Date extraction
Record available dates from emails, letters, invoices, reports and messages.
Source-linked timeline preparation
Litigation & Evidence Chronology Support
Build a structured factual timeline from dated records while keeping sources, uncertainty and conflicting evidence visible.
For litigants, organisations and advisers reconstructing an event sequence.
What the service does
A chronology should show its sources and limits
A useful working chronology connects each entry to a document, message or other dated record. It distinguishes a source date from an assumption.
Chronology is an optional module built on document indexing. It can be selected without buying full disclosure support; conflicts remain for human review and Disclosure Assist does not decide credibility, causation, liability or truth.
Source links
Connect each entry to the relevant source record and location.
Conflict flags
Show inconsistent or uncertain dates rather than choosing silently.
Review and correction
Let authorised reviewers confirm descriptions and preserve changes.

Service detail 01
Dated records that can inform a chronology
Candidates can come from metadata, document text or a date stated in a record. The basis of the date remains visible.
Messages and attachments can be included without losing their relationship.
- Emails and messages
- Letters and correspondence
- Contracts and reports
- Invoices and financial records
- Other dated files
Service detail 02
Unknown and conflicting dates stay visible
Where records provide different dates, the chronology can show both sources or flag the issue. Disclosure Assist does not decide which record is correct.
A working sequence improves navigation but does not prove causation, liability, credibility or legal significance.
Clear service boundary
Sequence is separate from legal or factual conclusions
Disclosure Assist prepares a neutral, source-linked working chronology. We do not infer missing facts, resolve conflicting evidence, decide credibility, determine causation or liability, make truth findings, or guarantee outcomes.
Disclosure Assist provides technical and administrative document support. We are not a solicitors' firm and do not provide legal advice or legal representation.

Frequently asked questions
Do you infer missing dates?
No. Missing or uncertain dates are labelled and require an attributable basis.
Does the chronology prove what happened?
No. It is a working timeline and makes no truth, credibility, causation or liability finding.
Can emails and messages be included?
Yes, while preserving message and attachment provenance.
How are conflicting dates shown?
The conflict and its sources are preserved rather than silently reconciled.
Can entries link to source documents?
Yes, where technically feasible in the agreed working output.
