When it makes sense to start with an assessment
A technical assessment may be appropriate when there is a complex dispute, failure or decision, but the technical object, relevant sources or required work still need to be delimited.
- Requests involving different disciplines or hypotheses
- Dispersed documentation or evidence that has not yet been organised
- Uncertainty about the need for an opinion, expert examination, investigation or audit
- Risk of losing records or adopting a conclusion prematurely
