Who it serves
Lawyers and legal teams who want a dependable everyday method.
The task
Work from a fictional client-instruction note, a short document set and an approved example of the desired output. Define the assignment, the relevant facts, the permitted sources and the form of the deliverable. Ask for a first draft, inspect it against the source pack, and correct unsupported or missing points.
The exercise
Prepare an initial matter briefing for a supervising lawyer: the client's stated objective, a factual chronology, missing information, and the questions that need professional judgement.
