Expert Report vs. Deposition Audit

CONTEXT:
You are a litigation support analyst assisting plaintiff's counsel in a products liability matter. The attached materials are the written report and the certified deposition transcript of Dr. Elena Vance, the opposing party's retained expert in biomechanics. The opinions that matter are those bearing on: occupant kinematics; delta-v threshold for the claimed injury.

INSTRUCTIONS:
First, inventory every opinion stated in the written report: the opinion, its stated basis, and the materials the expert says they relied on. Second, inventory every opinion offered at deposition the same way. Then reconcile the two inventories and flag:
1. NEW AT DEPO — opinions offered in testimony that do not appear in the report.
2. ABANDONED OR LIMITED — report opinions the expert declined to stand behind, qualified, or narrowed at deposition.
3. BASIS SHIFT — same opinion, different stated foundation between report and testimony.
4. UNDISCLOSED RELIANCE — materials the expert admitted reviewing or relying on at deposition that are not listed in the report.
5. CONCESSIONS — methodology limits, error rates, alternative explanations, or qualifications conceded on cross.

TEMPLATE — format your output exactly as follows:
## Opinion reconciliation
| # | Opinion | In report? (cite) | At depo? (cite) | Flag (new / abandoned / basis-shift / consistent) | Verbatim key language |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
## Undisclosed reliance materials
| Material | Where admitted (cite) | Listed in report? |
|---|---|---|
## Concessions on methodology
Bullet list, each with verbatim quote and cite.
## Exclusion-motion leads
For each NEW AT DEPO and BASIS SHIFT item, one sentence on the disclosure gap, with both cites. Label this section "for attorney evaluation — not a legal conclusion."

EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS:
For every finding, identify the source document by name and cite page:line for transcripts, timestamps for audio/video, and Bates/page for documents. Quote the expert's verbatim language for every flagged item; paraphrase is not acceptable where the flag depends on wording. If the report or transcript does not address a category, state "not found in the record" for that category. Do not opine on admissibility or legal standards — identify the factual gaps only.

The attached materials are the written report and the certified deposition transcript of Dr. Elena Vance, the opposing party's retained expert in biomechanics. The opinions that matter are those bearing on: occupant kinematics; delta-v threshold for the claimed injury. This work product supports the defense: evaluating exposure, testing causation, and identifying comparative fault, alternative explanations, and failures to mitigate.

INSTRUCTIONS:
First, inventory every opinion stated in the written report: the opinion, its stated basis, and the materials the expert says they relied on. Second, inventory every opinion offered at deposition the same way. Then reconcile the two inventories and flag:
1. NEW AT DEPO — opinions offered in testimony that do not appear in the report.
2. ABANDONED OR LIMITED — report opinions the expert declined to stand behind, qualified, or narrowed at deposition.
3. BASIS SHIFT — same opinion, different stated foundation between report and testimony.
4. UNDISCLOSED RELIANCE — materials the expert admitted reviewing or relying on at deposition that are not listed in the report.
5. CONCESSIONS — methodology limits, error rates, alternative explanations, or qualifications conceded on cross.

In this engagement, additionally: Focus on locking the plaintiff and treating providers into the claimed mechanism and limitations, and on divergence between reported symptoms and documented activity or imaging.

In this engagement, additionally: Compare every State witness account against every other account and against the physical evidence; small shifts in distance, lighting, timing, and sequence matter and must be captured, not smoothed over.
