What you get

How it works

  1. Free analysis in your browser. Counts, hashes and a completeness report. Nothing is uploaded.
  2. Fixed quote. A price by message volume, shown before you pay.
  3. Secure intake. Paid matters are held in a dedicated store per matter.
  4. Coded review. Under a written codebook, with a second check.
  5. Delivery. Schedule, ledgers and method statement. You cite; we show the line.

Fixed fees indicative

Sample

Synthetic matter The sample schedule page and method statement use an invented matter. They contain no real parties or messages.

How your data is handled

Factum is a tool and a method, not evidence of truth: the solicitor cites the line. We make no claim about admissibility.

About

Factum was devised by Allan Pedersen, an economist with twenty years in financial services, who built the method on his own case as a litigant.

Factum Probatum Limited (company in formation).

Questions

Is it admissible?

That is for the court and your advocate. We provide a schedule, ledgers and a method statement that let you show exactly where each figure comes from. We do not claim admissibility.

What happens to my data?

The free analysis stays in your browser. For paid matters, files are held in a dedicated store per matter and are not used for training. EU-jurisdiction hosting and zero-retention model terms are being put in place before the first paid matter. Files are deleted when the matter closes, and you receive a deletion certificate.

Which apps are supported?

WhatsApp and Signal exports. Telegram and iMessage are coming; email follows later. Tell us what you hold when you start.

How long does it take?

Timing depends on volume and is stated in your quote. An expedited option is available.

What if the export is incomplete?

The free analysis reports gaps and completeness issues before you pay, and the method statement records them.

What do you not do?

We give no legal advice and offer no opinion on anyone's honesty. We state what the record shows; people draw the conclusions.
