What information does the system collect?

The workflow can collect Submitting agency and case reference, Type of examination requested, Item inventory and packaging details, Chain-of-custody history, then organize that context for the person or system responsible for the next step.

Do we need to replace our current software?

Usually not. Wavefront first identifies which website, inbox, CRM, calendar, quoting, and reporting tools should stay, then connects or replaces only what the approved workflow requires.

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. The first release is intentionally narrow: one useful handoff, clear owners, agreed escalation rules, and a measurable outcome. Additional stages are connected only after the first workflow is working.

What happens when the AI is unsure?

Uncertain, unusual, sensitive, or high-impact cases follow defined escalation rules and are routed to the right person with the available context.

AI automation built for forensic science labs.

Where forensic science labs lose time and opportunity, and what a connected system does about it.

Structure case submission intake, track evidence chain-of-custody records, monitor turnaround and accreditation documentation, and prepare administrative summaries for analyst review.

Forensic science labs customer journey

See how a connected system can respond, qualify, route, follow up, and report across the complete customer journey.

Why forensic science labs need a connected AI system

Laboratory backlogs are rarely an analysis problem first. They begin at submission: incomplete paperwork, unclear requests, and a chain-of-custody trail that has to be reconstructed before work can start.

Illustrative workflow example

What a connected forensic science labs workflow could look like

Problem: Laboratory backlogs are rarely an analysis problem first. They begin at submission: incomplete paperwork, unclear requests, and a chain-of-custody trail that has to be reconstructed before work can start.

System: Structure case submission intake, track evidence chain-of-custody records, monitor turnaround and accreditation documentation, and prepare administrative summaries for analyst review.

Modeled result: Expected impact: a faster first response, a more complete handoff, and consistent follow-up. This example shows how the system could work and is not a reported client result.

Operating guardrail: Administrative and record-keeping support only. No analysis, interpretation, comparison, identification, or opinion is produced by the system. All examinations and conclusions are performed and issued by qualified analysts under the laboratory’s accreditation, and evidence data stays inside the laboratory’s approved chain-of-custody systems.
