+ ABOUT PROFAS
Specialist methods.
A shared examination record.
PROFAS is Professional Forensic Analysis Software: an extensible platform for comparative visual analysis, contemporaneous documentation, evidence-linked evaluation and controlled verification.
THE VISION
Connect the work.
Keep its context.
The image, the observation, the explanation and the review belong together.
PROFAS brings specialist disciplines into a common examination platform. The aim is to give practitioners a coherent working environment, researchers a detailed record to investigate, and educators a practical way to explore the reasoning behind an answer.
Each discipline supplies its methods and vocabulary. The platform preserves the examination record: who contributed, what they documented, the source detail they referred to and how the work developed.
WHAT GUIDES THE DESIGN
The evidence is central.
Comparative imagery sits at the heart of the workspace, with specialist tools close to the material under examination.
Every observation has a context.
Features, notes, assessments and measurements remain linked to their source, stage and contributor.
Independent work has its own record.
Preserve the baseline, control disclosure and connect subsequent review to the examination being considered.
A record can open new questions.
The aim is to support research into examiner variation, verification, learning and accountable human–AI assistance.
THE OPPORTUNITY
From examination
to shared understanding.
We are interested in collaborations across forensic practice, university research and education, and expert dataset development. Begin with a question, a discipline and a focused use of the platform.
