ORVIA Threshold
Understand the evidence before deciding what comes next.
Threshold is a structured, independent read of the material you already hold. It exists to answer one question honestly: on this evidence, what can actually be said?
How it works
Seven stages, in the same order, every time
The sequence does not change with the client, the subject matter or who is paying. That consistency is what makes the output defensible when someone else reads it.
Outcome language
Five words, used precisely
Every claim examined ends in one of these five positions. We do not grade confidence with percentages and we do not soften a finding to make it easier to read.
Supported
The available evidence carries this claim.
Not supported
The available evidence does not carry it, or contradicts it.
Indicator only
There is a signal, but not enough to reach a position.
Unresolved
The evidence points both ways and cannot be reconciled from what exists.
Unable to determine
The material needed to reach any position is not present.
The Three Sides Principle
Your account. The other account. And what the evidence supports.
Most disputes are argued as two versions. Threshold sets out a third, and it is the only one we put our name to.
Your account
Your version, recorded fairly and in full, without us editing it toward the answer you want.
The other account
The opposing version stated at its strongest, not its weakest. If we cannot answer the best version of it, you are not ready.
The position closest to what the available evidence supports
Our written view, referenced to source, of what a fair reader could actually conclude from the documents in front of them.
Boundaries
What Threshold is not
Threshold is an evidence review. It is not legal advice, it is not advocacy, and it is not a prediction of what any court, panel or regulator will decide. We do not act for you in proceedings and we hold no statutory power. If your matter needs a solicitor, we will say so — and the pack we produce is designed to make that solicitor’s first day faster.
Not sure where to start? Most people are not.
