About

Built by a forensic psychologist.
For people who need answers.

Founder

Dr. Zackery A. Tedder, PsyD

Licensed Clinical Psychologist, BHEC #36417

Dr. Tedder is a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with over 15 years of experience in psychological assessment, neuropsychological testing, and forensic evaluation. He has conducted evaluations in criminal, family, and civil proceedings across Texas, and has provided expert testimony in county and district courts.

He holds three degrees in psychology, including a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). His practice, Waypoint Clinical and Forensic Psychology, is based in Austin, Texas.

Locus was built because Dr. Tedder saw, firsthand, how people navigating legal proceedings without attorneys are harmed by reports they cannot understand and methodology they cannot challenge. The evaluations that shape custody decisions, criminal sentencing, and civil commitment proceedings are written in clinical language for clinical audiences. The people whose lives depend on those evaluations deserve to understand what they say and whether they were done correctly.

How Locus handles your documents
De-identification first.

Before any analysis begins, your document is processed through Elider, a memory-only de-identification pipeline. Names, dates of birth, addresses, case numbers, and other identifying information are removed. The analysis is performed on the de-identified version.

Never stored.

The original document is never written to disk, never saved to a database, and never retained after processing. Once your session ends, the original is gone. Only the de-identified analysis output is saved to your account.

Not legal advice.

Locus provides legal literacy and document intelligence. It translates clinical language into plain language, reviews methodology against published professional standards, and generates questions you can bring to court or to an attorney. It does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or attorney-client communication.

Research grounding

Every methodology review produced by Locus is grounded in published, peer-reviewed standards. The research library includes sources from the American Psychological Association, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, and leading researchers in forensic assessment methodology.

Locus does not fabricate citations or statistics. All claims made by the platform are sourced from published literature. When the analysis references a standard or finding, it cites the actual source.
