San Diego Local Forensic Engagement Scoping

As requested by the San Diego community member seeking verifiable professional assistance: Do not factory wipe suspect devices before evidence triage. Preserve router syslogs, generate a full macOS sysdiagnose (sudo sysdiagnose), and preserve iOS unencrypted backup to maintain timestamp fidelity before handing off to a certified SANS GIAC/CCE forensic examiner in San Diego County.
