Counter-expertise

Counter-expertise is technical counter-investigation: existing findings are independently reviewed to see whether they are traceable and sound. The aim is to test, not to confirm or to refute for the sake of refuting. Paucitas carries this out from the technical side and thereby supports lawyers and legal professionals; the legal consequences remain with them, and Paucitas is not a lawyer.

What it may indicate

Counter-investigation can strengthen earlier conclusions, qualify them or raise questions. What it yields depends on the data and not on a desired outcome. Whether a discrepancy carries legal weight is assessed elsewhere; the counter-expertise only describes what holds up technically.

A lawyer doubts whether an earlier investigation was complete. Paucitas independently reviews the steps and checks whether the findings are traceable. The lawyer uses the outcome within the proceedings; those proceedings themselves lie outside the work of Paucitas.
