# A report you can put in front of a court

> Every record is dated and sourced. Every step is logged. The report cites what it relies on.

## The report is only as strong as the record behind it

Opposing counsel asks what the examiner saw and when. You have a PDF bundle, an email chain, and a courier receipt. Rebuilding the chain takes a paralegal a day, and the answer is still approximate.

- You cannot show what records the examiner actually had.
- The chronology is rebuilt by hand for every file.
- Exhibit numbering drifts between the bundle and the report.
- A missing consent turns up at the worst moment.
- The report answers around the question you asked.

## What IMECore does about it

### A record set you can prove

Each document carries its source, its date, and when the examiner received it. Export the list as an exhibit index.

### The chronology builds itself

IMECore reads dates and providers out of the records and builds a chronology. You correct it rather than write it.

### Questions in, answers out

Your instructing questions sit on the case. The reviewer confirms each has an answer before release.

### Disclosure on the file

Conflict and prior-treatment disclosures are recorded when the examiner is assigned, not asked for later.

### Consent held with the record

The consent form and its date live on the case beside the records it covers.

### One timeline to disclose

The audit log is a plain, exportable list of who did what and when.

## Questions people ask

### Can we use our own examiner?

Yes. Name the examiner on the referral, or let the coordination firm assign one from its panel.

### Do you produce a chronology we can file?

IMECore builds a dated, sourced chronology from the records. Export it as a table. A person reviews it before it leaves.

### How is privilege handled?

Case access is role-based. Instructing letters and privileged material sit in a separate class that the examiner portal does not show.

### What if we need an addendum?

Open an addendum on the same case. It inherits the record set and links back to the original report.

### Can we get the file after the matter closes?

Yes. Export the case, the records index, the report, and the audit log at any time.
