How do I build a clear evidence timeline?
Put events in chronological order and attach each photo, screenshot, document or note to the event it actually supports.
A good timeline is short, factual and easy for another person to follow without needing you to explain every file.
What matters
- Use actual dates and times when known
- Keep facts separate from assumptions
- Attach supporting files beside the relevant event
- Leave gaps marked as unknown rather than guessing
Keptara’s position
Keptara is designed to preserve useful context and make records easier to understand. It does not claim universal legal admissibility, determine blame, or automatically declare media true or fake.
