Assignments follow our structured 10-stage lifecycle: non-confidential intake, conflict screening, scope memo approval, assignment to specialist researchers, execution under documented protocols, and multi-tier quality sign-off.
Every exhibit entry is independently verified against original file metadata (MD5/SHA256 hashes, creation timestamps) to prevent transcription errors or evidentiary corruption.
We do not perform physical hardware acquisitions, act as accredited forensic laboratory examiners, or provide expert witness testimony unless specifically contracted and independently certified. Our work is strictly evidentiary organization and documentation support.
