In art, science bears witness.
Traceable, time-stamped and reproducible material findings, documented end to end and built to withstand examination by the other side.
An authenticity dispute, an insurance claim, a customs seizure, a restitution action. In each, the question is not only what is known, but what can be established — and under what conditions of challenge.
A scientific report that the opposing party cannot re-run is not evidence. It is an illustrated opinion.
A measurement that can be re-run.
Acquisition conditions, instrument calibration, processing parameters, chain of custody: all of it is documented.
Raw data is kept separately from results. Every conclusion can therefore be re-examined, checked — and contradicted.
- A report structured for use in proceedings, separating findings from interpretation
- The complete technical file: protocols, calibrations, traceability
- Raw data supplied in a form a court-appointed expert can re-examine
- The laboratory's assistance during expert examination, in the presence of the parties
We do not produce irrefutable proof.
In most legal systems the court is not bound by a technical expert's findings, and that is as it should be. In France the rule is set out at article 246 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
What we produce is a refutable measurement — that is, a verifiable one. That is exactly what gives it weight before a court.
