For attorneys and mediators
Daylight documents a voluntary accountability practice between a client and a coach. Here's what the record holds, what it doesn't prove, and how to write it into an agreement.
What a record holds
- The original video for every attempt, byte for byte, with a checksum
- The words issued for that attempt and when they were heard
- The reading as the device displayed it
- Timestamped AI observations, kept apart from the coach's decision
- Each version of the coach's decision, with who made it and when
- When the request was sent, when it was due, and when the video arrived
A coach can export all of it for any test as one record package. See a sample
What it doesn't prove
- Spoken words show the video was made after the request. They don't establish who is on camera.
- Daylight doesn't check that the device is calibrated.
- An editing check can flag signs of cuts or repeats; it can't prove a video is unedited.
- It hasn't been clinically validated, and it hasn't been tested in court. Admissibility is the court's decision.
Sample agreement wording
“The parties agree that [Parent] will complete breath check-ins through Daylight (Core Values Recovery, LLC) as scheduled by [Coach], a recovery coach chosen by [both parties]. [Coach] will review each check-in and decide whether it is cleared. [Coach] will notify [Other parent] by [text/email] of missed check-ins and of each decision.”
Sample wording for discussion. It isn't legal advice; have counsel review it.
STOP and missed check-ins
The person being tested can reply STOP. That pauses their requests and cancels any open one, and cancelled requests don't count as missed. So write into your agreement what a STOP means: for example, that it counts as a missed check-in and the coach tells the other parent.
