Acerion performs focused, one-time collections from public and authenticated web sources, social networks, video platforms, archived pages, and collaboration systems while preserving the visual record, native content, and collection provenance.
Pages change, feeds reorder, comments expand, videos disappear, and authenticated content may not be visible outside a user session. A useful collection must preserve what was presented, the underlying content available, and the facts needed to explain the capture.
01Changing presentation
Responsive layouts, dynamic loading, and personalized feeds can alter what appears on screen.
02Layered content
Posts, comments, media, metadata, linked pages, and embedded video may require different collection methods.
03Access boundaries
Public pages, authenticated accounts, internal sites, and archived content each create distinct scoping and access considerations.

03 / THE WORKFLOW
Controlled from scope to delivery
A clear process for complex collections.
01
Define
Identify URLs, accounts, profiles, repositories, date boundaries, access requirements, and the content that must be preserved.
02
Prepare
Confirm authorized access, test source behavior, document the capture environment, and select the appropriate screen and native methods.
03
Capture
Perform the one-time collection, expand in-scope content, preserve available native files, and hash collected material.
04
Package
Organize the capture set, reconcile files, and deliver authenticated PDFs, native content, and a Relativity load file as required.
Delivery
Evidence that arrives with its context intact.
The final package is organized for downstream review and supported by documentation that explains what was collected, how it was collected, and how completeness was assessed.
Authenticated PDF capture set
Screen captures with source context
Available native files and media
Relativity load file
File-level cryptographic hashes
Collection notes and source manifest
