The relevant passage
The precise part of the opinion to which the concern relates.
Product
AR3S works with the expert opinion together with the medical records and other materials relevant to its assessment. It analyses the expert’s reasoning, checks how well the conclusions are supported by the sources and prepares a report showing which passages deserve particular attention.
The expert opinion is the starting point. It can be accompanied by medical records, the questions put to the expert and other materials that matter when assessing the conclusions.
AR3S uses these materials as a point of reference. This makes it possible to assess not only whether the opinion is internally coherent, but also whether its key statements are supported by the sources.
The aim is simple: give the lawyer enough context to see where an objection comes from and decide whether it is worth pursuing.
The point is not to produce another summary of the opinion. Each material concern should be described clearly enough for the lawyer to assess its significance and decide whether it is worth using.
The precise part of the opinion to which the concern relates.
A direct explanation of whether the issue is an error, inconsistency, omission, overstatement or another weakness in the reasoning.
Reference to the medical records, other case materials and specialist knowledge relevant to the finding.
A suggestion as to whether the issue may be worth raising, addressing through further questions or checking in more detail.
CEM is AR3S’s proprietary analytical core. Its job is to combine detailed review of the opinion with control of the material on which the expert’s conclusions are based.
The report points to the part of the opinion that gives rise to the concern instead of limiting itself to a general assessment of the document.
Where an assessment depends on records or another source, the report shows the material relevant to verifying the finding.
The aim is not to produce an answer that has to be taken on trust. The lawyer should have enough information to judge whether a concern is actually sound.
AR3S is being built for matters in which assessing an expert opinion requires more than legal analysis alone.
Accidents, injuries and disputes over health consequences, causation or the amount of compensation.
Cases in which diagnosis, treatment, causation and the interpretation of medical records need to be assessed carefully.
Proceedings concerning work capacity, independent living and degree of disability.
With a high volume of cases, even a small improvement in the quality of expert-opinion assessment can have significant operational and financial impact.
Pilot programmes
We are preparing AR3S for pilot use with lawyers and legal teams, especially in matters where an expert opinion in medicine may materially affect what happens next.
