A case package, before and after.

This shows the shape of what Archivist produces: scattered evidence on the left, a structured, cited, integrity-stamped case package on the right. The matter below (“Northwind Logistics”) is fictional and every value is fabricated — it demonstrates the format, not a real result.

Before

Raw, unprovable

23 browser screenshots in a Downloads folder, no order
4 PDFs with overlapping but inconsistent dates
An email thread referencing a document nobody can find
A spreadsheet of names with no source for any of them
No index, no provenance, no way to prove what came from where

After

Cited, content-addressed

Every claim resolves to a source with a content hash and a confidence signal. Thin and single-source claims are surfaced, not smoothed over.
