Designed change
A proposed chronology would distinguish supported events, conflicting accounts and questions requiring further work.
Illustrative scenario combining common practice needs. Software shown is a suggested stack.
Build from the document
The scenario starts with a selected set of matter documents. An AI-assisted pass would suggest events, dates and source references for a reviewer to examine. Statements from different sources would remain distinguishable, including whether a date records an event or a later recollection of it.
Turn uncertainty into work
The lawyer would check proposed entries, retain disagreements and identify gaps needing instructions or further documents. Those questions could become assigned matter tasks through the firm's chosen handover process. The working chronology would then show both the account being developed and the enquiries still open, without presenting a polished table as a settled finding of fact.
The practical lesson
A chronology is more useful when uncertainty becomes visible work rather than disappearing during editing.
