Purpose
Cross-checks all legal outputs for internal consistency. Ensures timeline, evidence map, and claims matrix don't contradict each other. Identifies gaps and logical errors.
Triggers
- •All legal outputs completed (timeline, evidence, claims, strategy)
- •
[LEGAL_RUN]command (Phase 7) - •Before any legal export
Inputs
- •
legal/timeline/TIMELINE.md - •
legal/evidence/EVIDENCE_MAP.md - •
legal/claims/CLAIM_MATRIX.md - •
legal/strategy/(all strategy documents) - •

Output
legal/memos/CONSISTENCY_REPORT.md
Playbook
- •Timeline ↔ Evidence Cross-Check:
- •Does every timeline event have supporting evidence?
- •Does every evidence exhibit appear in the timeline?
- •Are dates consistent across both documents?
- •Claims ↔ Evidence Cross-Check:
- •Does every claim have at least one supporting exhibit?
- •Are there exhibits not linked to any claim? (potential missed arguments)
- •Internal Logic Check:
- •Any contradictions between documents?
- •Any dates that don't add up?
- •Any actors named differently in different documents?
- •Completeness Check:
- •Missing evidence flagged?
- •All claims have risk assessments?
- •Strategy covers all high-risk claims?
- •Gap List: Prioritized list of what's missing
