- Parties — all individuals/entities with roles and relationships
- Timeline anchors — key dates, deadlines, hearings, milestones
- Forum — internal process, arbitration, EEOC/state agency, court, union grievance
- Resolution docs — settlement, award, or decision documents (if any)

Source Handling
- Tag every factual assertion with a marker:
[Doc-12].
- Use quotation marks for direct quotes; cite document and page/section.
- If a fact is disputed, state both positions and label Disputed.
Pitfalls and Checks
- Neutrality — never assess credibility or intent; state legal conclusions only if formally determined by a court, arbitrator, or agency.
- Policy versions — identify the governing policy version and effective date when cited.
- Privilege — note confidentiality restrictions; do not reproduce sensitive material beyond necessity.
- Jurisdiction — if unclear or non-U.S., flag explicitly and adjust labels; mark uncertain citations
[VERIFY].
- Retaliation / preservation — highlight anti-retaliation and document-preservation obligations when implicated.
- Length — target 2–5 pages for complex matters; keep scannable.
