What is an Investigator?
An Investigator is a compensated contributor authorized to submit admissible evidence in contested cases on Objection.
Investigators do not moderate content, express opinions, or argue narratives.
They introduce evidence into a structured, adversarial evidentiary process governed by defined standards.
What is an Investigator's function?
The Investigator’s function is to test contested statements through evidence.
Investigators submit documents, sources, data, and sworn-style testimony. That evidence is weighed against opposing submissions and contributes directly to case determinations, the Honor Index, and the permanent public record.
How are investigators compensated?
Investigators are compensated through case fees.
Each case carries a defined fee
Investigators receive 70% of the fee when their evidence materially supports the case determination
Submitting evidence does not guarantee full payment
Are credentials required?
Credentials are evaluated, not required.
Investigators receive an Investigation Quality Score (0–100) based on:
Verifiable credentials
Relevant experience
Professional presence
Methodological clarity
Higher scores unlock access to higher-impact cases and larger bounties.
What happens if my evidence is challenged?
This is expected.
Evidence may be rebutted, contradicted, or discredited by opposing submissions. Investigators are evaluated on how their evidence performs under scrutiny.
Evidence that survives challenge strengthens reputation. Evidence that fails degrades standing.
Can Investigators lose standing or access?
Yes. Standing may be reduced or revoked for:
Repeated low-quality submissions
Misrepresentation of credentials
Evidence fabrication or manipulation
Procedural abuse or bad-faith participation
Authority on Objection is earned, conditional, and revocable.
Why become an Investigator?
In modern society, claims shape reputations, markets, and public behavior long before courts or regulators intervene. Yet the systems that generate those claims rarely preserve a durable record of accuracy.
Objection exists to change that.
Investigators participate in a process where:
Evidence is introduced, not asserted
Statements are tested, not amplified
Judgments persist, rather than disappearing with the news cycle
This role is for people who believe that:
Evidence matters more than narrative
Accuracy should compound over time
Reputation should be earned, not assumed
Authority should be conditional on performance
Investigators do not push narratives. They submit admissible evidence — and allow it to be tested.
