InvestiScript
Case studies

Public-domain investigations,
re-run inside InvestiScript.

Each case study is a walk-through of a known investigation — reconstructed from public filings and reported facts — routed through the same pipeline a working newsroom would use. The point is not novelty. It is to show the artefacts an editor or defamation lawyer would actually inspect before sign-off.

These reconstructions use only public-record sources. No confidential material, no named whistleblower data.

Steinhoff: re-tracing the paper trail

A walk-through of how an investigative desk would assemble the Steinhoff accounting-fraud paper trail inside InvestiScript — from JSE filings and SENS announcements to PwC's forensic report — and what the chain-of-custody export looks like at the end of it.

A note on methodology

Every artefact in these walk-throughs was produced by the same pipeline a paying customer uses. Hashes are real SHA-256 digests of the source documents at ingestion time. The audit chain is the production audit chain. The chain-of-custody DOCX is the production export. Nothing is mocked. The only thing different from a live investigation is that the underlying material is already public, so we can publish the artefacts.

More walk-throughs coming. If your newsroom has a closed investigation you would like reconstructed as a public reference, get in touch.
