Data & Source Code Analysis

AVIA analyzes software, source code, and data assets to establish how systems function, how technology was developed, and whether key technical claims are supported by the evidence.

Service Areas

Code Comparison

Systematic comparison of two or more codebases to identify similarities, shared logic, copied functions, or structural overlap.

This analysis is frequently used in trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, ownership disputes, and allegations of unauthorized code reuse. By examining both high-level architecture and detailed implementation, we help establish where meaningful similarities exist and whether those similarities may be technically significant.


Algorithmic Tracking

Following execution paths through software to understand how a specific outcome is produced.

We analyze algorithms, decision logic, workflows, and system processes to determine how outputs are generated, how data is processed, and whether a system behaves as claimed. This work can be critical when disputes involve software functionality, automated decision-making, performance, or system behaviour.


Trade Secret Identification

Analyzing codebases and datasets to identify elements that may qualify as trade secrets, including proprietary logic, non-obvious design choices, and confidential data structures.

We evaluate software, data assets, architectures, and technical implementations to identify proprietary elements that may constitute trade secrets. Our analysis helps distinguish protected intellectual property from common industry practices and publicly known approaches.


Data Lineage Mapping

Tracing how data was collected, transformed, stored, and used throughout a system or process.

We trace the lifecycle of data across systems, applications, and processes to establish how information was collected, transformed, stored, and utilized. This work can help demonstrate chain of custody, identify unauthorized use, and determine whether data was derived from protected or proprietary sources.

“Our focus is not only technical accuracy, but clarity, defensibility, and strategic relevance.”

Why This Matters

Establishing Technical Facts

Technical disputes often hinge on what a system actually does rather than what was documented, claimed, or assumed.

Our team examines software, source code, algorithms, and datasets to identify technical similarities, trace system behaviour, evaluate proprietary technologies, and establish the origins and movement of data.

By looking beyond documentation and analyzing the underlying technology itself, we help provide a structured and defensible understanding of how systems function, how information moves, and how technology was developed. These findings support expert opinions, clarify disputed technical issues, and provide a stronger foundation for legal and strategic decision-making.
