Make evidence easier to review
Evidence is easier to understand when the relevant records are dated, source-labelled, organised by issue and connected to a factual chronology. A clear index helps another person find the original source without relying only on your summary.

Use a clear index
Give each record a simple reference, description, date and source so it can be found quickly.
Connect records to events
A chronology should point to the record that supports or explains each important event.
Separate originals from working copies
Keep originals untouched and label summaries, annotations, crops or redacted copies clearly.
Remove clutter, not context
Prioritise relevant records while preserving enough surrounding context to avoid misleading extracts.
Flag gaps and uncertainty
A visible missing record or estimated date is better than invented precision.
Important limitation
GetInstantProof improves organisation and reviewability. It does not certify authenticity, relevance, admissibility or legal weight.
