LEGAL &COURTS.

When recordings and documents are challenged, method matters. SpearTrace produces reports that list hashes, parameters and software versions, so an expert can explain the result and an opposing expert can repeat it.

[ 01 / Paradigm shift ]

Target vs Reality

Current

Authenticity Disputes

Each side hires an expert, tools hide their method and the court faces competing opinions about the same file.

Target

Reproducible Reports

Findings come with inputs, versions and parameters, and each states what the sensor cannot show.

[ 02 / Method ]

Expert workflow

  1. 01Receive

    Exhibits arrive with their source and handling record.

  2. 02Seal

    Hash and time are fixed before analysis.

  3. 03Examine

    Sensors and expert notes are logged.

  4. 04Report

    A signed export packages findings, hashes and log.

Expert Examination Pipeline

Control planeAnalysis plane

  1. 01Exhibit Intake

    FILE + PROVENANCE

    Exhibits are logged with source and handler.

  2. 02Seal & Hash

    SHA-256 · WORM

    The original is hashed and written to write-once storage. All later steps read copies.

  3. 03Sensor Bank

    CLASSICAL · INDEPENDENT

    Independent forensic sensors measure the file and report what they observed, with settings.

  4. 04Expert Review

    NOTES · DECISIONS

    The expert accepts, rejects or annotates each finding.

  5. 05Signed Report

    REPRODUCIBLE

    Report lists inputs, versions and parameters for a second expert to repeat.

  6. Control plane / TAMPER-EVIDENT

    Custody Ledger

    Every action on an exhibit is appended to the log.

  7. Control plane / ROLES

    Access & Policy

    Matter-level permissions and audit trail.

EXHIBITHANDLING

Intake and sealing of digital exhibits.

HASH · SOURCE · TIME

Seal first, analyse second.

RECORD
Source, handler and time are written at intake.
SEAL
Originals sit in write-once storage.
TRIAGE
A sensor sweep shows where to look first.

EXPERTWORKBENCH

A place for the expert to review output and record decisions.

OVERLAYS · NOTES

The expert decides, the system records.

REVIEW
Overlays and timelines sit beside the original.
NOTE
Findings are accepted, rejected or annotated.
LOG
Each decision carries name, time and version.

DISCLOSUREPACK

Reports prepared for disclosure and cross-examination.

SIGNED · PARAMETERS

Disclose the method as well as the result.

EXPORT
Signed PDF and JSON with hashes and log.
REPEAT
Parameters let another expert rerun the analysis.
LIMITS
Each finding states what it cannot show.
[ 04 / Reference patterns ]

Reference scenarios

CIVIL

Disputed voice message

A report that explains the measurement and its limits.

CRIMINAL

Challenged CCTV clip

A reproducible analysis and custody log.

ARBITRATION

Altered contract scan

Document sensors mark edited regions.

[ 05 / Delivery & deployment ]

From design to delivery

A workstation or small server for an expert practice or court unit. Training and documentation are included.

[ 06 / Questions ]

Common questions

How does SpearTrace help legal & courts teams?

When recordings and documents are challenged, method matters. SpearTrace produces reports that list hashes, parameters and software versions, so an expert can explain the result and an opposing expert can repeat it.

What changes compared with the current approach?

Each side hires an expert, tools hide their method and the court faces competing opinions about the same file. Findings come with inputs, versions and parameters, and each states what the sensor cannot show.

Can it run on-premise or air-gapped?

Yes. Analysis runs on your own hardware, and the platform can be installed with no connectivity. Reports are exported as signed PDF and machine-readable JSON.
