01

The problem

A major dispute buries the truth in its own record.

Hundreds of thousands of documents. Establishing what caused what is still done by hand, over months. Three things go wrong.

i

It costs a fortune

Senior hourly rates against a record that does not shrink.

ii

It takes forever

Months between instruction and report. The analysis arrives too late to change the dispute.

iii

It is attacked where it is weakest

The other side goes for every assertion that cannot be traced to a document and a date.

What the software does

The record, read in full.

Every assertion carries its source: the document, the location inside it, the date. Quantum follows from the same reconstruction.

Origin

Where the delay began, and in which document it first appears.

Sequence

The order of events, reconciled across every dated source.

Attribution

Whose act or omission each link rests on, and under which mechanism.

Whose act or omission each link rests on, and under which mechanism.

Quantum

Time and cost, derived from the same chain with the same citations.

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.

04

Evidence and provenance

Nothing is asserted that cannot be opened and read.

Every assertion carries five things: document, location, date, custodian and hash. Opposing counsel can check it. So can the tribunal.

Provenance record — carried by every assertion
