Solvability Assessment in Analyst

The Solvability Assessment is a structured AI-generated report that scores a case's likelihood of resolution based on six weighted factors, helping investigators prioritize cases and communicate status to command.

Overview

When you generate a Solvability Assessment in Analyst, TRULEO evaluates the available case files and produces:

  • A scored narrative summarizing the overall solvability of the case
  • A six-factor weighted assessment table with a score for each factor
  • Key strengths — the evidence or circumstances working in the investigation's favor
  • Critical weaknesses — gaps or obstacles that lower solvability
  • Top 3 next steps — prioritized investigative actions most likely to move the case forward
  • Analogous case type — a reference to similar case patterns and their typical outcomes

Generating a Solvability Assessment

  1. Open a case in Analyst with at least one processed file
  2. Click the Files & Evidence tab and select the files relevant to the assessment
  3. Click the template dropdown and select Solvability Assessment
  4. Click Generate Report
  5. Review the draft in the TRULEO Reports tab

The assessment is also included as a section in the Case Summary report when that template is selected.

Understanding the six-factor table

The Solvability Assessment scores the case across six weighted factors. Each factor receives a score, and the weights are fixed — the overall solvability score reflects the relative importance of each factor to typical case resolution.

Factors evaluated include witness availability, physical evidence quality, suspect identification, timeline clarity, corroborating evidence, and investigative lead viability.

Case Summary and Solvability Assessment

The Case Summary report includes a Solvability Assessment section alongside other report sections (Executive Summary, Working Theory, Recommended Next Steps). A visual divider separates the assessment sections from the analytical sections, making command-level review faster.

Section names in the Case Summary:

  • Executive Summary — high-level case overview (formerly "Case Summary Report")
  • Solvability Assessment — the six-factor evaluation (formerly "Solvability")
  • Working Theory — the leading investigative hypothesis
  • Recommended Next Steps — prioritized actions

Best practices

  • Run a Solvability Assessment early in an investigation to prioritize resource allocation
  • Generate updated assessments as new evidence is added — scores will reflect the current state of the case
  • Use the Top 3 Next Steps as a starting point, not a complete checklist
  • Share the Case Summary report with command for a structured case status overview
