THE INVESTIGATIVE SCOPE
In major criminal proceedings, the threat of a very long or life sentence makes rigorous examination of expert evidence essential. 365 ALTERAM brings disciplined case reconstruction, specialist coordination and cross-disciplinary analysis to the questions that may decide a person’s future. We examine the route from an observation to an allegation, identify assumptions and gaps, and organise findings so that counsel can challenge or substantiate the evidential account.
A source association is not always proof of an activity. A timestamp is not always the time of the alleged act. Several reports may rely on the same untested premise. We identify the specific propositions the evidence must support and the examinations needed to test them.
The mandate defines the questions, authority, available material and relevant jurisdictions. Appropriate specialists examine their own fields; 365 ALTERAM connects their findings in one chronology and hypothesis matrix, with disagreements and dependencies visible.
We do not represent every discipline as an in-house laboratory capability. Testing, clinical examinations and specialist opinions are scoped with appropriately qualified providers. Suitability, lawful access and applicable accreditation scope are assessed before an instruction is accepted.
An agreed package of source-indexed findings, expert questions, technical reports or memoranda, exhibits, limitations and a prioritised plan for further investigation. The objective is a record that can withstand scrutiny, regardless of whether a finding helps or challenges the defence account.
365 ALTERAM can make a profound difference by making the decisive evidential question visible, examinable and answerable.

HOW AN INSTRUCTION BEGINS
The BALANCE-7 approachWe clarify the material issue, available records, authority and jurisdictions before proposing the work.
The agreed workstreams connect sources, test reasoning and identify what remains unresolved.
Counsel receives a scoped record of the analysis, supporting exhibits and material limitations.
BEFORE YOU INSTRUCT
No. The contribution is independent examination of evidence, methods and reasoning. A material error, limitation or alternative explanation can change the evidential picture, but no legal outcome is promised.
This directory covers the requested disciplines and the review workstreams that can be scoped around them. It is not an exhaustive classification of forensic science. Further specialist needs are assessed individually.
Yes, subject to lawful access, conflicts, suitable expertise and agreed scope. An initial instruction can identify the source records needed to examine its methods and conclusions.
Legal advice and representation remain with qualified counsel. Specialist availability and suitability are verified for each instruction. No institutional affiliation, in-house laboratory accreditation or case success rate is implied.
