          Questions regarding conclusions
==================================================

Analysis
-----------

1. General distortion factors observed on the mark:

	Low contrast with background
	Substrate noise, texture or pattern
	Tonal (color) reversal
	Double tap
	Superimposed (multiple impressions overlaid)
	Extreme deposition pressure
	Slippage (smearing or drag marks)
	Twisting
	Non-contiguous ridge detail (separated by a break in substrate or a break in the latent)

	
2. Quality of level 1, 2 and 3 details :

	Level 1
		Distinct
		Indistinct
	Level 2
		Most distinct
		Few distinct
		Most indistinct
	Level 3
		Abundant
		Minimal
		None
		
3. Suitability of the latent mark :

	Suitable for identification
	Suitable only for exclusion   (only for approach #2)
	No value

Comparison
-----------
	
1. Final conclusion :
	
	Identification
	Exclusion
	Inconclusive
	
(if 1. is "Inconclusive") 1b. Do you mean ?

	Leaning towards identification
	Leaning towards exclusion
	Neither
	
(if 1. is "Inconclusive") 1c. Would your conclusion change if you had a better (in terms of quality and/or extent) exemplar (known) print ?

	Yes
	Possibly
	No
	
2. Were level 3 features decisive in your decision making ?

	Yes
	No
	
3. Quality and quantity :

	You have selected X minutiae in agreement, would you say that this number is ... ?
		Low ... Medium ... High
		
	You have annotated that Y% of the latent print is of medium/high quality, would you say that it is overall of .... quality ?
		Low ... Medium ... High
