Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as an Expert Witness?

No. Our work product is confidential and provided behind-the-scenes for your education and knowledge. With our analysis, you are armed with the information you need to negotiate higher settlements or win in court.

Why wouldn't I just use AI?

AI tools can generate medical summaries and chronologies quickly, but speed without accuracy is a liability. AI alone cannot replace the clinical judgment, contextual understanding, and professional accountability that complex cases require. We review AI-generated outputs line by line against the original records, identifying and correcting errors and omissions before final delivery.
