Your Deep Dives: Archived, Organized, Always Ready
Is your painstaking investigative work—meticulous research, complex data analyses, sensitive source interviews—scattered across different platforms, cloud drives, or vulnerable local storage? As an Investigative Contributor, presenting a compelling case for your skills often requires more than just links to published work, but compiling evidence manually is a frustrating detour from the investigation itself.
This disorganization makes it incredibly difficult to quickly demonstrate the rigor of your methodology or the full impact of your findings to editors, funders, or collaborators. Key published work samples can become inaccessible, and the context behind them lost, hindering your ability to secure grants, land impactful assignments, or build the trust necessary for sensitive reporting. Relying on scattered files is simply not sustainable.

Our platform helps consolidate your published articles and allows secure uploading of research materials, creating permanent backups. Gain a searchable archive, an effortlessly updated Investigative Contributor portfolio to showcase your expertise, analytics on public pieces, and the professional credibility that underpins groundbreaking investigative work. Focus on uncovering the truth; Authory ensures your evidence is always organized and protected.
