New contributor method exercises, practice scenarios, media reviews, and applied training notes will appear here first.

01

Baseline Walkthrough

Practice describing a room before any investigation begins: sound, light, airflow, wiring, exits, reflective surfaces, appliances, and human movement paths.

02

Claim vs. Observation

Separate what a witness reported from what the team directly observed. Keep belief, interpretation, and documentation in separate lanes.

03

Natural Explanation Pass

List ordinary explanations before labeling anything unusual: structure noise, insects, animals, radio, plumbing, HVAC, camera artifacts, or expectation bias.

04

Evidence Review Note

Write a short review note that states what is present, what is uncertain, what can be ruled out, and what still needs follow-up.

05

Responsible Summary

Practice writing a client-safe conclusion that avoids proof claims and clearly separates facts, possibilities, and unknowns.
