E-Discovery
The e-discovery phase is where it all comes together. We work
with the client in order to produce a search term-extraction list.
This list is what will guide us to each computer image in order
to search for all relevant files. The breakdown for applying
search terms to evidence items is as follows:

- Each image is processed separate  from all other images.
This means that a 10 term search list being applied to 10
images is the equivalent to applying a 100 term search to 1
image.

- Search terms need to be as specific and as relevant as
possible. The reason for this is that the search term process
will apply the specific term to every file and/or space on the
image.

- Every hit (false or otherwise) will need to be reviewed and
have its relevance determined. In other words, the fewer false
hits-the better.

- All of this translates to time. The more specific the terms and
instructions for the types of specific data being sought, the
fewer false hits will appear and the less time it will take to
review the search results.

Once the search terms are applied, all relevant files are
extracted and imported, this is the deliverables phase.
