An organized medical sequence in which every published material event is traceable to the supplied record and reviewed under a defined nurse-verification protocol.
Attorneys & authorized professionalsStarting at $1,750
Focused base scope: up to 250 clean pages and one defined episode or focused sequence.
Critical Timeline reviews the relevant medical record as a whole—not just nursing documentation. Technology can accelerate organization; an accountable RN checks published material events across the defined source set, preserves unresolved conflicts and limitations, and releases an attorney-ready evidence chronology under a written scope.

Initial categorization and missing-category signals
Critical Timeline creates or receives the initial chronology structure, then an RN reviewer verifies every published material event against the supplied record, confirms the source trail, corrects inaccuracies, preserves unresolved conflicts, and releases a defined evidence chronology for attorney and qualified-expert use.
Narrow option: a substantially smaller event set, record set, or date window may begin at $1,250. The full up-to-250-page focused service does not.
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.
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.
Written scope controls
What can change the starting scope
These rules are part of the same controlling catalog as the published prices.
Supplemental records
Records received after the agreed cutoff are reviewed and priced before addendum work begins.
Additional facility, specialty, or date range
May move the matter to a higher tier or trigger a written change order.
Poor scans, OCR failure, or duplicate control
Additional record-processing time or a higher tier is quoted before affected work begins.
What counts as a clean page
A clean page is reasonably legible and machine-readable, without excessive duplication, severe scan defects, missing orientation, or substantial OCR failure.
Narrowly targeted RN-verified scope
A tightly limited scope may begin at $1,250 when it covers a substantially smaller record set, selected material events, or a narrow date window. The up-to-250-page focused service begins at $1,750.
Priority · 3–5 business days
Adds 25%–50% only when quality and capacity can be protected.
Rush · 24–72 hours
Adds 75%–100% or 1.5×–2.0×; founder approval and a narrowed scope are required.
Revisions
One consolidated factual-correction round is included unless the service agreement states otherwise. New analysis or new records are additional scope.
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.
Start smaller. Upgrade only if the evidence warrants it.
A narrower verification step can remain enough.
If a defined Audit indicates broader source reconciliation is appropriate, an eligible matter may apply part of the Audit fee toward a qualifying RN-Verified Evidence Chronology™ when upgraded within the stated offer period. Eligibility, amount, scope, and expiration are confirmed in writing.
Current test program: up to $500 toward a qualifying upgrade within 14 days, subject to written eligibility and owner approval.
RN verification means that, before a material event is published in the client-facing chronology, a registered nurse checks the event against the supplied source record, confirms or corrects the date, time, provider attribution, event description, and source location, and identifies unresolved conflicts, ambiguities, unsupported statements, or suspected missing-source concerns.
What is a material event?
A material event is selected for publication because it is relevant to the defined episode, date range, review purpose, or attorney question. It does not mean that every line from every supplied page is reproduced in the chronology.
Where may technology assist?
Document inventory, OCR, deduplication, date extraction, and preliminary event organization. Technology-generated content remains unverified until reviewed under the defined RN process.
Why is a source link not enough?
The cited source must actually support the published event. Unresolved conflicts remain visible instead of being silently resolved.
What limits verification?
The records supplied, the approved date range, the review purpose, and the written scope.
Verification layer
Every status communicates what is known—and what is not.
Unverified extraction remains internal. Only published, human-reviewed Intelligence is presented as client-facing fact.
Technology Extracted — Not Yet Verified
Internal proposed content that is never presented as final client-facing fact.
RN Verified
The published material event was checked against the supplied source under the defined protocol.
QA Verified
The released event or artifact completed the applicable independent QA control.
Source Conflict
Supplied sources disagree and the conflict remains visible.
Ambiguous
The source does not support only one responsible interpretation.
Unsupported by Supplied Record
The proposed statement could not be supported within the agreed record set.
Suspected Missing Source
The record references material that was not located in the supplied production.
Requires Qualified Expert Review
The question goes beyond factual verification into specialty opinion.
Published event controls
The evidence row keeps the source and accountability trail together.

Works alongside your existing technology
Already Using AI or Legal Case Software? Keep It.
Your case-management system, internal summary, or technology-assisted chronology can remain part of the firm’s workflow. Critical Timeline can audit source support, identify material omissions, preserve conflicts and ambiguities, and add specialty-matched nursing judgment under a defined scope.
Automation can organize information. Critical Timeline verifies evidence and adds clinically informed human review.
“What happened, when did it happen, who documented it, where is the supporting evidence, and what source conflicts, ambiguities, or missing-record concerns remain?”
The engagement is organized around a defined decision or conversation—not around producing pages for their own sake.

Scope and strategy
RN verification turns the chronology into an accountable evidence layer—not a longer summary.
The work begins with a record manifest, a defined material-event standard, and written scope. Published material events retain their checked source location, conflicting entries remain visible, and missing categories are separated from documented facts. This creates a reliable orientation layer without disguising a chronology as clinical screening.
Signals this may be the right level
Multi-facility or multi-provider productions
Conflicting dates, histories, or copied-forward entries
An expert needs page-level source orientation
Counsel needs a defensible missing-record plan
A focused event window is more useful than a lifetime summary

Match the specialty, matter type, and next decision
Pricing depends on record volume and condition, date range, source-citation requirements, complexity, turnaround, and the defined deliverables. The written scope is confirmed before records are transferred.
Does an RN-verified chronology include an opinion on negligence or causation?
No. RN verification confirms source support and the documented sequence within scope. Clinical screening, legal conclusions, and qualified expert opinions remain separate.
Can the chronology focus on one event?
Yes. A focused date window or clinical episode can be more proportionate when it includes the context needed to understand the current decision.
The scope comes first
No records through the general intake.
We first confirm fit, boundaries, pricing, timing, and the engagement. A separate transfer method is arranged only after that step.
