In practice

From evidence to a version you can sign.

  1. Build from the matter.

    Draft section by section from the facts on the matter. BRON records which facts each draft relied on.

    BRON / Documents01

    Notice / source basis

    Timing is disputed

    Two accounts

    Garcia Dep. 118:4–12
    Smith Dep. 44:12–20

    Notice memorandum · v4

    Garcia testified that the supplier knew of the defect before May 4, 2025. Smith testified that it knew only after that date. On May 2, 2025, Garcia emailed Smith the defect report. The email does not show when Smith received or read it.

    Replaces v3, held for review. Both accounts. Written before the email arrived.

    BRON / Documents02

    Notice memorandum / inspect its basis

    The paragraph, and the testimony behind it.

    The draft attributes each account to the witness who gave it.

    Garcia deposition · 118:4–12

    “Before May 4.”

    The supplier knew of the defect before May 4. Garcia attended the review meeting.

    Smith deposition · 44:12–20

    “Only after May 4.”

    The supplier knew of the defect only after May 4. Smith relies on correspondence he reviewed.

    The passage shows what the paragraph cites. Whether it supports the paragraph is a separate question.

  3. Approve the version that leaves.

    An approval covers one version. Edit it afterward, and the new version needs its own review.

    BRON / Documents03

    Notice memorandum · v4

    Approved by Elena Rivera

    The approval belongs to this version.

    Before it leaves

    BRON checks the citations again. A document it holds can be released only by a licensed attorney at the firm, with a recorded reason.

    A revised draft needs checks against its own version.

What this carries into the rest of the matter

  • Each sentence's sources, into review and later revisions.
  • The facts each draft relied on, so a corrected fact flags the draft.
  • Citation results, into the release check.
  • The approved version, into the record and any export.

One decision in practice

Does the passage state both accounts fairly?

DRAFT / COUNSEL REVIEW

Garcia places notice before May 4.

Smith's account puts it after that date.

Your next decision

Choose the wording the record supports. Opening a source shows where the sentence points. It does not confirm the sentence.

Ask us to show a held citation, and who can release it.
