01: Pillars
Evidence that holds under examination
Written reports alone are insufficient where oral testimony and methodological rigor determine admissibility.
Field-verified intelligence
Country conditions grounded in open-source intelligence, institutional reporting, and documented field experience: not secondary paraphrase.
FRE 702 / CPR 35 readiness
Methodology structured for FRE 702 and Daubert (US) and Ikarian Reefer / CPR Part 35 (UK), and adaptable to other international forums.
Hearing-ready oral testimony
Live testimony prepared for cross-examination: source maps, nexus frameworks, and transparent limitations.
02: Workstreams
Expert evidence services
Each instruction is scoped to forum, nexus, and deliverable: written, oral, or both.
03: Independence
