Transcript workflow
Record workflows for deposition transcripts
Use a deposition transcript as a record to navigate, not a story to embellish. Start with the complete transcript and its page-line numbering, ask for a narrow work product, then return to the cited question and answer before using any finding.
A verification-first process
- 01
Preserve the transcript’s coordinates
Keep page and line numbers, speaker labels, exhibit references, and any errata visible. If the source has only timestamps, state that explicitly instead of inventing page-line coordinates.
- 02
Choose one transcript task
Separate summary, admission extraction, contradiction review, outline drafting, and designation review. A narrower assignment makes omissions and category mistakes easier to detect.
- 03
Require the supporting exchange
Ask for the relevant question and answer, not an isolated sentence. A quotation can be accurate while the characterization around it is not.
- 04
Verify before reuse
Open every cited location in the certified transcript, read enough surrounding testimony to restore context, and confirm the speaker, exhibit, and any correction.
Use transcript-native citations
- Prefer page:line or page:line-range when the certified transcript provides it.
- For timestamped recordings, preserve the source name and timestamp and label it as a recording citation.
- Quote only text that appears at the cited location; keep paraphrase and quotation visibly distinct.
- Mark an item “not located” when the source does not support it instead of supplying a likely answer.
Human verification checklist
- The page and line range exists in the source.
- The quoted words, speaker, and question-answer context match.
- Errata, objections, and exhibit references that affect meaning are included.
- The output does not convert uncertainty into an admission or conclusion.
