BUYER LENS

01

Good reasons to start here

  • Vehicle, digital, media, or technical evidence may materially affect the matter.

  • Technical evidence must be handed to a qualified expert or decision-maker without overstating what it proves.
02

What to have defined

  • Documented authority to obtain, receive, preserve, or examine the evidence.
  • The best available original source and known provenance or custody history.
  • The precise technical question and any expert, litigation, retention, or disclosure constraints.
03

What this should inform

SERVICE FAQ

Procurement and operating questions.

Do you use a fixed photo checklist?

Client and matter requirements control the documentation set; MODLAN does not publish a universal photo count.

Can images be uploaded directly to a carrier platform?

Where an approved adapter and entitlement exist, that is part of the integration objective.

Can this support total-loss or repair review?

Documentation can support the authorized claims workflow, while valuation and coverage decisions remain within the applicable role.

Can the record be preserved for litigation?

The secure evidence architecture is designed to support controlled preservation, integrity, and audit history where the engagement requires it.

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.
