Witness Intelligence

Cluster every statement each witness made across the record, compare accounts, and surface impeachment material.

What it does

Witness Intelligence groups statements by witness and by subject. It compares what each witness said in different documents and highlights inconsistencies, corroborations, and gaps that a cross-examiner or impeachment memo needs to see.

How it works

  1. 1
    Step 1
    Statements attributed to a witness are pulled from every document in the corpus.
  2. 2
    Step 2
    Statements are clustered by subject so the same topic across depositions, affidavits, and interviews is grouped.
  3. 3
    Step 3
    Contradiction detection compares statements within a single witness and across witnesses.
  4. 4
    Step 4
    Each conflict is presented with both source passages side by side and cited.
Evidence gate
Every intelligence engine writes through an evidence gate that suppresses ungrounded output. Nothing reaches a report unless it can be traced to a passage in your corpus.

Benefits

See every version of a witness's story on one screen.
Cross-witness contradictions surface automatically.
Foundation for cross-examination outlines and impeachment memos.

Typical workflow

  1. 1
    Load witness documents
    Statements, depositions, interviews, affidavits, transcripts.
  2. 2
    Open the Witness panel
    Witnesses are listed with statement counts and conflict flags.
  3. 3
    Drill into a witness
    Statements clustered by subject with citations to source.

Examples

Civil Rights §1983
Compare officer statements across arrest report, IA log, and deposition.
Family Law
Reconcile parent statements across custody evaluation, DV incident report, and financial affidavit.

Best practices

  • Upload prior sworn testimony from unrelated matters when it's already in your possession — it strengthens impeachment clustering.
  • Review speaker attributions on transcripts with speaker-tag noise before relying on the cluster.
  • Use the exported cross-witness comparison as a starting point, not a finished cross outline.

Attorney responsibilities

Attorney in control
Nyrava proposes. Attorneys decide. Every output must be reviewed by qualified counsel before use.
  • Confirm every statement attribution before using it in cross.
  • Preserve the underlying source document alongside any impeachment excerpt.
  • Weigh materiality — not every inconsistency is worth impeachment.

Common scenarios

Cross prep
Filter to a single witness and export a subject-clustered brief with every citation prewired.
Deposition strategy
Identify subjects the witness has not testified about but that appear in the record.

Platform limitations

  • Speaker attribution on ambiguous transcripts is inferred and can be wrong.
  • Statements paraphrased in third-party reports are labeled as such but may lose nuance.
