Authority before collection
Purpose, client authority, jurisdiction, licensure, and method are reviewed before work begins.
Professional Standards
Source-linked, reviewable, and bounded.
Every engagement begins with authority and scope. Every conclusion retains its basis, confidence, contradictions, and unresolved gaps.
Sources remain visible
Findings retain their source, date, reliability, and handling limits.
Evidence and inference stay separate
Observed facts, reported information, analysis, and uncertainty are identified distinctly.
Alternatives are tested
Plausible explanations are compared against supporting and conflicting information.
Collection is proportionate
Methods are selected because they answer the requirement, not because they are available.
Human judgment remains accountable
Automation may assist organization and review; a responsible person owns the conclusion and release.
Public regulatory references
Licensure and assignment authority are confirmed for the work and jurisdiction before an engagement is accepted.
