Investigation Framework

Step 1
Extract metadata

Check EXIF, timestamps, dimensions, and file clues while treating metadata as a claim, not proof.

Step 2
Reverse search for provenance

Find earlier appearances and anchor the timeline with the earliest reliable copy.

Step 3
Geolocate the scene

Match terrain, buildings, signage, and other visual cues against imagery and maps.

Step 4
Chronolocate

Use shadows, weather, and seasonal clues to test claimed dates and times.
