Consistent report structure
Standardize how findings, citations, and exhibits appear so a new reviewer is not learning a new binder every time.
One app. Every source. Reports a reviewer can check.
Faster to write. Faster to review. That’s the ROI.
From program audits and inspector-general reviews to regulatory exams and legislative reports, CITE keeps source material, citations, and the narrative in one workspace. A reviewer can jump from a finding to the cited page. A short pilot on a few real reports will show the time save.
Keep statutes, inspections, interviews, and correspondence open while you draft. One-click citations tie each finding to the page behind it, so collation does not become a second project.
Use templates and snippets for audits, IG reviews, exams, and briefings. The editor is familiar to anyone who has used Word, without forcing a new case-management system.
Export a single interactive PDF that carries the narrative and clickable citations. Counsel, an IG shop, a legislature, or a partner agency can open it in an ordinary PDF reader.
Stop rebuilding exhibit binders before a hearing or supervisory review. The citation and the source stay connected from the first draft through handoff.
Hours not spent assembling the file come back as time for fieldwork, interviews, and the finding itself.
We offer a free pilot for organizations and agencies that want to run CITE on their own cases. Three to five source-intensive reports will show what faster writing and faster review are worth for your unit.
Works with the files you already have
No new case-management system
CITE is Windows desktop software. Import the documents you already keep on shared drives or in a records system. No API-level integration is required for typical use.
- Import common evidence and records formats, then cite as you write.
- Work offline when the network is restricted or unavailable.
- Timestamped citations keep a reviewer on the same page you used.
- Export an interactive PDF for counsel, an IG, a legislature, or a partner agency.
Built for Government and Oversight Teams
One record. One report. A reviewer who can check the page.
Whether the work is a program audit, an inspector-general review, a regulatory exam, or a report to a legislature, CITE keeps the finding tied to the source.
Templates for recurring work
Share templates for audits, exams, briefings, and IG memos. Sources stay in the project with the draft.
Handoffs without rebuilding the file
When a matter moves between analysts, counsel, or a partner agency, the linked PDF carries the narrative and the cited pages.
Review that does not chase folders
Interactive PDFs let a supervisor or outside reviewer jump from a citation to the source page.
Frequently Asked Questions
CITE is Windows desktop software you install locally. Download the free trial, then run CiteSetup.msi. When you first launch CITE, you can set up your license in the app—choose a free trial or a paid plan. You do not have to activate a license before you open CITE.

Yes. CITE allows for any CITE user to add tracked changes and comments, and exports interactive PDFs that make review faster and clearer. For other stakeholders, CITE creates an interactive linked PDF containing the report and source documents in a single file which can be read by anyone with a PDF reader.
Optionally. CITE does not require AI. If you connect a verified provider (ChatGPT or Gemini—using your account/API arrangement), you can use assisted actions such as summarize, rewrite, or extract key points on text you choose to send. That transmission goes to the provider you selected under that provider’s terms; it does not go to an in8development-hosted model. Do not connect AI, or send source material, unless that provider meets your security obligations. See Security for the shared-responsibility summary.
