Pattern-Based Cognitive Sensitivity (PBCS): Evan retains small, low-salience details longer than most people and notices when they repeat across time or environments. Rather than forming quick hypotheses, he allows information to accumulate until patterns or inconsistencies surface naturally. How does this help him or the team?
- notices when small details recur across different victims, locations, or timelines—details others discard too early—so he's especially useful with cold cases, linked offenses
