A fixed sequence, applied to every matter. It exists so that conclusions can be audited: what was read, in what order, what was examined, and what the material could not establish.

In Detail
Two disciplines:reading and examining.

Safeguards
Confidential bydefault. Limitedby design.
The value of a medico-legal opinion lies as much in what it refuses to claim as in what it concludes. Our working safeguards are stated openly so clients know precisely what to expect from a file.
