in place.

Why TimelineSystem

A chronology you can stake a filing on.

— 01

Every event traces back to the page

Click any event in the chronology and surface the source: the email header, the PDF passage, the Slack thread, the audit-log row. No paralegal hunting; no “where did this come from?” on the eve of filing.

— 02

Conflicts and admissions surface themselves

TimelineSystem flags metadata contradictions, post-dated records, and statements that conflict with served interrogatories — the moments your case actually turns on, lifted out of the noise.

— 03

Defensible the day you file

Every export carries a SHA-256 fingerprint, full audit trail, and reviewer attestation. Opposing counsel can verify it; the court can verify it; you can sleep the night before trial.

How it works

Four steps from production to court-ready PDF.

Step 01
Ingest

Drop in the production. Emails, PDFs, native files, chats, exports. Parsing, OCR, and entity resolution run in the background.

Step 02
Extract

Date-anchored facts are extracted with the source span attached. Identical events from multiple sources are reconciled into a single canonical event.

Step 03
Review

Counsel walks the chronology event-by-event. Approve, edit, or escalate. Every change is logged against a reviewer, with a reason.

Step 04
Export

Court-ready PDF, structured CSV/JSON, or a signed handoff package. Each carries a tamper-evident fingerprint opposing counsel can verify.

Pricing

Priced per matter, or annual for active practices.

Three ways to engage. Pilot a single matter end-to-end for a fixed fee, license the platform annually for an active litigation team, or run it inside your own tenancy with a dedicated security review. All tiers ship the same source-cited chronology, the same SHA-256 signed exports, and the same audit trail.

What every tier includes
Source-cited extraction with span-level evidence, deterministic event deduplication, uncertainty windows on ambiguous dates, immutable review telemetry, tamper-evident exports with SHA-256 manifest, and the same attorney-friendly review workspace. Demo data and the EDRM Micro simulation are available to every tenant at no charge.
What we do not charge for
Per-seat reviewer fees. Re-extraction after model version freeze. Verification of a sealed export by opposing counsel. Audit-log download for a closed matter. Bates re-stamping on export.
Volume & overage
Volume is measured by ingested, post-canonicalization bytes — not raw upload size. Practice tier overage is billed per 50 GB; Firm tier sets its own caps. We will tell you at 80% and again at 95%.

Pricing in USD, billed annually for Practice and Firm. Pilot engagements are paid up front. Government, non-profit, and academic-litigation programs: ask about reduced-fee access. Pricing was last updated 2026-05-27.
