Private intake and legal organization

Keep every source connected without changing the source.

Import files or a repository matrix, calculate hashes, classify evidence, record custody, and export a portable ledger. Every new record begins on private hold.

1. Add source files

Files are read locally for hashing. They are not stored unless you explicitly select local browser storage.

Choose files or photographsPDF, images, email exports, audio, video, documents, DICOM, archives, and other evidence filesChoose a folderSupported by Chromium-based browsers. The original folder is not modified. Store file bytes in this browser when space allows

Large imaging sets and disk images should remain in their canonical source location. The workbench can retain metadata and hashes without duplicating the bytes.

2. Import an existing matrix

Use the included repository importer to generate a complete JSON or CSV matrix from the private workplace evidence repository, then load it here.

Choose matrix JSON or CSVNo source file bytes are needed for matrix import.

Repository importer command

python scripts/import_workplace_repo.py \
  --source ../workplace-issue-private \
  --out ./private-import
