I should note however that it could confirm townies in a different way as long as the investigator is also confirmed. If you already know NK is Serial Killer that Sheriff couldn't be WW, So you could examine NE next night and if it's witch or jester, thats a confirmed RT1 for you, otherwise you mightve just found the Executioner. This wouldnt work in the Coven gamemode though but there are other examples where you can combine with an Invest to narrow down roles effectively.

Archivist doesn't eliminate roles from the rolepool, he only confirms the existence of other roles. Late game this fact does mean that other roles are eliminated but he only really can do that around the 2nd or 3rd random town find, if he survives that long.
