New Legal Tech Platform Transforms Evidence into Filterable, Searchable Fact Chronologies
AUSTIN, Texas, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ChronoTracer launches today as the first litigation and investigation software that automates case chronologies and accelerates fact analysis across virtually all types of digital evidence. This category-defining platform consolidates communications and other time-based records from e-discovery productions, forensic images, and a wide range of other sources. Designed for litigators and investigative teams, ChronoTracer transforms complex digital evidence into a unified, time-ordered view of the case–drastically reducing manual review work from days or weeks to seconds.
Digital communications are often the most revealing—and the most unwieldy—part of a case. Emails, phone records, text messages, chats, voicemails, and social media posts typically arrive in inconsistent formats, buried in documents and scattered across discovery sets. ChronoTracer consolidates these records into a single, time-ordered chronology, allowing legal teams to view all communications in one place, in order and in context. It also incorporates other time-based records—media files, financial transactions, government filings, meeting logs, computer activity, web searches, and more—into the same unified interface. With all evidence aligned and accessible, teams can focus on analysis, not assembly.
ChronoTracer has already been adopted by AmLaw 100 firms, NLJ 500 firms and litigation boutiques in complex cases involving millions of records and diverse evidence types, allowing legal teams to uncover facts faster and build stronger cases. Working alongside existing e-discovery platforms, ChronoTracer helps legal teams quickly answer critical case questions: who did what, when, and with whom—without the need to manually extract facts or manage evidence in spreadsheets.
"The future of evidence analysis isn't just about reviewing documents—it's about understanding what happened, quickly and clearly," said Richard Gorelick, co-founder and CEO of ChronoTracer. "ChronoTracer restructures messy, fragmented evidence into a dynamic, easy-to-use chronology—helping legal teams see the full story and act on it with confidence."
Users can provide evidence in virtually any format. The system then parses, indexes, and structures each event into a dynamic, filterable web interface.. In ChronoTracer, one document, like a phone record, an email thread or a text-message chain, can result in thousands or even millions of chronology records. These events are better understood in order and in context of all the other evidence in a case.
"ChronoTracer supercharges chronology-building," said Dexter Weiss, CTO and co-founder of ChronoTracer. "We turn mountains of fragmented evidence into a structured, case-ready chronology, in a fraction of the time."
