Forensic Practice.
Built into the Software.
Phono Analytica develops professional forensic software around the requirements of forensic examination.
Complex technical work should remain accessible and reviewable without transferring professional judgement to the software.
The Workflow Comes First
Software requirements begin with the work the examiner needs to perform.
Functions are organised around real forensic tasks, relevant technical information remains accessible, and repetitive operations can be streamlined where appropriate.
Technical depth remains available. The aim is to reduce unnecessary operational friction without hiding methods, parameters or professional choices.
Built Around Forensic Examination
Casework First
Features begin with the tasks an examiner needs to perform.
Visible & Reviewable
Relevant parameters, operations, technical observations and outputs remain accessible for review, comparison and documentation.
Assistance, Not Conclusions
Automation can support repetitive operations, measurements and technical organisation. Interpretation and forensic conclusions remain with the examiner.
Professional Principles Applied to Development
Functions intended to support forensic examination are tested against defined expected behaviour and documented limitations where applicable.
Testing is treated as part of development and should be reconsidered after significant revisions that may affect technical output.
Relevant professional guidance and standards are considered according to the scope and intended use of each application.
ENFSI
Best-practice material relevant to forensic audio examination, validation, interpretation and reporting.
SWGDE
Guidance relevant to digital and multimedia forensics, including baseline requirements for forensic tool testing.
IAFPA
Professional guidance on method appropriateness, documentation, fitness for purpose, limitations and technical review.
OSAC · NIST
The OSAC Registry, administered by NIST, provides selected forensic standards and best-practice documents.
