Purpose: [WHAT THIS STATEMENT MUST ESTABLISH]

Notes from interview:
[PASTE — de-identified]

Rules:
- Use ONLY what the witness said
- First person, the witness's own register, not legal language
- Chronological unless there is a reason otherwise
- Distinguish what they observed from what they were told from
  what they concluded — the statement must make this explicit
- Do not add detail, do not smooth over uncertainty, do not
  resolve their hesitations
- Where the notes are ambiguous, mark [CLARIFY WITH WITNESS]
- Where a point needs corroboration, mark [DOCUMENT REQUIRED]

Produce the statement, then list every question I still need to
ask this witness.
