Green is something the product does. Red is something it does not. The Axon Justice column is what Axon advertises for Axon Justice, Brief One, Auto-Transcribe, Redaction, and Axon Investigate. The NiCE column is what NiCE advertises for prosecutor evidence management and Evidencentral AI. Their 911 call-center tools are not in this column. Neither column is a guess, and the Axon column does not score Axon Records.

Storage is unlimited. Archived video is 50 cents an hour per year, and documents, audio, and images stay with the case. An agency sends body-camera files in through a portal. Axon camera files carry their own timestamps, and those line the cameras up. The audit log cannot be rewritten: uploads, views, playback, downloads, redactions, and disclosures are recorded, and a disclosure produces a certificate of what was sent. A prosecutor still decides. Prosecutor IQ is paid up front for 12 months, and the office can cancel when those 12 months end. NiCE does not publish a required term. Signed public orders for NiCE Justice are usually five years, and the service cannot be canceled in the middle of that term.
Cited to the record
The agents cite every fact they put on the case. A name, a date, a statement, and a draft each point back to the page, the quote, or the moment in the recording. You open the source from the cite.
AI native
The reading, the witness list, the chronology, the marked moments, and the draft are the product. They are not a chat window added to a system that was built to store records. Axon Justice and NiCE hold the file. Prosecutor IQ does the work inside it.
The whole file, one case
Documents, audio, video, and images land on the case they belong to. The office stops chasing the file across drives, inboxes, and thumb drives.
Extraction
The file is read. Names, dates, statements, and deadlines come out of it and into a record the office can use. The machine is doing the part it is good at: pulling the facts out of the pile.
Organization
What used to live in one prosecutor's notes lives on the case. Who the witnesses are, what is charged and when, which counsel represents which defendant, and what the office still has to do. Each of those facts cites the place in the file it came from. People see the same record.
Analysis, not a theory
Statements are checked against the rest of the file. Conflicts and gaps are surfaced with a place to look, not a conclusion. The system does not pick a theory of the case and it does not tell you what to charge.
Drafts the prosecutor owns
Motions and research come back as drafts. The prosecutor accepts, edits, or discards each one. When a person edits machine text, the original is kept, so the office can see what changed. Nothing is filed, disclosed, or sent in the office's name by the system.
