Introducing CaseRunner and ResearchRunner
Innovative investigation and research tools for use in investigation case management, research collation and analytical writing.
Welcome to our innovative investigation and research tools for use in investigation case management, research collation and analytical writing, or as a tool for students to collate research material and lecture notes and assist with the writing of assignments or theses.
The latest version builds on features of the application that have been in service for over twenty years. The application has been revised, extended, and modernised.
We are currently offering the tool as a BETA release for a limited trial period. Please contact us if interested.
To gain an understanding of the key component of the application, review the Users’ ‘How To’ help video on this site.
Key Features:
Highlight-and-Click Efficiency
Streamline your content collection with our intuitive ‘highlight-and-click’ feature to add text excerpts to draft reports or to add entities to the database. Crafting draft reports, essays, or book chapters becomes a breeze as you compile and sort information from various sources within the application. In the investigation environment, if dealing with a complicated investigation, many items of information will be replicated in several places: in the running sheet, in investigators’ court statements, in investigation reports, and in court ‘informations’ for obtaining warrants and the like. Simply highlight the source text and then click a button to send the information to any one of these specific destinations to add to and compile a draft document.
Graph-Style Database
Experience the power of a graph-style database of nodes and relationships. Our original database design preceded the release of contemporary graph databases by ten years. The simple design enables Users to visualise relationships between over thirty different entity types and effortlessly chart connections between people, organisations, locations, and more. Moreover, this simple design also makes the application relatively simple to scale – to add your own new entity types or functionality.
Professional Documentation
Generate investigation reports, court statements, and legal documents with ease. Our application assists you in preparing well-structured, accurate, and comprehensive materials.
ComprehensiveData Collation
Whether you're managing investigation data and task assignment, research findings, or academic research and lecture notes, our application excels in collating, indexing, and organising diverse types of information. Say goodbye to scattered notes and fragmented data. Particularly for investigation case management, the application make work easier for the operatives, to give a good return on their invested time. Unlike many case management applications, it is not simply a recourse for managers to exercise control. The latter is important, but becomes an intrinsic by-product when using the application to solve a crime or disciplinary offence. While managerial control is obviously essential and is adequately provided by the application, process should never take precedent over production.
Advanced Forensic Language Analysis
In the realm of forensic analysing of investigation statements or critically examining narratives, delve into tested methods for identifying deception, missing information, insights into interpersonal relationships, or the writer’s priorities or aversions. This functionality provides an excellent recourse to develop avenues of enquiry or questions to be asked of persons of interest. This analytical process offers a sophisticated tool for Analysts who have forensic language analysis skills by providing the mark-up process and identifying cue words and phrases. Uncover hidden insights and connections that traditional review methods will surely miss. See an example of an analysis on this site: examine a real-life narrative relating to a murder and note what clues you identity, next peruse the computer-generated mark-up, then look at a completed analysis put together with assistance from the mark-up, and finally compare the assumptions from the analysis to the facts of the case, as outlined in a court-of-appeal summary.
Communication and Financial Analysis
For investigation purposes, process, link, and chart telephone call charge records effortlessly. Quickly collate and link the plethora of information from seized cell phone data and transform it into actionable intelligence. Avail yourself to over 100 reports. Read in and link lists of Facebook friends copied from Facebook. Prepare User-defined templates to read and collate transactions from financial records and bank statements.
Privacy and Security
Your sensitive data is secure. The software prioritises data privacy and employs security and counter-intelligence measures to safeguard information. In investigation case management, it strikes a workable balance between the need to alert the User when it recognises existing entities and the security of data on an otherwise need-to-know basis. An audit feature records all significant interactions.
Collaborative Academic Platform
Empower university students to collaborate on research projects effectively. Store and collate research material, lecture notes, and other academic resources in an organised manner in an indexed note-card format. Your years of academic research never leaves you if you keep your collated research material past your study time and continue to build your knowledge-base into your working career. If you encounter difficult academic language in research text, or unknow acronyms in technical writing, simply click the unfamiliar word and immediately get its meaning, derivation, and use in a sample sentence and, if you wish, annotate the meaning alongside the word in your research text.

Former Victoria Police
I’m a retired sergeant with over 35 years of experience within Victoria Police. I spent the last 26 years working on major investigations, mainly within the Crime Command and the Intelligence and Covert Support Command. I made full use of the CallRunner application which was invaluable on several levels in the processing and management of telecommunications data. The extension of CallRunner to a Case Management application, with its charting, entity linking, and free text handling, incorporates many functionalities that VicPol had in disparate systems that would not talk to each other. E.g. Analyst Notebook for charting, Interpose (the corporate Intelligence and Investigation database) etc. The CaseRunner application would be brilliant. I only wish we had such a system in my time in VicPol.
Hudsons’ Investigations
In the late 1980s, I introduced training courses in SCAN, or Forensic Language Analysis, to Australia. Bill Beale trained to the advanced level. We kept in regular contact afterward and I realised that Bill was among the best practitioners of language analysis in Australia – so much so that I called on him to deliver training courses when the principal lecturer could not attend from the US. Bill has since impressed me with examples of the computerised mark-up application he has developed to quickly assist analysts in identifying cue words and phrases.
