Release check — what still blocks this packetNOT READY
✓ Offence confirmed
2 offences confirmed by a detective — the element board is built from that.
✕ Elements coverage
3 of 9 elements still need evidence. · Fix it on the board →
Burglary of an occupied dwelling — Identity of the perpetrator
Grand theft — motor vehicle — Identity of the perpetrator
✕ Contradictions reviewed
X1, X2 open — resolve or explain before release · Fix it on the ledger →
✓ Admissibility flags
No flagged items load-bearing
✓ Every statement sourced
All 23 statements in this case name a source, and every source resolves.
The packet won't call itself ready while elements are open, contradictions unreviewed, or a statement cannot name its source. That's not friction — that gate is Brady diligence, and it's protecting this case in court.
Packet structure — one skeleton for every detective, every unit
01 · Case summary
02 · Offense and elements
03 · Timeline (cited)
04 · People, vehicles, and places
05 · Evidence inventory
06 · Statement index
07 · Contradiction status
08 · Identification basis — nothing in this case yet. The section stays; it is never dropped.
09 · Risk disclosures (the Devil's Advocate)
Every case ships these sections, in this order — an empty one says it is empty rather than vanishing. The narrative stays human-written; the structure stays identical, so the defense can never play "Officer Wilinsky wrote it differently" against the department.
