Work Methodology
At DCS Forensics we have developed a methodology that combines international technical rigor with the strategic insurance and reinsurance vision required in large and complex claims. This dual perspective ensures results that are defensible, traceable, and accepted not only in local markets but also in international arbitration, litigation, and reinsurance forums.
International Technical Framework
We operate under globally recognized standards such as NFPA 921/1033, IAAI, ISO, IFRS, and Solvency II. These references ensure that our conclusions align with the criteria accepted by insurers, reinsurers, regulators, and law firms worldwide. Our technical opinions are consistently benchmarked with international best practices, ensuring credibility and compliance across jurisdictions.
Dual Valuation Model
We integrate engineering-based analysis (linear depreciation, helpful life, obsolescence) with insurance criteria (policy wordings, depreciation caps/floors, contractual obligations). This balance provides technically robust and strategically defendable values for reinsurance and arbitration contexts. By applying hybrid methodologies, we can address both technical validity and commercial relevance.
Documented Traceability
Every conclusion is backed by verifiable evidence: technical reports, field logs, photographs, comparative tables, and team credentials. This transparency enhances confidence for international stakeholders and reduces disputes. The entire process is auditable, ensuring results withstand scrutiny from auditors, arbitrators, and regulatory bodies.
Result-Oriented Approach
We don’t just produce technical reports — we deliver strategic insights that enable insurers, reinsurers, corporates, and brokers to accelerate resolution, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen decision-making. This pragmatic orientation reduces negotiation time, limits controversy, and establishes a common technical ground for all parties.
Strategic Added Value
Beyond quantification, our methodology incorporates loss prevention, benchmarking with global precedents, and financial impact modeling. Each assignment becomes a platform to reinforce resilience and inform high-level risk strategies. We extend our expertise to areas such as environmental contamination, cyber risk exposure, and operational resilience, enabling stakeholders to anticipate future vulnerabilities and strengthen long-term sustainability.
Our Difference
In a market saturated with global players with heavy structures and local firms without international legitimacy, DCS Forensics emerges as a different alternative: boutique, technical, independent, and with global reach.
