Evidence Archive Package
Controlled release of the preserved master evidence archive for a documentation project.
Classification: Evidence Archive Transfer • Purpose: controlled release of the master evidence archive.
The Evidence Archive Package is not another documentation package tier. It is the controlled release of the evidence vault.
1) Definition
The Evidence Archive Package provides the complete original evidence archive associated with a documentation project.
Unlike standard documentation packages, which deliver organized documentation outputs, the Evidence Archive Package transfers the entire preserved archive of captured and generated evidence data.
The Evidence Archive Package represents the moment when evidence custody is transferred from EYE AM STUDIOS to the client or authorized entity.
2) Position in the Documentation Framework
| Documentation Package | Client Receives |
|---|---|
| Baseline Visual Record | A clear visual record of existing conditions. |
| Inspection-Ready Record | Structured records with annotations, points of interest, and organized reporting. |
| Spatial Site Record | Mapped and spatially referenced records for site layout, location, and condition relationships. |
| 3D Spatial RecordComing Soon | Not currently available — future capability |
| Evidence Archive Package | complete master archive |
3) Purpose of the Evidence Archive Package
The Evidence Archive Package exists for situations where documentation must be examined at the source level. Most projects do not require an evidence archive transfer.
- •litigation
- •insurance disputes
- •engineering investigations
- •forensic analysis
- •expert witness review
- •government review
- •regulatory investigations
4) Evidence Archive Contents
Level V includes all captured and generated project data preserved within the internal evidence vault.
4.1 Original Capture Files
All original capture files are included without modification.

Digital spatial records when included in project scope.
Declared spatial reference records when applicable.
4.2 Metadata Records
Level V includes full metadata records associated with the capture.

4.3 Capture Logs
If applicable to the project.
- •Capture operation logs
- •Device logs
4.4 Evidence Index
A complete documentation index is included.
- •file names
- •evidence IDs
- •capture timestamps
- •device used
- •location coordinates
- •derivative relationships
4.5 Integrity Verification Records
Level V includes integrity-checking controls and tamper-evident file verification where required.

- •verify file integrity
- •confirm files were not altered
- •support forensic verification
4.6 Documented Handling Controls
Level V includes the complete custody history.
- •capture event
- •ingestion event
- •hash verification

- •packaging events
4.7 Derivative Deliverables
Level V includes all derivative outputs generated during the project, including items delivered in Levels I–IV.
- •processed documentation images
- •annotated inspection images
- •mapping deliverables
- •3D models
- •reports
- •viewers
4.8 Viewer Package
The offline viewer may also be included.
5) Evidence Archive Structure
A typical Level V package structure:
ECC-CASEID /evidence original_capture_files /metadata metadata_report.csv metadata_full.json /logs custody_log.json capture_device_logs /verification hash_registry.csv evidence_index.json /derivatives documentation_outputs /spatial spatial_datasets spatial_outputs /reports inspection_reports engineering_reports /viewer EvidenceViewer.html
6) Dataset Size Expectations
Typical archive sizes (varies by capture volume and processing scope):
| Documentation Package | Typical Dataset |
|---|---|
| Baseline Visual Record | 5–20 GB |
| Inspection-Ready Record | 20–80 GB |
| Spatial Site Record | 100–500 GB |
| 3D Spatial RecordComing Soon | Not currently available |
7) Request Quote
Evidence Archive Packages are scoped and quoted per project based on the originating documentation package, dataset size, verification requirements, and the custody-transfer method.
- •Secure download
- •Encrypted SSD
- •Dual-drive archive
- •NAS transfer
If you need Level V for litigation, insurance dispute, engineering investigation, or regulatory review, submit a request and we’ll confirm scope and next steps.
8) Archive Preparation Workflow
Estimated preparation time: 3–10 business days depending on dataset size.
- •Client archive request
- •Archive verification
- •Hash validation
- •Evidence export
- •Archive package generation
- •Custody transfer documentation
- •Archive delivery
9) Legal and Custody Considerations
Level V involves custody transfer of preserved evidence.
An archive release may include:
- •Evidence Archive Release Agreement
- •Custody Transfer Record
- •Archive Verification Report
10) Strategic Value for EYE AM STUDIOS
Level V reinforces the role of EYE AM STUDIOS as a Spatial Evidence Documentation Authority, rather than simply an imaging service provider.
The archive system preserves documentation integrity, documented handling controls, and source capture records — allowing documentation to remain verifiable years after capture.
11) Client Messaging
EYE AM STUDIOS preserves the master documentation archive within our secure evidence system. Clients receive organized documentation packages designed for reference, reporting, and analysis.
If the complete original archive is ever required for legal, engineering, or investigative purposes, an Evidence Archive Package can be prepared.
12) Key Principle
Level V is not another documentation tier. It is the controlled release of the evidence vault.
