Build faster.
Without a new ungoverned silo.
AI and low-code tooling are rapidly cutting the cost of creating dashboards, workflows and specialist applications. Trace Vantage is built for that future: Vantage Builder is the force's governed extension layer, where new capability inherits the platform's controls automatically instead of starting a new, unaccountable data island.
Six kinds of thing, one governed foundation.
Workflows
Force-specific process steps, approvals and handoffs layered onto core case and evidence records.
Dashboards
Command and performance views built from the same governed data, tailored to a team or role.
Case forms
Bespoke intake and assessment forms for a specialist unit or a jurisdiction-specific process.
Data connectors
Links to internal systems the force already runs, brought in under the same access and audit model.
Automation
Rules-based steps that remove manual handling without removing the record of what happened.
AI-assisted tools
Force-specific assistants built on the same governed AI modes, model register and audit trail as the core platform.
Seven stages, from idea to a monitored, versioned release.
Define
Scope the need and the data it touches.
Design
Build the workflow, form or dashboard in the workspace.
Test
Validate against realistic, synthetic case scenarios.
Approve
A named authority signs off before release.
Deploy
Released into live use inside the force environment.
Monitor
Usage and exceptions are visible to administrators.
Version
Changes are tracked, with rollback to a prior version available.
Design against real record types, not a blank canvas.
Built on real record types
Cases, entities, evidence and exhibits are first-class objects in Builder, not a copy the force has to reconcile later.
Governed by default
Every new workflow starts inside the same identity, audit and retention model, rather than opting in later.
Visible before it's live
Draft, test and approval status are visible to everyone who needs to sign off, before anything reaches operational use.
What every build gets automatically.
Every force-built capability inherits the governed foundation beneath it, rather than starting a new, unaccountable data island.
A build sits on top of the shared foundation and draws its identity, audit, provenance, evidence, retention, AI policy and access control from it, so new capability is an extension of the governed platform, never a separate island.
Identity
Authenticated access under the same identity and role model as the core platform.
Data
Authoritative case and entity records, one source of truth, not a copy.
Evidence
Provenance, hashing and chain of custody carried through into anything built on top.
Retention
Retention and disposal rules apply automatically, not re-implemented per project.
Audit
Every action, human or automated, lands in the same hash-chained, tamper-evident log.
AI policy
Local and approved-cloud models available only under the same policy and model-use declarations.
What forces have used Builder for.
Provider-return workflow
A structured intake and triage process for a specific class of provider return, matching local procedure.
Local risk-review application
A force-specific risk-assessment form and review workflow for a specialist unit.
OCG monitoring dashboard
A command view tracking organised-crime-group activity and disruption actions over time.
Specialist jurisdiction form
An intake form adapted to a jurisdiction's specific legal and reporting requirements.
Custom internal-system connector
A connector to an existing internal system, brought in under the platform's access and audit model.
Building, reviewing and releasing are separate roles.
Who may build
Force-nominated builders work in the Builder workspace under their existing platform identity and permissions.
Who may review
A designated reviewer checks a build against test results before it can be submitted for approval.
Who may approve
A named authority, set by the force, signs off before a build reaches live use.
Who may release
Release into production is a distinct, logged action, separate from approval.
Nothing ships without a way back.
Version history
Every change to a build is versioned, with the author and date recorded.
Test before release
Builds are validated against test scenarios before they can be submitted for approval.
Rollback
A prior version can be reinstated if a new release underperforms or needs to be withdrawn.
What the force builds, the force owns.
Workflows, forms, dashboards and connectors created in Builder belong to the force that built them, as part of its perpetually licensed deployment. They are not a separate product, and they are not held back if the force later changes its relationship with Trace Intel.
Build independently
Force-nominated builders can design, test and release capability themselves, within the permissions the force sets.
Or engage Trace Intel
For more complex builds, forces can engage Trace Intel's engineering team on a scoped, separately contracted basis, without changing how the result is owned or governed.
