How we approach it
Stay within the record
Opinions are tied to the materials reviewed, applicable requirements, and the limits of the available evidence.
Explain the process clearly
Complex inspection and manufacturing concepts are translated for counsel, factfinders, and decision-makers without overstating regulatory conclusions.
Maintain independence
The analysis follows the evidence. Tailwind does not advocate beyond the supportable technical opinion.
