Roadmap

What's next.

Public, opinionated, in flux. Things move from Exploring → Near-term → In flight → Changelog.

In flight

Per-case credit pricing

growth

Stripe metered billing for solo PIs running fewer than ~5 cases/month. Pay $9/case after a small monthly base — better economics for low-volume users than the Starter plan.

Sample report PDF

growth

Auto-generated branded PDF of the demo case, hosted at /downloads/sample-report.pdf. Lets prospects evaluate the work product without signing up.

Annual plans (-20%)

growth

Standard annual pricing for shops that prefer one invoice per year. Stripe price IDs already provisioned.

Resend domain verification

platform

Wire up the production Resend account so transactional emails (invites, password resets, billing alerts, monitor digests) actually send. Setup walkthrough already lives at /dashboard/admin/email-setup.

Near-term (1–3 months)

More OSINT sources

data

Companies House (UK), SAYARI, Pipl, IntelTechniques module, regional court systems beyond the US. Roughly +12 workers in the pipeline.

Worker SDK

platform

Plug your own OSINT data source into the enrichment pipeline. Useful for shops with niche or proprietary feeds (private breach corps, paid PI databases).

Public status page

platform

Status + uptime + planned-maintenance announcements at status.trytracelight.com. Currently we just get paged on incidents — the next stage is making availability visible.

Mobile-first dashboard polish

platform

Most of the dashboard works on mobile but the experience could be much better — investigation review on the train, alerts on the go.

More vs/* comparison + use-case pages

growth

Skip-tracing, expert-witness vetting, litigation support, claim mill detection. SEO-targeted to capture every long-tail OSINT search.

Exploring (3–9 months)

SOC 2 Type II

compliance

Architecture is SOC 2-ready (encryption, RLS isolation, audit logging, no shared infra). Formal audit takes ~6 months and ~$50k. Trigger: 5+ enterprise customers asking.

On-prem deployment

platform

Some shops need investigation data to never leave their infrastructure (classified work, certain regulated verticals). Considering a Docker-Compose self-hosted package alongside the SaaS.

API-only tier

growth

Headless Tracelight for shops that want to wire OSINT enrichment into their existing case-management system without using our dashboard at all.

Native mobile apps

platform

iOS + Android. The web dashboard works on mobile but a native app would be better for alert-driven workflows.

ICAC / law-enforcement tier

growth

We deliberately scope to civilian investigators today. A dedicated law-enforcement product (separate brand, separate compliance posture) is on the table once the core product is stable.

How this roadmap works

In flight = work happening this sprint. Will likely ship in days or a couple of weeks.
Near-term = on the next 1–3 month plan. Subject to reordering based on what customers ask for.
Exploring= items we're thinking about but haven't committed to. Tell us if any of them are showstoppers for your team.
