Define the scope
Establish the question, authority to examine and permitted use. Identify the responsible examiner and reporting audience.

WORKFLOW / FROM QUESTION TO FINDING
One evidence journey.
Every step considered.
Follow a forensic examination workflow from a defined question and source preservation to suitable analysis, documented findings and technical reporting.
Preserve source records, select suitable methods and maintain a traceable examination workflow.
Purposeful intake. Suitable analysis. Human review.

01 / THE EXAMINATION PATH
Start with the question.
Keep the source in view.
A practical framework for planning an examination. The sequence and required checks depend on the evidence and selected method.
Preserve the source
Retain native files where available. Record acquisition context, specimen identifiers and file hashes; separate originals from derivatives.
RecordSource & specimen inventory
Check suitability
Confirm formats, resolution, capture conditions and reference quantities. An unsuitable input can justify an inconclusive result.
RecordInput quality & references
Select the analyses
Choose methods that answer the question. Record versions, settings and preprocessing, including relevant validation limits.
RecordMethods & analytical outputs
Review the findings
Inspect outputs alongside the source. Test competing explanations, address conflicts and qualify what the evidence can support.
RecordExaminer reasoning & limits
Prepare the report
Connect findings to exhibits and record method limits, report versions and release states.
RecordReviewed report & exhibits
02 / METHOD SELECTION
The evidence determines
the approach.
Complementary analyses can add perspective, but shared inputs or failure modes can make their signals dependent. Review each output on its own terms.
Explore the AI-assisted approach →Is the required signal present?
A signature photograph cannot supply real writing dynamics. Optical enhancement depends on the correct lighting; other methods depend on a specific file format.
What does this method report?
Separate raw measurements, screening flags, similarity scores and calibrated evidential outputs. They answer different questions.
Can the result support this case?
Check the validation population, evidence quality and alternative explanations before forming a conclusion.
03 / BEFORE EVIDENCE TRANSFER
Agree the handling.
Then begin the examination.
Use the initial enquiry to define the engagement and confirm how the evidence should be submitted.
Authority & access
Identify who may submit, examine, review and receive the material. Document permissions and any restrictions.
Transfer & retention
Agree the approved channel, processing locations, retention, deletion and legal-hold arrangements.
Scope & delivery
Confirm suitable methods, report format, review responsibilities and what would require further work.
The public website accepts general enquiries rather than evidence attachments. A demonstration or enquiry does not itself create an examination engagement. A file hash records identity; it does not establish the truth of the content.
