Legal Framework

Justice Minds Forensic Intelligence Ltd

"We built Justice Minds because evidence should not be a memory; it should be a map. When the system fails the vulnerable, the data rarely lies — if it's captured, time‑stamped and handled with forensic discipline. I only operate on time stamps." — Ben Mak, 2025-09-23 19:47:38. This is how we turn conversations, meetings and documents into admissible, actionable records for audit, advocacy and legal remedy.

Purpose, Mission and Promise

Purpose: We provide forensic evidence preservation, timestamped reporting, multidisciplinary forensic analysis and advocacy to individuals, families, NGOs and public bodies.

Mission: We expose systemic failures and protect vulnerable people by translating recorded interactions and documentary evidence into time‑stamped, benchmarked reports aligned with legal standards.

Promise: We follow strict chain‑of‑custody, encryption and professional independence so our work is reliable, auditable and suitable for judicial or administrative use.

Core Services

Evidence capture & preservation: Secure time‑stamped capture of audio/visual material, transcripts, metadata and attachments.
Forensic reporting: Chronologies, benchmark matrices (law/policy mapping), verbatim excerpts with timestamps and professional opinion.
Computational corroboration: Non‑intrusive analytics to detect patterns and produce metrics.
Advocacy & advisory: Supporting clients to escalate to public bodies, ombuds (Housing Ombudsman, ICO), regulators, or to instruct lawyers for litigation.

Methodology & Evidentiary Approach

Time‑stamp Principle

All materials we accept or create are assigned an immutable timestamp and a documented chain of custody. We do not base conclusions on unaudited recollection; we anchor findings to recorded events and metadata.

Verbatim Quoting

Where we quote a speaker verbatim, we include the exact quoted text and the timestamp. Example: "Every chunk is separated. It's only kept in and within this. As soon as it leaves my domain, it doesn't work because I've encrypted it." — Ben Mak, 2025-10-07 22:39:56.

Benchmark Mapping

Findings are cross‑referenced to statutory and professional standards (e.g., Ministry of Justice guidance, Care Quality Commission, housing statutes) and presented in a standards‑matrix for clarity and judicial utility.

Independence and Systemic Focus

We audit conduct against standards and highlight system-level failures rather than targeting individuals. "Even when describing institutional failures, I've been careful to focus on systemic issues rather than attacking individuals." — Ben Mak, 2025-09-24 20:36:19.

Means: The ability or capability to commit the act
Motive: The reason or incentive behind the act
Opportunity: The circumstances that allow the act to occur

A forensic analysis framework used to assess the likelihood and circumstances of events, particularly in investigative and legal contexts.

Safeguards & Security

Chain of custody: Documented provenance for every file; access logs and restricted role-based controls.
Encryption: Data encrypted at rest and in transit; segmented storage of evidentiary "chunks" to reduce risk.
Access control: Only authorised personnel and client‑approved agents see case material; third parties sign NDAs and processing agreements.
Auditability: All actions on evidence are auditable; we produce logs suitable for court scrutiny.

Limitations & Appropriate Uses

Not a substitute but rather a complement for competent legal representation: Our reports are multidisciplinary expert evidence based on factual findings. All diagnostic work and summaries are based on verifiable, examinable patterns and materials.
Expert evidence foundation: Our reports are multidisciplinary expert evidence based on factual findings cross-triangulated through rigorous forensic analysis. Diagnostics and summaries are based on verifiable, examinable patterns and materials.
Framework-based methodology: We use applicable established frameworks where relevant—safeguarding protocols, PEACE Framework

Legal counsel collaboration: Clients should seek and work with competent legal counsel. We can provide robust evidence-based additions to litigation strategy.

Lawful Recording Requirements

Consent and legal basis: Clients must confirm lawful basis for recordings and any required consents. Where recordings include third parties, ensure applicable consent or legal basis exists.
Exceptions where notice is not viable: There are lawful bases when consent or notice of recording isn't viable, reasonable, or safe to provide—and robust understanding and ethical means should always be the pillar to guide our actions.
No unlawful surveillance: No covert law-breaking advice or behaviour is tolerated. We will not assist or instruct in unlawful covert surveillance.
Ethical compliance: We advise lawful, ethical evidence capture and compliance that honour best interest, the law, and the greater good.

Referral & Escalation

We will advise on statutory escalation routes (housing, safeguarding, ombuds, courts) and, where appropriate, recommend legal representatives or public bodies for referral.

CI & Analytics Summary

We use computational intelligence (CI) tools to corroborate and enhance forensic findings: pattern detection, word‑frequency and word‑choice metrics, speaker‑turn timing, and transcript→statute matching. Outputs are confidence‑scored and presented as corroborative evidence; methodologies and models remain proprietary to preserve evidential integrity and security.

Regulatory Standing & Professional Notes

We operate in alignment with applicable UK law and regulatory expectations and hold ICO registration ZB896365. Our products and reports are designed to meet admissibility and tribunal standards; they are intended to aid investigations, judicial review, regulatory audits and public interest inquiries.
