These tools turn the archive stance into repeatable workflows. They help separate what was claimed, what was documented, what controls are missing, and what a skeptical reviewer should ask before treating footage or samples as evidence.
Claims
Effect Claims Explorer
Compare each claimed Hutchison phenomenon against footage notes, replication status, ordinary explanations, and an archive verdict.
Open toolFootage
Video Evidence Checklist
Score anomaly footage for camera continuity, cuts, wires, independent witnesses, chain of custody, and negative-run logging.
Open toolTimeline
Interactive Timeline
Filter dated Hutchison claims, demos, publications, correspondence, military-interest records, and replication gaps.
Open toolPrivacy and scope
The tools do not upload video, files, notes, or ratings. They are designed for local evaluation and source literacy: stronger inputs mean stronger historical provenance, not automatic validation of extraordinary physics.
