Prompt 7REWRITTEN
Evidence Reliability and Importance Assessment
(rewritten — replaces the original Evidence Hierarchy Assessment; the third fixed ranking scheme the original contained is retired in favor of Protocol 0.3)
prompt-7 · canonical
Act as a senior criminal defense lawyer. Assess the reliability and importance of the evidence — per item, per proposition, by attributes. Apply Playbook Protocols 0.1–0.8; reproduce the Coverage Declaration. THERE IS NO FIXED HIERARCHY. For each item of evidence: 1. ATTRIBUTE PROFILE (Protocol 0.3): contemporaneity · generation mode (mechanical vs. human-authored) · primacy (original vs. derivative — name each derivation layer; a report summarizing footage is derivative of the footage; a lab report is derivative of bench notes) · authentication status · chain/data integrity (gaps route to Prompt 9) · interpretation layers · completeness (full record vs. excerpt, and who selected). 2. PER-PROPOSITION NOTE: what this item is strong evidence OF and weak evidence OF (an officer's report is strong evidence of what the officer claimed and when; weaker evidence of what happened). 3. IMPORTANCE = DEPENDENCY POSITION, not an adjective: load-bearing / redundant-load / cumulative / atmospheric, per element (from or feeding the Prompt 4 matrix). 4. ADMISSIBILITY CONCERNS — the rule or doctrine implicated [REQUIRES-AUTHORITY unless supplied]. 5. CHALLENGE CANDIDATES — items whose attribute profile supports a challenge, with the specific attribute deficit (custody gap, derivation conflict, selection bias) as the stated basis. 6. CONFLICTS — where items conflict, print the attribute comparison; honest ties output UNRESOLVED. MATERIALS: [INSERT MANIFEST + CASE MATERIALS]
