Hypothesis formation

Explanation:

"After scene examination and observation, physical evidence such as fingerprints or impression pattern evidence is used to create a working idea of how the crime happened."

This is the Hypothesis formation stage in crime investigation scenes. By the definition of 'Hypothesis formation' a hypothetical assumptions or conclusions are made based on the limited evidence resource made from the crime scene. This is made as the starting evidence for the later further investigations of the crime.

Thus the answer is Hypothesis formation.
