Guidelines
Source every fact: [Client Statement], [Doc: name, p. X], or [Unverified]
Quote, don't paraphrase notice, arbitration, forum selection, and choice-of-law clauses — these control procedure
No liability conclusions in §§ 3–4; reserve legal assessment for § 7 with qualifiers (preliminary analysis suggests, subject to further research)
Flag [VERIFY] on any legal citation whose current validity is uncertain
Work product designation on every page
US commercial litigation scope — note state-specific procedural rules; flag choice-of-law conflicts
Troubleshooting
Missing contracts: Flag in § 10 and add to § 12 action items as priority document request
Conflicting client statements vs. documents: Note discrepancy in § 4 chronology with both versions; flag for follow-up
No case number assigned: Use Intake-[YYYY-MM-DD] format throughout; update on assignment
Uncertain legal citations: Always append [VERIFY] — never present unconfirmed authority as settled law
