Compiling SCL Protocol Dispute Bundles
How to package contemporaneous site records into courtroom-grade hearing dossiers with cryptographic SHA-256 evidence sealing.
Navigate to the Claims Defense Control Center
From your project environment, select Defense in the primary sidebar navigation or visit /dashboard/defense.
Here you will see all triaged delay events, attributed responsibility matrices (Contractor vs. Employer vs. Third Party), and active quantum prolongation ledgers.
Review Concurrent Delay Netting
Per the Society of Construction Law (SCL) Delay and Disruption Protocol, contractor delays overlapping with employer delays must be factored before assessing prolongation damages.
Forge automatically calculates:
- Gross Employer Days: Total critical path variance caused by owner variations/delays.
- Concurrent Days: Overlapping contractor delay intervals neutralized.
- Net Compensable Days: The legally defensible duration entitled to time and money.
Inspect Cryptographic SHA-256 Evidence Stamps
Every dispute bundle is signed with a high-entropy SHA-256 checksum calculated across:
- Linked site logs, meeting minutes, and inspection reports
- CPM activity driving path states and baseline timestamps
- Daily triage decisions, participant attributions, and quantum calculations
This digital fingerprint guarantees legal admissibility and eliminates claims of post-facto tampering during arbitration.
Configure Clean-Room External Sanitization
If issuing the hearing bundle to an Employer, Client Rep, or Subcontractor:
Toggle the "Simulate External View" switch to verify that contractor profit margins, labor multipliers, and privileged litigation advice are automatically redacted before publishing.
