    About this ebook

    Written by Dan Regard, Founder and CEO at iDS, Fact Crashing™ Methodology covers the 9 Principles of the Fact Crashing™, along with the necessary tools needed to help change the way we litigate. Fact Crashing™ is a portmanteau, a new word made from two pre-existing words. Fact being any digital truth recorded by the systems that permeate our digital lives, and crashing, a construction project management concept used to describe the acceleration of one phase of a project to the benefit of the entire project. In the case of the Fact Crashing™ Methodology, the prioritization of structured data can provide a significant procedural, tactical, and even strategic advantage – including the repeated experience of speeding up dispute resolution by providing both parties with quicker access to mutually agreeable (or mutually obvious) facts. These principles provide the missing tools that will change the way we litigate and summarize decades of experience learning how to identify, qualify, prioritize, and apply structured data to the benefit of resolving disputes, predominately in a legal setting.

      FOREWORD

      Twenty years ago, I was fortunate enough to be invited to join the Sedona Conference where I worked with a team of forward-thinking attorneys, judges, and consultants to draft and publish the original Sedona Principles.

      These ideas and concepts helped usher in a new generation of litigants to the world of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and e-discovery.

      E-discovery was not new, but it was limited to a few cases and practitioners. With the release of the Sedona Principles, a body of knowledge, list of guidelines, and basis for best practices was disseminated and made available, giving everyone a way to deal with the elephant in the room – the emergence and explosion of e-mail as litigation evidence.

      Yet, during those twenty years and for a solid decade prior to that seminal event, I was already working with litigants to deal with a different type of ESI – databases.

      Over the years, I have witnessed the increased frequency of databases being relevant to litigation, and an increase in the number of relevant databases per case. Eventually, I started seeing cases, large and small, where the primary evidence considered for merits and damages were databases.

      This was very different from e-mail. We refer to those as zero-email cases. Clearly, something was happening. And although it has taken decades to ripen, in the
