For attorneys and authorized professionals
Critical Timeline reviews the relevant medical record as a whole—not only nursing notes. Choose the level of Medical Intelligence that matches the decision: an RN-Verified Evidence Chronology™ organizes and verifies the documented sequence, Attorney Case Screening identifies preliminary issues, and Critical Timeline Case Review adds deeper clinical analysis. Every engagement is source-grounded, human-verified, and scoped before work begins.
Every published material event is checked by an RN against the supplied source record, with conflicts, ambiguities, gaps, limitations, and reviewer accountability kept visible.
ANSWERSWhat happened, when, who documented it, where is the evidence, and what source problems remain?
A focused nurse-led review of a defined medical event designed to identify preliminary clinical issues, timing concerns, documentation discrepancies, and missing records before counsel commits to a more extensive review or expert engagement.
ANSWERSDoes the available record identify issues that justify additional investigation or expert investment?
A comprehensive nurse-led review combining a source-cited chronology with structured analysis of documented clinical concerns, timing intervals, escalation points, discrepancies, missing records, and questions requiring expert attention.
ANSWERSWhich documented clinical concerns, intervals, discrepancies, and escalation issues deserve focused attorney or expert review?
Critical Timeline organizes and clinically reviews medical information only within the records supplied and agreed written scope. We are not a law firm; we do not provide legal advice, diagnose or recommend treatment, determine negligence, liability, standard of care, causation, damages, case value, or legal deadlines, replace a qualified retained expert, or guarantee an outcome.
Three chronology entry pathways
Automated organization is kept distinct from RN-reviewed client-facing work.
Technology-assisted inventory and orientation. Not RN verified and not a final attorney-ready chronology.
Starting at $99Request pilot access →Selected source-support, omission, discrepancy, citation, and conflict review under a defined scope.
Starting at $750Review audit scopes →Every published material event verified against the supplied record, with an Ambiguity & Conflict Register and release certificate.
Starting at $1,750 · Up to 250 clean pagesExplore the flagship service →Four RN-verified service levels
An organized medical sequence in which every published material event is traceable to the supplied record and reviewed under a defined nurse-verification protocol.
One defined episode or focused sequence within up to 250 clean pages.
No formal clinical screening, legal conclusion, or expert opinion. A narrowly targeted RN-verified scope may begin at $1,250 only when the record set, event set, or date window is substantially smaller than the focused base scope.
Discuss Your Chronology →251–350 clean pages or moderate multi-record complexity.
Clinical or legal conclusions outside the written scope.
Discuss Your Chronology →351–750 pages, multiple dates, facilities, or transfers.
Clinical or legal conclusions outside the written scope.
Discuss Your Chronology →751–1,500 pages or high-complexity record architecture.
Custom funded scope required above the stated band.
Discuss Your Chronology →Starting prices reflect a defined record set and review scope. Final pricing depends on record volume, record quality, number of facilities, date range, specialty, urgency, requested depth, supplemental records, OCR quality, duplicate burden, and requested verification level. Every engagement is confirmed in writing before production begins.
Verification is limited to the agreed record set, date range, purpose, and written scope. It does not guarantee that the records supplied are complete and does not independently determine negligence, liability, standard of care, causation, damages, case value, legal deadlines, or expert opinion.
Three screening pathways
Start with a focused nurse-led screen before committing to a full Case Review or expensive expert time. Screening organizes the relevant episode, identifies preliminary clinical and documentation questions, flags missing records, and helps counsel decide what should be investigated next.
One defined event, one principal allegation, and one core specialty.
No independent case-merit or expert-opinion determination.
Discuss Screening →Specialty-matched review or moderate multi-issue complexity.
No independent case-merit or expert-opinion determination.
Discuss Screening →Maternal, fetal, newborn, or delivery-related matters; complex source types may increase scope.
No independent case-merit or expert-opinion determination.
Discuss Screening →Starting prices reflect a defined record set and review scope. Final pricing depends on record volume, record quality, number of facilities, date range, specialty, urgency, requested depth, supplemental records, OCR quality, duplicate burden, and requested verification level. Every engagement is confirmed in writing before production begins.
Screening helps prioritize records, questions, and potential expert needs. It is not an expert opinion or independent determination of case merit.
Four Case Review levels
Move beyond chronology into a structured nurse-led review of timing, escalation, documentation, discrepancies, missing records, and clinically grounded questions. Every Case Review remains source-cited, professionally scoped, independently quality-checked, and designed for focused counsel and expert use.
Up to 250 clean pages; one principal episode.
No legal conclusion or substitute expert opinion.
Discuss a Case Review →251–600 pages or deeper multi-issue review.
No legal conclusion or substitute expert opinion.
Discuss a Case Review →601–1,000 pages, major injury/death, ICU, transfer, or multiple facilities.
No legal conclusion or substitute expert opinion.
Discuss a Case Review →1,001+ pages or phased, multi-specialty, audit-trail, fetal/NICU, or major-litigation work.
Each phase and added source set remains subject to written change control.
Discuss a Case Review →Starting prices reflect a defined record set and review scope. Final pricing depends on record volume, record quality, number of facilities, date range, specialty, urgency, requested depth, supplemental records, OCR quality, duplicate burden, and requested verification level. Every engagement is confirmed in writing before production begins.
The report identifies clinically relevant concerns, timing, gaps, discrepancies, and questions. Counsel and appropriately qualified experts make legal and expert determinations.
Side-by-side comparison
Specialized Medical Intelligence Services
Structured support before, during, or after a defense or independent medical examination.
One examination report plus a specifically identified comparison record set.
Larger comparison sets are separately scoped.
Discuss Examination Support →Objective nursing observation where permitted, scheduled, and included in the engagement.
Travel, excess waiting, rush, evening/weekend, cancellation, testimony, and subpoena work are separate.
Discuss Examination Support →Coordinated observation and focused report analysis under one written scope.
Travel, excess time, rush, cancellation, testimony, subpoena work, and added comparison records are separate.

Final pricing depends on record volume, record quality, number of facilities, date range, specialty, urgency, requested depth, supplemental records, OCR quality, duplicate burden, and requested verification level. Every engagement is confirmed in writing before production begins.
Observation and comparison services remain factual and scoped. The nurse does not direct the examination, coach the examinee, diagnose, provide legal advice, or determine credibility, propriety, negligence, causation, or damages. Travel, excess time, rush, cancellation, testimony, and subpoena work are separate.
Continuing relationship service
Continue the medical intelligence work as records, examinations, depositions, experts, and case questions evolve. Ongoing support begins with a $2,500 replenishing retainer and is applied to approved hourly or fixed-fee work. The retainer funds services; it does not create unlimited access or a guaranteed quantity of work.
