Vancouver Laptop / Examination brief

A clear assignment starts before the evidence arrives.

Send a non-sensitive outline for procurement, preservation or an examination. The next step is a written scope with the responsible specialists, work location and handling requirements.

Prepare the scope brief

Keep this first contact concise.

Material and question

State the type of source and approximate volume. Describe the question to examine without including personal records, allegations, account credentials or evidence files.

Contract and handling

Identify the required work location, procurement route, delivery date and any security conditions. These determine whether an appropriate team and handling arrangement can be agreed.

Work products

Specify whether you need preservation, a technical report, relevant exports, a chronology or support for another examiner. Deliverables and acceptance criteria are agreed before work starts.
