THE INVESTIGATIVE SCOPE
365 ALTERAM scopes independent behavioural examination review for serious and complex criminal matters. Structure interview recordings, transcripts, contextual records and the behavioural propositions relied on in the case. Identify where a qualified forensic psychologist, psychiatrist or other relevant specialist is needed and define the specific referral question. We define the question, available material and required specialist competence before proposing the work.
Examine whether conclusions rest on documented observations, validated assessment or assumption. Review interview conditions, interpretation, communication needs and alternative explanations without presenting demeanour as a reliable lie detector.

When apparent behaviour is used to infer intent, credibility or a person’s role in serious offending, unsupported interpretation can carry considerable weight. 365 ALTERAM can separate observation from speculation and help counsel obtain the right specialist assessment.
Profiling and demeanour do not establish guilt. Diagnosis, capacity and risk assessments require appropriately qualified professionals and cannot be inferred from an initial enquiry or isolated behaviour.
When decades of liberty are at stake, every decisive forensic inference deserves independent scrutiny.
WHEN LIBERTY IS AT STAKE
When apparent behaviour is used to infer intent, credibility or a person’s role in serious offending, unsupported interpretation can carry considerable weight. 365 ALTERAM can separate observation from speculation and help counsel obtain the right specialist assessment.
For allegations carrying very long or life imprisonment, our role is to connect this discipline to the precise disputed act, identify what can be tested and provide counsel with a clear route back to the source. We preserve findings that support, weaken or leave the allegation unresolved.

The BALANCE-7 approachWe clarify the material issue, available records, authority and jurisdictions before proposing the work.
The agreed workstreams connect sources, test reasoning and identify what remains unresolved.
Counsel receives a scoped record of the analysis, supporting exhibits and material limitations.
BEFORE YOU INSTRUCT
No such claim is made. 365 ALTERAM scopes, coordinates and integrates independent forensic review. Medical examinations, laboratory testing and reserved expert opinions are assigned to appropriately qualified practitioners or laboratories under an agreed instruction. Availability, authority and any relevant accreditation scope are checked for the actual work.
The agreed report identifies the source for each material finding, separates facts from inference and records the specialist’s methods and limitations. Counsel can use it to formulate expert questions, seek further material or consider a properly supported challenge. Legal use and admissibility are assessed in the relevant jurisdiction.
Yes. Independence means reporting supportive, adverse and inconclusive findings consistently. We examine the record rather than promising a defence-favourable answer. Qualified counsel directs legal strategy and the court determines the use and weight of the evidence.
Start with a neutral summary, relevant jurisdictions, procedural dates and the disputed forensic question. Do not send sensitive records through an initial enquiry. Scope, fees, lawful access, confidentiality and evidence-transfer arrangements are agreed before substantive work.
No acquittal, sentence reduction, recovery or specific expert finding is guaranteed. Work is subject to lawful authority, specialist availability, competence and the material preserved. Original sources, handling history, analytical assumptions and limitations remain traceable.
