About the screenshots and illustrations
Application screens are selected from the September 2026 Acorn screenshot pack. Captions distinguish native setup views, constructed training records and public-corpus results. They are not private client cases, and a displayed control does not establish that every operation was completed.
Relevant public sources include DeepBlueCLI training event logs and Plaso test data. Check the relevant source terms before redistributing an underlying dataset.
Workspace scenes and sector mascot variants are generated illustrations. They do not show actual police, judicial, military or university deployments or endorsements. The original Squirrel Forensics identity is retained.
