Evidence Index vs Chronology: What Is the Difference?
An index and a chronology answer different navigation questions. An index says what evidence or items exist; a chronology places supplied or identified events and records into date order.
Practical guide
What an evidence index does
An index is a structured list of items. It commonly includes a stable reference, date where available, type, description, source and a page or attachment relationship.
Practical guide
What a chronology does
A chronology places supplied or identified material into an ordered sequence. It can identify date conflicts, gaps and links to source references without deciding what happened or why.
Practical guide
Use both without overstating them
Neither output proves authenticity, truth, legal relevance or liability. They organise supplied information for review and should preserve uncertainty where the source is unclear.
