Scientific method always begins with a question, which in crime scene reconstruction is often called as :
Investigative question
The scientific method proceeds through question, observation and data collection, hypothesis formation, testing (experimentation) and conclusion.
In crime scene reconstruction the starting point is a question about the event itself, such as what happened, in what sequence, and who was involved; it directs what evidence is collected and which hypotheses are tested. This starting question is termed the investigative question.
A leading question is a courtroom term for a question that suggests its own answer to a witness; it is not a step of the scientific method.
Associative refers to evidence that links a person or object with a scene, not to the opening question, and a concluding question would come at the end, not at the beginning, of the process.
Therefore the opening question of reconstruction is known as the investigative question.
Hence, Investigative question.
