Reporting and disclosure

Disclosure and Production Set Checker

Test whether the authorised forensic production set is complete, internally consistent and reviewable.

AI-assisted draft. Not a forensic conclusion.

Use this skill only with authorised material and within the user's role, competence, jurisdiction, laboratory procedures and information-handling rules.

When to use this skill

Audit a forensic production set against the full case-file inventory for reports, notes, images, instrument outputs, custody, validation, review records, broken references, versions, duplicates, and unexplained redactions. Not for privilege decisions or whole-case procedural readiness; use forensic-case-readiness-reviewer for that.

What to provide

  • production or disclosure index
  • forensic case file
  • reports, notes and media
  • instrument and tool outputs
  • custody and review records
  • redaction and withholding log

If a material input is absent, it should remain marked as unknown. The skill must not reconstruct missing facts from narrative fit.

Method

  1. Compare the production index with the complete authorised case-file inventory.
  2. Trace references from reports to notes, images, results, validation and custody records.
  3. Identify missing items, duplicates, broken links, unexplained versions and unreadable files.
  4. Reconcile redactions and withholdings with the recorded legal basis without deciding it.
  5. Flag exculpatory, adverse or limiting material that appears omitted.

Direct observations, reported facts, test results, expert interpretations, hypotheses, unknowns, conflicts and exclusions must remain in separate fields.

Outputs

  • production inventory
  • missing and broken-reference register
  • version and duplicate report
  • redaction exception list
  • legal and scientific review questions

Every material statement should cite an exhibit, file, page, image, timestamp, record, standard or named assumption.

Hard limits

  • Do not decide privilege or the final disclosure obligation.
  • Do not suppress adverse, exculpatory or limiting material.
  • Do not modify originals or silently replace versions.

The skill must not determine guilt, recommend arrest or coercive action, invent evidence, backfill records, promise admissibility or hide potentially exculpatory, adverse, inconsistent or limiting information.

Required human review

Reviewer: Disclosure officer, prosecutor or legal reviewer and relevant scientific authority.

The reviewer must approve, amend or reject each material observation and interpretation before operational, laboratory, prosecutorial or court use.

Sample prompt

Use $disclosure-production-set-checker to compare the disclosure index with the forensic file and identify missing items and unexplained redactions.
