Google Docs add-on

See how a message guides interpretation.

FORENSICA analyzes selected text through three complementary indices—Framing Intensity, Information Support, and Structural Stability—and turns the result into a structured document workflow.

Select a passage in Google Docs, run one analysis, and review the result without leaving the document.

Three complementary indices

Direction, substantiation, and reasoning coherence.

FORENSICA examines three different properties of the selected message. Framing provides the first analytical orientation; Support and Stability add complementary evidentiary and structural context.

Lead descriptive index

Framing Intensity

Measures how strongly the text guides interpretation toward a particular view, judgment, or outcome. Higher scores indicate stronger directional emphasis.

Evidentiary support index

Information Support

Measures how clearly the text backs its claims with specific, traceable information. Higher scores indicate stronger substantiation.

Structural coherence index

Structural Stability

Measures how consistently the text’s reasoning holds together from claim to conclusion. Higher scores indicate greater coherence.

Each index describes a different property of the message. Read the three indices together and in relation to the message’s purpose, audience, and context. No single index represents the message as a whole.
Document workflow

Select. Analyze. Review. Report.

FORENSICA works with the passage the user selects and keeps the analytical workflow inside Google Docs.

01

Select

Highlight the passage you want to examine in the active Google Doc.

02

Analyze

Run FORENSICA and receive the three indices with a structured explanation.

03

Review

Read the Key Insight, metrics, Assessment, and supporting report sections in context.

04

Report

Append the report to the current document or export it as a separate Google Doc.

Reusable output

Reports that retain their source context.

Successful analyses are retained in the configured Report Archive. Appended and exported reports include the selected source context and a complete guide for reading the metrics.

One analysis, several useful forms

A
Report Archive

Return to prior analyses through the configured Google Drive workspace.

+
Append Report

Add the complete report to the active Google Doc.

Export Report

Create a separate, readable Google Doc for review or sharing.

Source context stays with the report

The exact selected passage is retained with a successful analysis in the user’s configured Google Drive archive. Reports show source type, character length, source-integrity information, a bounded source preview, and the complete selected source in Appendix A.

Each appended and exported report also includes the complete “How to Read the Metrics” guide, so the document remains understandable without access to the sidebar.

Current availability

SCOUT

SCOUT is the currently available FORENSICA profile. It provides five included analysis units, and each completed SCOUT analysis uses one unit.

Setup and support

During the current testing period, installation is available to invited participants. Public Marketplace installation will follow approval.

Where it fits

Practical document-level analysis.

FORENSICA is useful whenever a selected passage needs a consistent explanation of interpretive direction, substantiation, and reasoning structure.

Communication review

Examine public statements, institutional messages, briefings, or draft responses before circulation.

Research and education

Apply the same three-index framework to media texts, academic material, and classroom examples.

Reusable analytical records

Create structured reports from selected passages for later comparison, discussion, or document review.

Essential questions

Understanding FORENSICA.

Concise answers for first-time users and reviewers.

What does FORENSICA analyze?

FORENSICA analyzes only the text that the user explicitly selects and submits in Google Docs. The rest of the document is not included in that analysis request.

Why is Framing the lead descriptive index?

Framing provides the first analytical orientation by showing the direction and strength of the interpretation encouraged by a message. Information Support and Structural Stability then add complementary information about substantiation and reasoning coherence.

What does a higher Framing score mean?

A higher score indicates stronger directional emphasis. The result should be read in relation to the message’s purpose, audience, and context.

Why should the three indices be read together?

Each index describes a different property of the message. Together they show interpretive direction, substantiation, and reasoning coherence. No single index represents the message as a whole.

What is retained with a report?

A successful archive record retains the exact selected source, its character length and source-integrity information, the generated analysis, and report provenance in the user’s configured Google Drive workspace.

What is the difference between Report Archive, Append Report, and Export Report?

Report Archive retains successful analyses for later retrieval. Append Report adds the report to the active Google Doc. Export Report creates a separate readable Google Doc.
