WHEN THIS SERVICE FITS
Built around a defined operational question.
- Liability turns on witness accounts, scene conditions, sequence of events, or unresolved factual conflicts.
- The existing file needs additional fact development before an authorized liability or litigation decision.
- Counsel or claims needs source-attributed investigation rather than a conclusory summary.
SCOPE
What the engagement can include.
The exact scope is established by the authorized assignment, applicable licensing or professional requirements, and client guidelines.
OPERATING MODEL
Controlled from assignment through handoff.
Frame
Confirm the liability-sensitive questions and represented-party status before contact.
Develop
Obtain authorized statements, scene context, documents, and public-source facts using the applicable MODLAN standards.
Reconcile
Compare sources and chronology while keeping findings separate from legal conclusions.
Report
Return what was established, what conflicted, and what remains unresolved.
WORK PRODUCT
What the matter can produce.
- Source-attributed factual record
- Statements or interview references
- Chronology/context
- Unresolved issues and next-step recommendations
CONTROL BOUNDARY
What keeps the work defensible.
- MODLAN does not provide legal opinions unless the engagement is performed by appropriately authorized counsel.
- Represented-party contact follows documented counsel instruction.
- No pretexting or deceptive information gathering is used.
- Investigation findings are reported even when they support the claimant or insured.
SERVICE FAQ
Procurement and operating questions.
Is this the same as adjusting?
No. The service develops facts for the authorized decision-maker; claim authority remains defined by the engagement.
Can counsel direct the investigation?
Yes, with documented instructions and appropriate communication controls.
Can scene work and statements be combined?
Yes, when both are within the authorized scope.
Do you guarantee that evidence will be admitted?
No. Work is documented to support challenge and review, but admissibility is a court decision.

PROCUREMENT & IMPLEMENTATION
Questions to resolve before this service enters production.
Enterprise delivery depends on the operating context around the service—not merely the capability itself.
DECISION CONTEXT
This service does not operate in isolation.
The engagement should connect to the correct buyer, adjacent operating layer, and assurance boundary without blurring professional authority or the source of record.
ENTERPRISE JOURNEY
Connect this service to the rest of the operating model.
Move from service selection into the adjacent operational, evidence, integration, assurance, or intelligence layer that the matter actually requires.
