StructurAI Investigator

Precedent retrieval for forensic engineering

Every investigation asks the same question: where has this failure happened before? Investigator searches documented structural failures and your own case record, and returns what the investigations found, with sources.

Overview

Precedent is the fastest way through an investigation

Forensic structural work is precedent-driven. Before an opinion is formed, an engineer wants to know how similar structures, in similar conditions, have failed before, and what the investigations concluded. Today that knowledge lives in scattered reports, filing cabinets and individual memory, so the search is manual and rarely complete.

StructurAI Investigator makes it searchable. Describe the structure and the observed conditions and it returns documented failures with matching characteristics, each linked to its source investigation, alongside your own firm's prior cases.

It is deliberately not an opinion engine. Investigator surfaces what has been documented and cites where it came from; the engineer forms the conclusion. That is what makes the work defensible: an expert can testify that they reviewed the documented record, never that software told them the answer.

It also gives your investigations a shared home. Field observations, photographs, case documents and prior reports live in one workspace, so a case survives turnover and the next investigation starts from an organized record rather than a box of files.

The investigation workspace, plus the precedent

Precedent search with sources

Find documented failures with matching structure type, material, age, loading and conditions. Every result links back to the investigation it came from, so nothing rests on an unattributable claim.

Your case record, organized

Site observations, photographs, documents and prior reports in one workspace per case, searchable and timestamped, so the record is complete when it matters.

Ask across the whole case

Question your case documents in plain language and get cited answers, so preparing an opinion starts from the record rather than from recollection.

Start every investigation from the documented record

Matching precedent with sources, and your own case history in one place.

Where investigations lose time today

01

Early hypothesis formation

See how comparable structures have failed before, with the investigations cited, rather than relying on which cases you happen to remember.

02

Documenting existing conditions

Capture site observations with photographs and locations, producing a clean, timestamped record of exactly what was observed and when.

03

Preparing an opinion

Assemble what the record actually says, with sources, so the reasoning is traceable if it is later tested.

04

Building institutional memory

Your firm's own investigations become searchable precedent for the next case instead of a shelf nobody opens.
