It certainly feels like a technique rather than a specialty (whereas e.g. neurosurgery, working only on a specific sort of tissue,
would be a specialty).
While I like complementary skills, I wonder whether one might want a mechanic more like Environment Suit: the Surgery (Autopsy) could act as a cap to the other investigative skills. (It would be possible for investigator A to do the cutting, and investigator B to draw the conclusions based on A's skill cap, of course.)
One might even extend the Complementary Skill mechanic: you have Autopsy-13, you pass, so your functional Autopsy level on this specific body is at +1 for 14, and that's what caps the investigative skills.
