⏳ The Reichenbach Timeline
🩺 A Dr. John Watson tool — Chronicler, physician, first reader
Watson kept the dates straight so the world could follow the cases. Paste an incident report, a legal narrative, meeting notes, a post-mortem, or a chapter of history — events in any order — and get a clean interactive timeline of who did what, when. Click any participant to follow their thread alone. Contradictions that hide in paragraphs die on timelines.
✅ Free to use — no account, nothing to configure.
What it does
Strict chronology
Events sorted by time even when the story tells them out of order.
Per-person threads
Click an entity and everything they weren't part of fades away.
Weighted moments
Pivotal events glow; minor colour shrinks politely into context.
