Document Chronology: a playbook you can actually use.

Extract a chronology and issue list from supplied case documents. This page gives you a copy-ready prompt, a controlled workflow, a practical tool stack, and a mini-agent concept you can implement gradually.

Copy-ready prompt

Using only the supplied case documents, build a chronology with date, event, source document, page/section if available, and uncertainty notes

Inputs to supply: provided case documents and metadata only

Using only the supplied case documents, build a chronology with date, event, source document, page/section if available, and uncertainty notes. Then list open factual questions. Do not infer facts not supported by the record.
Controlled workflow

From intake to human-approved action.

AI extracts dates/events

Tool stack

Use the fewest tools that solve the problem.

These are example tool categories and common products—not endorsements. Prefer tools you already operate, can secure, and can integrate cleanly.

Mini-agent concept

Legal Chronology Assistant

A narrow assistant for this one workflow—not an autonomous replacement for staff. Give it approved source information, restrict what it may decide, log outputs, and require human approval at the consequential step.

Guardrail

Where the human stays in charge.

Attorney review is mandatory. Protect privilege/confidentiality, verify citations and authorities, use approved legal-research sources, and never treat generated text as legal judgment.
