EVIDENCEAUTHENTICATION.

Authenticating digital evidence for court depends on a documented chain of custody, a method another expert can repeat, and honest statements of what the analysis cannot show. Tools support the expert; the court decides weight and admissibility.

[ 01 ]

Custody first

Exhibits are hashed and sealed at intake, and each access is logged with who, when and why.

[ 02 ]

Reproducible method

The report lists inputs, hashes, software versions and parameters so an opposing expert can rerun the analysis and compare results.

[ 03 ]

State the limits

Each finding should say what the sensor cannot show. Overstated certainty is a common reason expert evidence is challenged.

[ 04 ]

Admissibility

Rules differ by jurisdiction. SpearTrace makes no admissibility claim, and counsel should advise on local standards.
