Row 3

  1. Rule
  2. Operational Standard
  3. D848 Application

  6. Notes
  1. Evidence first
  2. Record what the source establishes before interpretation; separate source statements from independent facts.

  4. ACTIVE
  5. https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1426091/dl
  6. Administrative/official source, not a merits adjudication.

Row 5

  1. No guilt by association
  2. A name, relationship, contact entry, reference, professional role, or appearance in an EFTA file never creates a culpability edge by itself.
  3. D848 mentions categories of persons and later reporting obligations; no person-level culpability edges created.

  4. ACTIVE
  5. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nysdce/1%3A2025cv10468/654959/10/

Row 8

  1. Gross vs unique denominator
  2. Do not treat the 3.5M production benchmark as a unique-page count.
  3. DOJ says over-collection and intra-DOJ sharing created duplication and the non-duplicative responsive count is significantly smaller.
  4. ACTIVE
  5. https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1426091/dl
  6. Project progress denominator remains 3.5M as a working gross-production benchmark.
  1. Charge-evidence promotions
  2. Promote VERIFIED_EVIDENCE_USED only when a sufficiently strong source establishes trial use and count relationship.
  3. D848 is production-process reporting; zero charge-evidence promotions.
  4. ACTIVE
  5. Counts 1,3,5,6 remain continuity-qualified carry-forward states.

Row 10

  1. Jury firewall
  2. Never infer juror mental process from admission, summation, verdict, or post-trial filings.

  4. ACTIVE
  5. No juror mental-process inference.

Row 11

  1. Duplicate control

  4. ACTIVE
  5. https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1426091/dl
  6. Six physical pages total.
