Evidence intelligence for human review
Sentinel helps you ingest, organize, connect, review, summarize, visualize, and export large collections of evidence in a structured, professional way. It supports legal workflows, investigations, compliance review, forensics, journalism, HR matters, disputes, medical documentation review, advocacy, attorney preparation, and personal evidence organization.
The purpose is to organize information for human review, not to replace judgment, counsel, or professional responsibility.

Core capabilities
- Evidence ingestion and preservation
- Timeline generation and chronology analysis
- Relationship mapping and recurring-pattern identification
- Document categorization and authority/reference organization
- Evidence summaries and visualization workflows
- Structured exports, printable reports, and attorney-review packets
- Evidence-linked reporting and audit-friendly workflows
Imports and organization can include PDFs, images and screenshots, spreadsheets, exported message logs, research materials, audio and video references, documents, web references, and authority materials, with relationships preserved between evidence, events, entities, and chronology where possible.
Steward in Sentinel
Steward is the local, user-trainable guidance layer shared across Faith Based Innovations products. In Sentinel, Steward acts as an evidence organization assistant and investigative workflow layer on your machine.
Steward can help organize evidence, surface related information, support timeline construction, highlight recurring patterns, locate supporting material, assist with summaries, and help prepare structured review materials, always oriented to what you supplied, for your review. It learns from your corrections, naming patterns, and case-specific rules you approve.
Steward is designed to become more useful as the user teaches it how they work.
Steward does not provide legal advice, guaranteed outcomes, automated legal conclusions, court predictions, or attorney replacement. Sentinel organizes information; professionals and users retain responsibility for conclusions and decisions.
Exports and review materials
Sentinel is built to produce professional, modern, organized outputs: attorney-review summaries, evidence summaries, timeline packets, structured reports, printable exports, and operational review materials, with Faith Based Innovations branding integrated subtly and professionally where appropriate.
