Claim timeline reconstructor

Private Sensitive

Turns evidence into a defensible timeline, plus a dashboard for claim status sharing.

What I built

Preserved original timestamps with confidence levels.
Flagged gaps and delayed reporting without speculation.
Separated facts from commentary in the output.
Added photo evidence ingestion via filename parsing.
Generated dashboards and executive summaries for status sharing.

Context

Insurance support context · 80–120 sources

Stack

Python / PDF/EML/DOCX parsing / CLI tooling / Markdown/HTML outputs

Outcomes

Reduced review time by 40–60% while standardizing evidence labeling and provenance.
Preserved limited funds for evidence discovery phase when org was navigating a crisis.

Screenshots and examples use synthetic or redacted data.

Notes

Tooling write-up for organizing evidence. It does not provide legal advice or conclusions.

What this is / Who it’s for

Deterministic reconstruction of insurance claim timelines for internal review, board summaries, and insurer-facing discussions. It preserves what happened, when, and based on which source. No inference, no blame.

TL;DR

Ingests emails, PDFs, DOCX, and photo evidence (date from filename).
Outputs timelines, claim reports, dashboards, and executive summaries (Markdown/HTML).
Flags gaps and uncertainty; never smooths timelines.

Inputs and outputs

Inputs: EML/MSG/PST, PDF/DOCX, JPG/JPEG/PNG/TIF/TIFF/HEIC/WEBP.
Outputs: timelines, per-claim reports, executive summaries, dashboards, CSV/JSONL.

Generates a claims dashboard from action CSVs and internal notes: status, next actions, owners, and last evidence dates. Designed for sharing without mixing in non-evidence commentary.

Photo evidence support

Photo evidence can be ingested from a folder. Filenames with a date (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD) and optional claim ID become timeline events tagged as “Photo evidence” with “Inferred” confidence unless verified elsewhere.

CLI usage

claim-timeline run --input <folder> --output <dir>

Common flags: --photos, --actions, --notes, --calls, --keywords, --dates.
