Whether findings are decisive anywhere is a judgment that rests with the court. The technology provides the building blocks; the weighing happens elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<div class=\"pterm-ex\">In proceedings, the question is how heavily a technical investigation counts. Paucitas ensures the findings are recorded traceably and verifiably. How heavily that counts legally is assessed by the court and the legal professionals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What does evidential value mean?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">How convincing and traceable findings are. The technology provides building blocks; whether they are decisive is a legal judgment made by the court, not by Paucitas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>Can Paucitas determine evidential value?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">No. Paucitas records the technology traceably and supports legal professionals.
