VMT Investigation Matrix Suite
Case Analysis
We provide criminal defense consulting rooted in seasoned investigation and structured case analysis, helping counsel test assumptions, evaluate evidence, and refine defense strategy.
Overview
The Investigation Matrix Suite (IMS) is a field-tested, spreadsheet-based case analysis system designed to stop “napkin syndrome”—scattered notes, lost leads, and untracked assumptions—and replace it with a repeatable, defensible workflow that turns facts into strategy. IMS centralizes case data, cross-references sources, tracks action items, and builds a living timeline so your team can reverse-engineer the prosecution’s narrative and surface pressure points early.
What IMS Helps Your Team DO
- Capture facts → analyze patterns → gain foresight for motions, negotiations, and trial readiness.
- Track the Five who, what, when, where, and how’s (H&W’s) across discovery, witness statements, and defense work product to prevent missed issues and late surprises.
- Apply a disciplined reverse-engineering method to identify how the state built its allegation—and where it fails under scrutiny.
- Keep the defense team aligned through accountability structures (pending actions, ownership, deadlines, and source verification).
The IMS Workflow (simple / repeatable)
IMS is structured as an integrated system: Master Matrix → Action Items → Defense Work Product / Witnesses → Prosecution Evidence / Witnesses → Timeline → Archives/Notes → Pretrial Prep/Motion Practice.
