Ship AI Hackathon · Product Showcase

Watch the case.
Work the case.
Go beyond the headlines.

What happens when a retired police detective builds an AI-enabled home for true-crime case analysis? Every case gets its own workspace—court documents, timelines, videos, community discussion, expert notes, and AI assistance in one place.

The Detective Academy 12 week learning pathway
Competitive learning · First case season forthcoming

True crime isn't a spectator sport. Call your plays.

Defense League turns a real criminal case into a team-versus-team educational strategy simulation. Members form teams, study the public case record, build their defense playbook, and commit strategic decisions that can be scored against other teams.

Case Record

If it isn't in the public record, it isn't in the game. Every argument must trace to documented information.

Film Room & Playbook

Study evidence and develop motions and strategy as coordinated team plays.

Locked Plays

Teams commit decisions using simulated Cap Points and Attorney Hours—not real money or legal services.

Standings

Earn points and compare team strategy. The first competitive Case Season is not yet open.
