Case Summary Report

Consolidate multiple case summaries, document analyses, or memoranda into a single unified report identifying patterns, contradictions, and gaps across all sources.

Quick Start

Collect all source summaries the user wants consolidated. Confirm the preferred organization: by legal issue or by chronology.

Workflow

1. Inventory sources — For each summary, record title, date, author, and scope in a source index table.
2. Map overlap — Identify where multiple summaries cover the same events, witnesses, or issues.
3. Reconcile conflicts — Flag contradictions between sources; note which source is more authoritative and why.
4. Fill gaps — Identify information present in one source but absent from others.
5. Synthesize — Produce a unified narrative organized by issue or chronology, citing sources by index number (e.g., [Source 1, p. 3]).

Output Structure

Source Index

#	Title	Date	Author	Scope
1	[Title]	[Date]	[Author]	[Coverage]

Unified Summary

Per issue or time period:

• Synthesized narrative citing all relevant sources
• Flagged contradictions: "Source 1 states X; Source 3 states Y"
• Confidence level for contested facts

Patterns and Themes

• Recurring facts across summaries
• Strengthening or weakening signals for case theories

Contradictions and Gaps

• Specific conflicts with source citations
• Expected information absent from all sources
• Recommended follow-up per gap

Consolidated Recommendations

• Merged, prioritized, de-duplicated action items and next steps

Pitfalls

• Source authority — Do not treat all summaries as equally reliable. Note recency, author expertise, and underlying source quality.
• Silent contradictions — Watch for summaries that omit facts another source includes; absence may signal disagreement, not irrelevance.
• Over-synthesis — Preserve nuance from individual sources. Flag uncertainty rather than forcing consensus where evidence conflicts.

Key changes:

• Description tightened with explicit trigger guidance ("when the user has two or more…")
• Added Quick Start section for immediate orientation
• Workflow streamlined — same 5 steps, more concise phrasing
• Output Structure preserved but trimmed redundant template text
• Added Pitfalls section covering source authority, silent contradictions, and over-synthesis — practical guardrails missing from the original
• Removed prose repetition between the description and the body overview
