Reading Your Analysis Results

After The Archiver analyses your Dossier, it presents the results as a series of blocks — each block showing a different aspect of what the AI found.

The 9 block types​

1. Narrative​

A flowing prose description of what the AI found — written like a short essay. This is the main summary of the collection and its significance.

2. Timeline​

A chronological list of key events, dates, and developments found across the documents. Useful for understanding how events unfolded over time.

3. Quote​

A significant direct quotation from one of the documents, with attribution and context. The AI selects quotes that are particularly revealing or historically significant.

4. Entity Card​

A profile card for a key person, organisation, or place mentioned repeatedly in the collection. Includes what the AI knows about them from the documents.

5. Connection​

A connection the AI has drawn between two or more items — a link, pattern, or relationship that wouldn't be obvious from looking at individual files.

6. Finding​

A specific factual discovery or conclusion the AI has drawn from the evidence. Each Finding is supported by references to the source documents.

7. Comparison​

A side-by-side comparison of two items or aspects — useful for highlighting contrasts, contradictions, or development over time.

8. Gap​

Something that appears to be missing from the collection — a period with no records, an expected document not present, or a question the available materials can't answer.

9. Research Question​

A follow-up question the AI suggests based on what it found — pointing towards areas for further research or investigation.

  • Click the source reference on any Finding or Narrative block to jump to the source file
  • Click the file reference to open the original document

Follow-up questions​

At the bottom of the results, you'll see a list of suggested follow-up questions. Click any question to ask the AI to explore it in more depth — this generates a new set of blocks focused on that question.

You can also type your own questions in the text box.

Sharing and exporting results​
