Expert Witness C.V.: Short section. Make up a C.V. using industry recognized
certifications.
Choice of Tools: What software and / or hardware was used to do the
investigation. Why were those tools chosen?
Purity of evidence: short section. How do investigative tools ensure evidence is
preserved.
Chain of custody should be self explanatory, should also be a short section.
Significance of Findings: This should be the largest section in your report.
Where did the suspicious information come from? What makes it suspicious?
Why is it significant? Is there a crime?
