 But Exonerator at present (and as proposed) requires a datestamp to
 produce any output at all. An investigator will input the datestamp of
 the incident.
You still have not explained why you think an investigator will want
easily to be able to access the status at some other time (other than
pure curiosity) - any more than they would want to know e.g the user of
a dynamic IP at some time other than that of an incident .
