🎯 Simulation: Option 4 - Narrative Threads
This prototype demonstrates story-driven pathways through interconnected content. Follow the evidence trail horizontally through time, seeing how testimonies cite archive items, which are analyzed in blog posts. Visual threads show citations, corroborations, and relationships between content types.

Following the evidence trail from initial testimony through documentary evidence to analytical context
All Resources
What You're Seeing:
A chronological evidence trail showing how testimonies, archive items, and analysis posts connect through citations, corroborations, and thematic relationships. Visual threads illustrate the flow of evidence and reasoning.
Relationship Types:
- •Citations: Analysis posts cite testimonies and archive items as evidence
- •Corroborations: Multiple testimonies confirm the same events from different perspectives
- •Connections: Content items relate through shared locations, events, or themes
Why It Matters:
This approach transforms isolated content into investigative narratives. Users can follow the evidence trail, understand how conclusions are reached, and see the interconnected nature of documentation, testimony, and analysis.
Technical Implementation:
The unified content schema includes relationship metadata (cites, corroborates, mentions) that enables automatic thread generation. Each content item knows what it references and what references it, creating a bidirectional knowledge graph.
