Build a case chronology
Every dated fact from the record, with the document it came from.
Fill it in
Everything you have.
So the gaps and clusters are visible.
Periods with no documents are findings.
Your prompt
Build a chronology from . One row per dated fact, with the document and page it came from. A chronology without sources is a story, and the first time it is challenged the whole thing has to be rebuilt. Separate what a document SHOWS from what someone later said about it. Contemporaneous records and recollections belong in different columns, because that distinction is usually the case. Flag the gaps. A three-week silence in the middle of an active dispute is a finding, not an absence, and it tells you what to ask for in discovery. Draw the timeline so clusters and silences are visible at a glance. Use a consistent date format and flag anything undated or ambiguous.

Why this works
A chronology without sources is a story, and the first challenge means rebuilding it. This cites the document and page for every dated fact, separates contemporaneous records from later recollection, and flags silences, which are findings rather than absences.
