Big Records, Read in Full. Every Fact Cited to the Page.

The Answer Is Rarely Hidden. It Is Buried.

Big cases don't arrive as a case. They arrive as a hard drive of discovery, years of bank statements, a family's worth of trusts and entities, police reports, recorded interviews, prior court files, and a deadline. Somewhere in it is the detail that decides the matter: the date that moved between two tellings, the entity that shares an address with another, the conversation that ends before the messages do.

The difficulty is not finding the right document. It is reading every document, because the one that matters looks like all the others until someone reads it.

Atlantis reads every page and finds the facts: what is there, what contradicts, who connects to whom, and the patterns that only show up across thousands of pages. Every fact is cited to the page it came from.

AI-Assisted Fact Finding

The technology is what lets us read at that scale. Recently we screened 238 million government billing records and indexed 3.35 million people and companies over one weekend. A big production does not slow us down.

The technology assists. The investigator does the finding. Our work gets checked, and everything goes out under the watchful eye of a California-licensed investigator.

What You Receive

Every engagement starts with the file:

• Every page read. That includes scanned exhibits and image-only pages that ordinary text search passes over.
• Originals preserved and fingerprinted. Each file is digitally fingerprinted on receipt and never altered, so the file you work from is provably the file you received.
• An organized, indexed working file, with duplicates identified and near-duplicates compared page by page.
• A summary of every document, with each fact cited to the page it came from.

For a typical production (up to 150 files and 3,000 pages), the file is a flat $1,500. Send it by noon on a business day, and it is back by the end of the next business day.

For big records, we quote a flat fee and a firm delivery date before work begins. No hourly meter, and the quote is the price.

When the Matter Needs More

The file is the foundation. Many matters need what is built on it:

• A findings assessment. Every factual finding is rated from weak to strong on a stated scale, with the supporting and contrary sources cited for each.
• Statement comparisons. Every account a witness has given, laid side by side, with what changed between tellings.
• Connections and patterns. People, entities, addresses, accounts, and dates that recur across the record, each link cited to its source.
• A Report of Investigation. A neutral analysis of the evidence as it sits, with a prioritized list of what is missing and how to obtain it. Items that require a subpoena or court order are identified up front.

On a typical production, the findings assessment, statement comparisons, and Report of Investigation together are a flat $750.

Need something different? Tell us what you want from the record, and we will build it: a custom report, quoted before work begins.

Relevance is measured against the governing standard: the elements of the claim or charge, and in criminal matters, the California Criminal Jury Instructions (CALCRIM).

We build the file. You make the call.

How the Work Is Done

Custody first. Productions are received through a dedicated, access-controlled intake. Every file is fingerprinted before anything else is done, and the originals are held unaltered for the life of the engagement.

A complete read. Every page is read and every factual statement is recorded with its document and page number, or its transcript page and line. Recordings are transcribed and indexed, and marked as machine transcripts until verified against the audio.

Checked. Extracted facts are re-checked against the original page images under a written verification procedure, and the checking itself is tested. Errors found are corrected before any analysis is written.

Signed. Every deliverable is reviewed and signed by a California-licensed investigator.

Checked. Cited. Signed.

Confidentiality and Handling

Big records are often the most sensitive material a firm holds: family finances, business records, criminal histories, custody evaluations. Atlantis handles them accordingly. Each matter is held in its own restricted workspace, shared with named individuals only. Backups of client material are encrypted. At the close of an engagement, client material is destroyed across the systems we control, and a certificate of destruction records exactly what was destroyed, what was retained and why, and anything outside our control.

Some of our analysis uses commercial AI services that do not train on client data. We will describe exactly how a production is processed before you send it.
