AI can unlock centuries of human knowledge written in free-flowing prose. It can run many technical processes at once. It expands our reach and accelerates our progress. What it cannot do is hold the opinion, because an opinion has to be owned by someone who can be cross-examined on it.
We build tools that scale institutional expertise: grounded in our own knowledge, transparent about their limits, designed to help our team orient faster.
The expert owns the conclusion. That is not a philosophical position; it is what makes an opinion defensible when it is challenged.
Confident output makes flaws harder to see. Reviewing AI-assisted work requires a different kind of attention than reviewing a spreadsheet.
Probabilistic, non-repeatable output breaks a defensibility model built on repeatability. Solvable through methodology, and not a reason to avoid the technology.
Disputes increasingly involve AI-generated or AI-influenced evidence: models trained on data that may have been improperly collected, outputs introduced without adequate validation, conduct mediated by systems no witness fully understands.
Those artifacts deserve the same rigor as any other. Evaluate, challenge, explain.
When we deploy AI, it meets the same standards of defensibility, transparency, and rigor as everything else we sign our name to.
Our writing on AI and evidence, in one place. A running library rather than a position statement.
When a decision-maker leans on a model, the questions counsel has to ask change shape.
What happens when the system itself, rather than the person operating it, becomes the subject of the dispute.
Forensic data validation when the artifact may have been generated rather than recorded.
Disclosure, hallucination, and what an expert can actually stand behind.
The earlier you understand the evidence, the better the decisions that follow.
The evidence is abundant. But volume is not access. Access is not understanding. And understanding is not an expert opinion.
Increasingly, evidence is buried across devices, applications, databases, cloud systems, transactions, and other complex sources. It must be found, preserved, made accessible, understood, and interpreted in the context of the matter. And when expert testimony is required, that understanding must support an independent, defensible opinion.
When important evidence surfaces late, assumptions may already have become strategy. When it is identified, tested, and understood early, your team can build its strategy around what can actually be shown. This isn’t just for trial. It is also for TROs, letters rogatory, discovery requests, subpoenas, depositions, summary judgment, mediation, and arbitration.
You bring the legal expertise. We bring the evidence expertise.
iDS combines technical, analytical, and subject-matter expertise to help you move from evidence to understanding, and, when necessary, from understanding to opinion and testimony.
You know the law. We help you know the evidence.
Tell us what you need to establish. We will tell you what the evidence shows, what it does not, and what it means for your case.
