# Filing Preparation

A filing is judged on form as much as substance, and the form requirements are
external, specific, and unforgiving.

## When to use

- Anything is going to a court, registry, regulator or authority.
- A response is due under a rule with a stated window.

## Steps

1. **Confirm the deadline on the `deadlines` ledger**, with its source. If the
   date is not there, put it there before doing anything else.
2. **Read the actual form requirements** for this forum — length, format,
   exhibits, service, signature, fee. Not what the last filing did; forums
   change their rules and the last filing may have been to a different one.
3. **Check every factual assertion against the document it comes from.** A
   citation to the record that does not support the sentence is the failure that
   costs the client credibility with the one audience that matters.
4. **Assemble the exhibits** in the order the document refers to them, each one
   actually attached.
5. **Run the substance past compliance** if the filing asserts anything about
   regulated conduct.
6. **Park it.** Record the matter row, and hand the filing to the operator with
   the deadline, the forum, and what still needs a signature.

## Output

A filing-ready document with its exhibits, a statement of the deadline and
forum, and an explicit list of what a licensed human must check before it is
signed. This roster does not file.
