Does this signature belong to the suspect?
A real questioned-document examiner doesn't just look at a signature and guess. They compare a questioned specimen against known exemplars, feature by feature, across a fixed rubric — and only then render a written opinion with an honest statement of its strength.
This is that bench. Inspect the specimens, run the examiner's criteria against the evidence, and issue your own formal opinion. You'll see why the discipline is a science of individual characteristics, not of first impressions.

Inconclusive (can't tell), or
Inconsistent (clearly deviates from the suspect's habits).
