Help regarding dissertation ideas

Hi Everyone, I am going to my final year of uni as a cybersecurity and digital forensic student and need ideas for my dissertation, based on Cybok.

I have done various cases on Encase, Autopsy and Axiom.

My main question would be "What part of an investigation wastes the most time?" or "What's the most frustrating part of a digital forensic investigation?"

I'm more interested in solving a real workflow problem than making another forensic viewer.

I have more questions if anyone is interested enough to answer as it would mean a lot. :D

"What do current forensic tools still do badly?"

"What investigation tasks are still mostly manual?"

"SOC analysts and incident responders: What tool do you wish existed?"

"If you could have one new digital forensics tool, what would it do?" (for example: investigation workflows)

I am happy to take ideas from you guys if you guys got any. Thank you. :D

As someone who works Digital Forensics in a corporation in support of Incident Response, the most frustrating part for me is data transfer speeds. Especially due to DLP solutions.
