Evidence standards
Evidence is only worth what it survives.
Footage that can't establish continuity, notes written days later, reports that read like advocacy — that's how carriers lose files they should have won. Our standard is built backwards from the disclosure room.
- 01
Contemporaneous notes
Field notes are written as events happen — time-stamped, sequential, and preserved as-is. Notes reconstructed after the fact die in cross-examination; ours don't have to be reconstructed.
- 02
Unaltered originals
Source video and photographs are preserved exactly as captured, hashed at ingest, and vaulted. Working copies are made for review; the original never gets touched.
- 03
Unbroken chain of custody
Every exhibit carries a custody record from capture to delivery: who collected it, where it lived, who accessed it. The continuity questions counsel will ask are answered before they're asked.
- 04
Objective reporting
Reports are third-person, chronological, and factual. We document what was observed — favourable or not. Adjudicators trust the report because it isn't written to please anyone.
- 05
Media indexed to the narrative
Every clip and still is indexed against the report timeline and the custody log, so an examiner, mediator, or court can find the source of any stated fact in seconds.
- 06
Lawful methods, documented
Collection grounds are documented per file under PIPEDA's investigation provisions. Public vantage points only, proportionate scope, no pretext entry, one-party-consent recording only.
