Amateur and professional investigators lack good software for organizing complex case information. Existing tools aren't designed for historical research.

Build a web app with features like interactive timelines, relationship graphs, and evidence tracking. Focus on usability for non-technical users.

Offer premium analysis features on a subscription model. Law enforcement and journalists might pay for advanced tools.

Start with just basic timeline and note features. Add complexity based on user feedback.
