Cataphora - Plaintiffs

Plaintiffs

Plaintiff's counsel must tell a convincing story based upon credible and established fact. In this era of almost insurmountable volumes and complexity of produced documents and data, analyzing information one document at a time leaves too many stones unturned. Cataphora's technology and applied expertise can quickly find the right stones to look under. We can cost-effectively answer factual questions by revealing patterns of previously unexplored evidentiary trails and by demonstrating the causal relationships between actors and already uncovered pieces of evidence.

Identify and authenticate more evidence

Who wrote it? Who ever saw it? Find the people involved in the production and distribution of each

document, and you will discover the real inter-relationships between documents and witnesses.

Establish the level of witness credibility

Has the behavior of the witness been self-contradictory? Has the witness been telling different stories to different people? Sentiment analysis can examine a range of factors to determine the tone of communications.

Organize causally related series of items and events to find meaning

What can a phone log or one-word Instant Message mean? Discussions™ create regularity in chaotic, unstructured data by organizing cryptic or otherwise ambiguous items to be analyzed in context.

Elucidate dense communication patterns by topic

Why did key witnesses pay special attention to a particular topic? Interactive color-coded graphs show relative communication densities for apples to apples comparisons. Unusual levels of activity pop out.

Cataphora provides the power to model real-life behavior in order to observe, hypothesize, and test the probability of different hypotheses about real-world events. As knowledge of behavioral norms aggregates, deviations become very easy to detect. This provides great insight into the evidence in order to:

Obtain relevant verbal admissions
Discredit testimony and documents offered as evidence
Support testimony and documents offered as evidence
Create demonstrative displays to support evidence and context

Our forensic extraction and indexing enables assessment of who deleted or altered documents; stores and contextualizes all the versions of a particular document; and captures the full comment history on every document, including information extracted from embedded objects.

Cataphora can answer questions about real-world facts to enable counsel to prepare most effectively to examine witnesses at deposition or trial:

What facts inform considerations that influence strategies, themes, settlement, and trial preparation?
What are the supporting or adverse facts, relevant parties, potential witnesses, and important issues?
What are the dynamics between actors, documents, and the facts that connect them to one another?
What documents and information has respondent withheld?

Our technology and expertise can be applied to any and all litigation practice areas, including securities and investment fraud, antitrust violations, intellectual property, employment discrimination and unlawful employment practices, consumer fraud and false advertising, environmental damage and toxic exposures, product liability, and abuses of civil and human rights.
