Why this grade
This listing scored 40/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on freshness.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Freshness 0 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
-15 Ghost-job penalty — Deducted for signals that this posting may not be a real, currently-open role — staleness, repeated relisting, or talent-pool language.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
hn-hiring
Investigators across legal, corporate, insurance, and private sectors are stuck with enterprise case management platforms charging $100+ per seat with 20-seat minimums and lengthy contracts just for their basic package.
Meanwhile, 50,000 small investigative agencies, 100,000 corporate/insurance investigators, and 400,000 small-firm attorneys are forced into a patchwork of Word, Excel, Canva, Hunchly, and half a dozen disconnected apps just to get basic casework done. It destroys workflow and breaks evidence integrity.
CaseLight solves this by building a secure case management and evidence retention system where cases live on the investigator’s hardware, data never leaves their control, metadata stays intact, nothing gets overwritten, and there’s no cloud or subscription trap.
Pricing is $50/month to intentionally disrupt a market way overdue for it, and we already have investigators ready to adopt once the system is fully hardened.
This isn’t SaaS or hype; it’s durable infrastructure built for people who actually handle evidence. I’ve already done the major lift — prototype, architecture, workflows, UX, and core logic. What’s left is tuning, hardening, and security work. I need a developer who understands durable systems, crash recovery, data integrity, metadata preservation, and security as a baseline. If you’ve built systems where failure is unacceptable and data protection is non-negotiable, we should talk.
