An analysis of project provenance through a novel method of framework analysis

Subsequent to the US removal of non-compete agreement protection for companies has a primary impact in the realm of intellectualproperty. This paper proposes that one substitute for the circumstantial evidence of hiring an employee currently under the terms of anon-compete agreement with a competing organization is through the use of digital forensics. One novel approach for this may be inthe form of analysis by way of categorizing milestones and other data points and comparing the relative stages of any given projectplanning methodology. The methodology proposed is the SDLC, as a wide-ranging and foundational model.
