Engagement approach

Scope first. Then the technology.

Every matter begins by defining the actual question, the available evidence, the limits of the data, and the most efficient forensic path forward.

A

Define

Identify the legal or investigative question, devices or data sources, deadlines, and preservation concerns.

B

Examine

Use appropriate forensic methods and tools while documenting the workflow, limitations, and relevant findings.

C

Explain

Translate technical artifacts into a clear narrative without overstating what the evidence can prove.

D

Support

Provide follow-up consultation, case review, reporting, and technical preparation as the matter progresses.
