Platform · Pipeline

Every source in. Every fact placed.

Setara takes the full spread of your evidence, emails, logs, documents, Slack threads, CSVs, audit logs, and screenshots, and turns it into a single, traceable picture. Nothing is dropped. Every transformation is recorded.

The challenge

The evidence is already there. The problem is the shape it is in.

Complex matters, disputes, incidents, investigations, rarely fail because the relevant evidence did not exist. They fail because that evidence lived in twelve different formats, held by six different teams, with no common reference point. A Slack thread here. An audit log there. A screenshot folder someone emailed as a ZIP. By the time analysts finish piecing it together manually, the timeline is already contested and the window for a clear picture has closed.

Investigators spend more time converting and correlating files than they do analysing them
The same person, company, or account appears under different names across sources, creating false gaps in the record
Manual collation leaves no audit trail: no record of what was ingested, when, or what changed
Counsel receives a folder of documents rather than a structured briefing ready for immediate use

Feature detail · Ingest

Ingest from anywhere. Lose nothing.

Setara accepts the formats your sources actually produce. There is no pre-processing step, no required export format, and no format conversion your team must handle before the work begins. Each item is stamped with its origin, its ingest timestamp, and a content hash at the point of entry, before any processing occurs.

Emails and email threads (raw .eml, .msg, forwarded chains)
System and application logs (plain text, structured JSON, syslog)
Documents: PDF, Word, spreadsheets, scanned images with OCR
Slack exports and message archives
CSV and tabular data from any source
Audit logs from cloud platforms, access control systems, and SaaS tools
Screenshots and image files with embedded metadata extraction

Process

Raw evidence · Setara · Core · Resolved output.

Every item that enters the pipeline passes through a consistent set of operations inside Setara Core. The steps are deterministic and fully logged. Each operation appends to the item's provenance record, so at any point you can trace any fact in the output back to the specific source line it came from.

Normalisation: dates, times, names, identifiers, and formats are standardised to a common schema across all sources
Entity resolution: references to the same person, account, device, or organisation across different sources are matched and collapsed into a single resolved entity
Relationship extraction: connections between resolved entities, who communicated with whom, which account accessed which system, are mapped as traversable links
Event sequencing: all dated events are placed onto a shared timeline regardless of their originating source
Provenance attachment: every resolved fact carries a traceable reference back to its source document, line, and ingest timestamp

Feature detail · Chain of custody

Chain-of-custody traceability at every step.

Setara is built for environments where the process of reaching a conclusion matters as much as the conclusion itself. Every item ingested, every normalisation applied, every entity resolution decision, and every output produced is recorded in a tamper-evident audit log. When counsel, a regulator, or a counterparty asks how a fact was established, the answer is already in the record.

Each ingested item receives a unique identifier and content hash before processing begins
All transformation steps are appended to a lineage record, not overwritten
Entity resolution decisions are logged with the evidence that supported each match
Outputs carry source citations that link back to the original ingested material
The full audit trail is exportable for use in legal proceedings, regulatory responses, or internal review

Outputs

Resolved outputs your teams can use immediately.

The pipeline does not produce a data dump. It produces structured, counsel-ready outputs that are directly usable without further formatting or manual assembly.

Timeline: a chronological event record drawn from all sources, with each entry linked to its origin
Evidence Map: a spatial view of the material, showing what exists, what corroborates what, and where gaps remain
Relationship Graph: a traversable map of entity connections, communication flows, and access patterns
Structured Briefing: a formatted summary of the matter, ready for counsel, executive review, or regulatory submission

Use cases

Where teams put the pipeline to work.

Setara's pipeline is not domain-specific. The same ingest and processing path applies whether the matter is a commercial dispute, a cyber incident, an internal investigation, or a regulatory review.

Legal teams: build a corroborated, source-cited timeline from document productions and communications before the first hearing
Cyber teams: correlate logs, alerts, and access records from multiple systems into a single incident timeline without manual joins
Risk and compliance teams: produce a structured, auditable record of what happened, in what order, and who was involved
Business investigations: map relationships and communications across a target entity's footprint from public and provided sources

The live demonstration uses a real matter workload: mixed formats, overlapping entities, contested timeline. Watch how each source is ingested, normalised, and placed, and how the output is assembled step by step.
