Preserve the chain from source to summary.
Begin with an untouched source export, a documented mapping, and a validation log. Each summary metric should remain traceable to the records and screening method behind it.
Build the package in layers.
- Source inventory and data-quality summary.
- Methodology, definitions, assumptions, and limitations.
- Matter-level findings and pattern tables.
- Selected punch evidence and reconstructed timelines.
- Reviewer decisions, notes, and unresolved questions.
Design for the next reviewer.
The package should allow a colleague to reproduce the path from a headline count to an individual shift, understand which records were reviewed, and identify what additional evidence may be needed.
