Examine the detail.
Document the basis.

01 / COMPARATIVE EXAMINATION

A workspace centred on the evidence.

Inspect questioned and reference imagery side by side. Move between captures, examine fine detail and keep specialist tools close to the canvas.

• Image-led comparison
• Multiple captures and reference specimens
• Specialist discipline tools

02 / CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTATION

Give every observation its context.

Mark features and regions in source coordinates. Document type, position, orientation, quality and uncertainty, with notes that explain the examiner’s interpretation.

03 / SPOKEN NOTES

Keep the commentary with the observation.

Dictate into contemporaneous note and report fields, or record commentary from the canvas. Review the transcript and accept the wording through the same workflow used for typed notes. The aim is to support a detailed account while keeping attention on the examination.

• Original audio retained alongside the machine transcript
• Reviewed wording linked to the accepted note or report
• Protected playback through the examination’s access rules

04 / FEATURES, MAPS & MEASUREMENTS

Work from the region to the detail.

Use quality maps, feature annotations, counts and measurements to describe the material under examination. Retain the source and the stated basis of each observation.

05 / EVIDENCE-LINKED EVALUATION

Connect the opinion to the observations.

Prepare an evaluation that addresses the proposition, supporting observations, differences and limitations. Cite the specific recorded features and notes that form its basis.

06 / INDEPENDENT REVIEW

Preserve each examiner’s contribution.

Keep the independent baseline, the disclosed examination and the verifier’s report distinguishable. Later amendments remain linked to the earlier work.

07 / PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOWS

Develop the workflow for your setting.

PROFAS is designed to support structured comparative examination across specialist disciplines. A practice collaboration can define the methods, material and review arrangements for the intended environment.
