For defence and plaintiff firms
A report you can put in front of a court
Every record is dated and sourced. Every step is logged. The report cites what it relies on.
The problem
The report is only as strong as the record behind it
Opposing counsel asks what the examiner saw and when. You have a PDF bundle, an email chain, and a courier receipt. Rebuilding the chain takes a paralegal a day, and the answer is still approximate.
- You cannot show what records the examiner actually had.
- The chronology is rebuilt by hand for every file.
- Exhibit numbering drifts between the bundle and the report.
- A missing consent turns up at the worst moment.
- The report answers around the question you asked.
What changes
What IMECore does about it
A record set you can prove
Each document carries its source, its date, and when the examiner received it. Export the list as an exhibit index.
The chronology builds itself
IMECore reads dates and providers out of the records and builds a chronology. You correct it rather than write it.
Questions in, answers out
Your instructing questions sit on the case. The reviewer confirms each has an answer before release.
Disclosure on the file
Conflict and prior-treatment disclosures are recorded when the examiner is assigned, not asked for later.
Consent held with the record
The consent form and its date live on the case beside the records it covers.
One timeline to disclose
The audit log is a plain, exportable list of who did what and when.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can we use our own examiner?
Yes. Name the examiner on the referral, or let the coordination firm assign one from its panel.
Do you produce a chronology we can file?
IMECore builds a dated, sourced chronology from the records. Export it as a table. A person reviews it before it leaves.
How is privilege handled?
Case access is role-based. Instructing letters and privileged material sit in a separate class that the examiner portal does not show.
What if we need an addendum?
Open an addendum on the same case. It inherits the record set and links back to the original report.
Can we get the file after the matter closes?
Yes. Export the case, the records index, the report, and the audit log at any time.
