Case Studies

Explore real workplace analysis scenarios powered by Indicia AI's multi-disciplinary investigation engine. Each case demonstrates how legal, psychological, and HR analyses work together to surface risk patterns, relationship dynamics, and actionable recommendations.

The dashboard below fetches live data from the API — the same data pipeline used in production analysis. Select a case to explore its timeline, participants, risk flags, incidents, and relationship mappings.

How the Analysis Works

Each case study follows a six-layer data pipeline — from raw file upload through to multi-disciplinary AI analysis with mathematical anomaly detection.

1. Sources

Raw communication files are uploaded to a case: email thread exports (.eml), Slack JSON exports, and supporting documents such as performance reviews (PDF). Each source records its type, original filename, raw content, and metadata (platform, message count, export date).

2. Participants

People are identified from the sources. Each participant has a communication role (sender, recipient, cc, mentioned), an organisational role (job title), email address, and aliases used for cross-referencing across different source files.

3. Messages

Individual communications are extracted from the sources — each email in a thread and each Slack message becomes one structured record. Messages are linked to their source, their sender, and ordered by sequence number for chronological reconstruction.

4. Multi-Disciplinary Analysis

AI models run separate analyses per discipline (legal, psychological, HR). Each analysis produces four structured outputs:

  • Risk Flags — categorised findings with severity (1–5), confidence score (0–1), description, and evidence arrays that point back to specific message excerpts
  • Incidents — discrete events extracted from the timeline, each with a timestamp, severity, category (e.g. process-manipulation, role-diminishment, public-humiliation), and an escalation-point flag
  • Relationships — mapped dynamics between participant pairs including power dynamic, communication pattern, and behavioural flags (controlling-tone, isolation-tactics, DARVO-pattern)
  • Summary — overview, key findings, risk level, recommended actions, and a confidence score

5. Technique Analyses

Ten mathematical and information-theoretic techniques are applied to each participant's communication patterns, producing an anomaly score (0–1) and verdict per participant plus an aggregate score for the case.

Technique What it measures
Cauchy ConvergenceWhether communication patterns stabilise or diverge over time
Wasserstein DistanceDistributional drift between expected and observed patterns
KL-DivergenceInformation-theoretic divergence from baseline
Fisher InformationInformation content and parameter stability of behavioural signals
Lyapunov ExponentChaotic dynamics and unpredictability
Kolmogorov ComplexityStructural complexity and compressibility
Mutual InformationStatistical dependency between participants' patterns
Persistent HomologyTopological structure in relational data
Narrative EntropyCoherence, topic drift, and contradiction in accounts
Minimum Description LengthModel complexity vs explanatory power

The contrast between participants is the signal: an aggressor typically scores high anomaly across techniques (chaotic, high-drift, highly-divergent), while a target scores low (stable, consistent, coherent).

6. Dashboard Visualisation

The dashboard above fetches all six data layers via a single API call and renders seven tabs — each computing its own charts and visualisations client-side from the structured data:

  • Techniques — radar charts (aggregate + per-participant overlay) with per-technique score breakdowns
  • Overview — metric cards, analysis summary, key findings, and recommended actions
  • Timeline — message-density bar chart and chronological message feed colour-coded by participant
  • Participants — participant list with organisational roles and aliases
  • Risk Analysis — severity distribution bar chart, confidence area chart, and detailed risk flag cards with evidence
  • Incidents — severity-over-time scatter plot and event cards with escalation markers
  • Relationships — participant-pair dynamics with power analysis, behavioural flags, and evidence excerpts

No chart data is hardcoded. All calculations and visualisations are derived dynamically from the API response.

About the Sample Data

The cases shown above are populated with synthetic seed data — fabricated but realistic workplace scenarios with hand-written messages and hand-crafted analysis outputs. In a production system, the analyses and technique scores would be generated by AI models rather than written by hand. The seed data demonstrates what those models' structured outputs look like once rendered.
