In one sentence
Set a reference date in the assistant, and the case file is rolled back to that date — documents and fact graph show only what was known at the time.
Why it matters
Case files evolve over years. Often the decisive question isn't "How do things stand today?" but "What did we know when the claim was filed?" or "What did the case look like before the court order?". If today's knowledge creeps in, the assessment becomes worthless.
What time travel does
With a reference date, only documents that existed up to that date feed into the next answer. What's new: the fact graph too — the curated knowledge network of your case file — is reconstructed for that point in time. Facts and relationships that were only added or corrected later are left out. The result is a clean cut through time, with no blurring.
Two ways in
- In the assistant's context panel you enter a reference date (part of the context sets) and, if you wish, save it as a named variant.
- In a case file's timeline tab, click "Open in chat" on any recorded state — the chat starts straight away with that reference date.
Staying honest
The reconstruction draws on the facts recorded in the case file and their timestamps. It is a tool for putting things in context, not a substitute for a lawyer's review of how the proceedings actually unfolded. More on this: AI transparency.
