Why does it take an entire class to build a character who is good at solving mysteries or tracking someone down? And why does it need to be done in exactly this way, instead of being a dedication feat line that any character can take? why can't someone who casts spells be a good investigator, or a cleric of Abadar be excellent at tracking down the con-man plying his trade in the markets? This would provide far more player options as a dedication than as it's own class.
This is a class that specializes in solving mysteries and tracking people down. It needs to be done as a class to fulfill the design goal of studying somebody in combat. Casters can be good investigators; either by their own means or eventually by taking the Investigator multiclass archetype.
There will be an investigator dedication archetype in the final product.
I'm playing a Rogue multiclassed into Alchemist, and the Investigator seems like just a weakened version of my character.
Considering many investigators will have nothing to do with alchemy, I don't really see how that's the case.
