Cataphora Technology Analytics
Analytics
The advanced capabilities of Cataphora's Analytics provide insight into the behavior of individuals and organizations – as memorialized in the electronic data record – that is quite simply unavailable with other solutions. Our analytics range from modeling habitual behavior to assessing the closeness of social relationships, to deviations from standard business processes, to detecting unusual patterns of 'holes' in the data. Vivid graphics illustrate communication patterns based on the most accurate and thorough analysis of the facts. They can sort through millions of communication exchanges to pinpoint key individuals who may be crucial to a legal matter or investigation.
The use of these sophisticated analytics can vastly reduce the time and budget that could otherwise be needed for substantive analysis of the electronic record.

C-Evidence analytics can help you answer a huge range of questions such as:
  • Who is important to the case?
  • What went on that you don't know about?
  • What kinds of damaging or exculpatory information might there be?
  • Is the data set complete, or is something missing or hidden—or even deliberately deleted?
  • Who knew, or likely knew, what facts, and when?
  • How can the number of custodians be reduced or expanded?
And much, much more...

To properly answer questions like these, you have to apply advanced investigative techniques—and that's where Cataphora's Analytics come in.

Get the Big Picture

Our Analytics apply a wide range of sophisticated techniques to the behavior patterns and inter-relationships of people, events, and communications. The results are presented using vivid graphics and easy-to-understand tables detailing the salient facts to highlight "big picture" elements that cannot be found using traditional data search techniques.

These elements include significant patterns of communication, communication pattern anomalies, and "red flag" behaviors such as systematic exclusion of a key executive from certain kinds of communications.

Analysis of the behavior patterns of various custodians or other people of interest can reveal who really is most involved in the case. It can also reveal the existence and importance of new targets for investigation.

In short, analytics can save you time and money by helping you focus effort in the most fruitful areas and can help assure you that you have minimized the risk of missing something significant.

Much More Than Just a Pretty Picture

It is important to remember that the true value of analytics does not lie just in being able to provide a pretty picture. The real value depends entirely on the power of the underlying technology. Ask yourself what kinds of answers it would be valuable to have, and determine whether any vendor you are considering can answer questions that would be most useful to you such as:

  • Can it help you identify important missing custodians?
  • Does it detect significant changes in behavior patterns?
  • Does it help you understand communication habits?
  • Does it enable you to easily follow chains of communication?
  • Does it identify damaging evidence for you?
