FDP (Forensic Diagnostic Protocol) is a proposed framework for examining the structure of an assembled evidentiary record before adjudication. It considers the record as a whole, identifying what is established by verifiable evidence and what remains dependent on explanation.
Its central distinction is between evidentiary capacity and narrative load. The protocol documents unresolved intervals, numerical inconsistencies, changes in description, and gaps completed by narrative.
Read the public paperWhat the record establishes through independently verifiable data, physical evidence, system output, or confirmed fact.
What the asserted conclusion depends on explanation to supply: missing continuity, inconsistent figures, varying descriptions, and unsupported sequence.
Within the protocol, the record has structural capacity to support the conclusion asserted.
Unresolved conditions carry material weight and require review before further reliance.
The classification identifies a record requiring correction or reconstruction before reliance.
Research status. Developed and demonstrated; independent validation and controlled testing remain pending. The FDP evaluates evidentiary structure. Its classifications do not determine guilt, innocence, admissibility, or the probability that a conclusion is true.
Dinah Mourise is a retired physician, forensic researcher, and educator based in Ontario, Canada. Her work brings together forensic science, criminal behaviour, and the critical examination of evidentiary records.
Her principal research includes FDP, alongside work on criminal responsibility, forensic intelligence, and the interpretation of incomplete or contested evidence. Alongside her writing, she develops professional education in forensic behavioural analysis.
Her current studies include the Doctor of Forensic Sciences at Oklahoma State University and the M.S. in Criminal Justice at Southern New Hampshire University, with a concentration in Counterterrorism and Homeland Security. Both programmes are in progress.
How records are examined, conclusions are reached, and uncertainty is represented.
The relationship between human behaviour, neurobiology, and criminal culpability.
