Case record

Separate every allegation from the document offered to support it.

The active record will identify what was alleged, who made the statement, what source was supplied, what contrary material exists, and what action followed.

Controlling rule: Source documents control over summaries. Personal accounts, filed facts, legal authority, inferences, and proposed reforms remain separately labeled.
Record categories

Organize the material by source, not by accusation volume.

Court Filings and Orders

Petitions, motions, responses, reports, orders, notices, certificates, and docket entries.

Medical Material

Treating records, examination reports, physician statements, care instructions, and identified omissions.

Financial Material

Statements, transaction records, account records, payment sources, audits, and allegations lacking transaction-level support.

Law-Enforcement Material

Incident reports, recordings, dispatch records, officer observations, and resulting actions.

Communications

Emails, text messages, letters, notices, and communications showing source, timing, and context.

Personal Account

Direct experience labeled by speaker and kept distinct from filed facts and third-party records.

Canonical-data rule

Enter each controlling fact once.

Dates, times, document titles, parties, source paths, and claim statuses must be stored once in the structured data files under /assets/data/.

Each page should use the stable record ID instead of recreating the same fact in multiple HTML files.

Authority register

Starting legal and procedural subjects.

Every entry remains marked for current verification. The register is a research control and does not replace the current official text.
