The failure mode
Supplier disputes escalate when parties disagree on sequence. The record fragments across email, annexes, meeting notes, and late changes. The work is to reconstruct a chronology that survives challenge — and to surface where the narrative relies on absent evidence.
Chronology excerpt
Baseline scope and delivery dates agreed.
Execution complete; annexes referenced but not present in package.

What the pack delivers

- • Exportable index suitable for counsel, experts, or internal review teams.
