SOPs for days

Just finished overhauling our standardized workflows for Cellular Data Analysis!

Whether you're mapping out pattern-of-life movements or preparing for trial, standardization is the key to surviving cross-examination. I’ve broken down our complex data workflows into three core pillars to ensure everything from intake to the witness stand is forensically sound:

1. Data Acquisition & Normalization Establishing strict chain of custody, hashing raw carrier files, and standardizing raw CDRs and Tower Dumps (cleaning headers, standardizing time zones, and prepping provider keys).

2. CASTViz Import & Analysis Standardizing our import procedures for FBI CASTViz. This includes strict naming conventions, handling "unmapped" cell sites, mapping target locations based on sector azimuths, and generating temporal animations.

3. Courtroom Exhibit Preparation Turning complex data into unbiased, jury-friendly visuals. Every exhibit must include mandatory elements (legends, coverage disclaimers, source citations) and pass a rigorous, line-by-line peer review tracing every dot on the map back to the raw carrier records.

Solid data in, solid evidence out.
