Forensic service providers fulfill a fundamental role in a criminal justice system by providing scientific information that aids investigations and court proceedings. While the focus is often on the science aspect of these organizations, the provision is also of paramount importance. Historically, calls for more and better information about forensic laboratory performance (in essence, benchmarking) have gone unheard. Project FORESIGHT, created in 2008, filled this need through engagement with the forensic management community to build a needs-based process for providing operational data that can be used to enhance a laboratory's performance. With over 10 years of industry data, Project FORESIGHT is the de facto standard for benchmarking forensic service provision.
法医服务提供商通过提供有助于调查和法庭诉讼的科学信息，在刑事司法系统中发挥着重要作用。虽然人们通常关注这些机构的科学方面，但服务的提供也至关重要。从历史上看，要求提供更多、更好的法医实验室绩效信息（本质上是基准测试）的呼声一直未被听到。2008年创建的“远见计划”通过与法医管理界合作，满足了这一需求，建立了一个基于需求的流程，以提供可用于提高实验室绩效的运营数据。凭借超过10年的行业数据，“远见计划”已成为法医服务提供基准测试的事实上的标准。
