For reporters planning an in-depth investigation, use your notes and pasted source excerpts to map key themes, build a chronology, and identify unanswered questions. Ask for a context section grounded in the material at hand, with claims marked for source checks. Leave with a background brief, a reporting timeline, and a focused list of gaps to pursue before the story takes shape.

Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I’m investigating city contracts awarded to Northline Paving from 2019 to 2023. Build a brief from these interview notes and flag gaps: the mayor’s aide says bids were competitive; two contractors disagree.
Make a timeline from these pasted excerpts about the county jail’s restraint policy, including dates, conflicting accounts, and unanswered questions: the policy changed in 2021; an inspection followed in 2022.
Write a context section for an investigation into school bus no-bid contracts, using only these excerpts. Mark every claim that needs a source check: the district renewed the contract twice without a public vote.
