Not a tidied-up download. A case file: a sourced chronology, an exhibit index, draft pleadings, and a reading order — the matter assembled the way counsel would want to receive it.
I.
A sourced chronology
Who did what, when — with the verbatim quote and the path to its source. Every entry is typed (Fact, Exhibit, Summary), and every entry can be opened to the document beneath it. Where the record contradicts itself, the row carries a flag, drawn so it reads without relying on color.

II.
An exhibit index
The documents that matter, pulled from the noise, numbered and ordered. Each exhibit carries its origin in the corpus, a one-line description, and the chronology entries it supports — so the index and the timeline read as one.

Ex. CEmail thread re: waterfall languagesourced
Ex. DQuarterly distribution ledger, Apr–Junsourced
Fictional matter — Adler v. Brent.
III.
Draft pleadings
A first petition you redline, not write from scratch. The allegations are grounded in sourced facts; each one is traceable to the chronology and, through it, to the document. You bring the judgment and the strategy — Matterfile spares you the blank page.

IV.
A reading order for counsel
The case in the order you'd want to learn it. Start with the three threads that decide the matter, then the exhibits that anchor them, then the open questions worth a conversation with the client. Ten minutes to orient; an afternoon to own it.
Begins withthe facts the matter turns on
Ends withthe gaps and the questions for the client
Sourced, not summarized
Every fact shows its work — the verbatim quote and the document behind it. Nothing asserted you can't stand behind.
