Suggestion that is a minimal modification from current system: Instead of the odd "no Investigator's duties exist unless the crime happened" method, simply state that the investigator must (in timely fashion) make a self-ratifying statement as to whether there was a crime or not (and create blots/other punishment if there was a crime). Also, further clarify that if the investigator gives eir reasons for the findings in good faith (suggested theme: the Investigator has a week to Assemble the Suspects in the Drawing Room), it's basically a "best guess" and e can't be punished if e's wrong. Then, any doubters (including the Referee) can just use CoEs, and the procedure follows the regular "create or refer to a CFJ to resolve the matter" process. -G.
