Defining a "Win" Sometimes a win is an acceptable loss or a minor settlement, when weighed against costly battle that would most likely result in a large loss if taken to trial. Forensic reconstruction gives reliable data that helps clients chose the most viable win.
Documenting When it Matters Most You protect your chances of a better win by documenting the evidence before it is gone. Move quickly to capture the data, and then sit on it, if you wish. But collecting the evidence sets up a more reliable win later.
