What do you want to investigate?
Every investigation starts with something you already know. Choose what you have and Folio will show you the published record.
Six ways to start an investigation

Common investigation paths
Each path opens a launcher that shows what Folio holds and what to do first.
How investigations work
Four steps, every time
Folio is not a search engine over opinion. It is the published record, joined on official identifiers, with every gap stated.
- 1Start with one fact.
- 2Open the official record.
- 3Follow the published relationships.
- 4Save evidence into an investigation.
Start from a question
Investigations people run every day
Each question opens the part of Folio that answers it.
Overnight intelligence
What changed overnight
Newly indexed authoritative records, grouped by the body that published them. Every line links straight to the publisher's own record.
Follow the evidence
One thread through today's record
Folio's method, shown rather than described: separate publishers, one continuous line of evidence, each link kept attached to the record it came from.
Assembling today's trail…
Today
Across the record
Parliamentary, government and local activity published today — each column a separate publisher, each line a primary source.
Your workspace
Continue investigating
Pick up an open case file, or check what moved on the entities you watch. Everything you save stays attached to its source.

The corpus, live
Counts measured from the database itself — never estimated, never hardcoded. Loaders run continuously and every figure moves with them.
