Method

Read everything. Cite everything.

Four steps take a record from disclosure to figures. Nothing is asserted that cannot be traced back through them.

The method

Four steps. Each one auditable.

01

Ingest

Every document indexed. Nothing sampled.

02

Reconstruct

Dated events linked into chains of cause and effect, each link anchored to its documents.

03

Attribute

Each link assigned to a party, a mechanism and a period.

04

Quantify

Time and cost follow from the chain, citations intact.

What the method does not do

The software does not form the opinion.

It establishes the facts and shows its working. The expert reads, tests and decides. That division is deliberate, and it is disclosed.

Limits, stated plainly

Opinion

Attribution and its consequences are the expert’s. The software lays out the record; it does not conclude.

Gaps

Where the record is silent, the analysis says so. Nothing is inferred to fill a gap.
