Why I built this

I've been retained as an expert witness in criminal, civil, and family court proceedings for over a decade. In that time I've watched technically excellent clinicians get dismantled on the stand, not because their evaluations were wrong, but because they had never practiced being cross-examined.

The preparation gap is real. Graduate training teaches you how to evaluate. It doesn't teach you how to defend an evaluation under sustained adversarial pressure, how to handle a Daubert challenge to your instruments, or what to do when opposing counsel quotes your own published work against you.

ForensicPrep is the training tool I wished existed when I started testifying. The attorney archetypes, the instrument-specific questioning, the trap detection scoring, the formal competency report, all of it is built from the inside of the witness stand, not from the outside looking in.

Every forensic psychologist, neuropsychologist, psychiatrist, custody evaluator, and clinical social worker who testifies deserves to walk into court having practiced. ForensicPrep makes that possible.

Clinical background

Dr. Tedder holds three graduate degrees in psychology and completed specialized training in forensic assessment, neuropsychological evaluation, and clinical practice. He practices at Waypoint Psychology in Austin, Texas, where he provides forensic consultation, expert witness services, and clinical evaluation across criminal, civil, and family court contexts.

His forensic work has included violence risk assessment, competency to stand trial evaluations, criminal responsibility evaluations, civil commitment proceedings, personal injury evaluations, and custody consultations.

The platform

ForensicPrep uses large language model AI to simulate attorney examination techniques with instrument-specific precision. The simulation engine incorporates 962 indexed federal case law documents via retrieval-augmented generation, enabling the attorney to reference real Daubert rulings, SVP proceedings, and forensic instrument challenges during sessions.

The Forensic Testimony Competency Index (FTCI) is a seven-domain scoring framework developed to assess expert witness performance against phase-adjusted behavioral anchors. Every session produces a formal PDF report formatted like a clinical evaluation document.
