Loss Event Evidence Chronology
Is there enough independent evidence to proceed to the next step?
The buyer’s decision
Buyer: Claims teams, insurers, brokers and dispute counsel. Decision trigger: Major loss, catastrophe, suspected fraud or coverage dispute.
Defined unit: One named subject or event; up to three material claims; agreed source jurisdictions and date window.
Research emphasis: Separate contemporaneous records from later accounts, build timelines and test contradictory statements.. Records prioritised include public incident report, regulator release, historical weather records.
Exactly what is investigated
- Confirm exact subject, legal identity and the limited research period
- Recover the agreed original records and record publication, effective and collection dates
- Which dated original public incident report most directly proves the key assertion concerning first-pass evidence screen?
- Could wrong loss date alter the proposed decision, and which record would disprove it?
- Test adverse or alternative evidence and distinguish absence of evidence from a negative finding
- Construct a traceable incident event chronology for this decision
- Record the specific unavailable evidence and clarify what would change the conclusion
Deliverable and quality control
- Source coverage sheet, first three contradictions or gaps, clear next-record requests.
- incident event chronology using traceable sources
- Dated and classified findings: supported, contradicted, unresolved or out of scope
- Human review of source-to-claim traceability and privacy considerations
- Concisely stated reliance limitations and decision-owner questions
