Purple Tab PT-004 — Tiered Evidence Positioning

GUARDRAIL: PURPLE — STRATEGIC INTEGRATION

Strategy, framework integration, and settlement positioning. References Blue/Red/Brown damages; does not duplicate calculations.

PART A — Purpose

Define a simple Tier‑1 / Tier‑2 evidence structure so every B‑lane and Purple memo can:

  • Lead with undisputed, pinned Tier‑1 documents (White tabs, transcripts, certified records).
  • Add Tier‑2 corroborants (emails, photos, media not yet formally authenticated) as supporting detail, not as the foundation.

This keeps the case robust even under aggressive evidentiary exclusions.

PART B — Tiers

  • Tier‑1 (Core).
  • [Fact] Stipulation + Exhibit 1, Great American declination, Olmsted baseline & follow‑ups, PRV, key emails (WT‑102–103, 106–113, 107–110, 101).
  • [Inference] You can tell a complete "False Claim → Promise → Betrayal → Lie" story using only Tier‑1.
  • Tier‑2 (Support).
  • [Fact] F1 demolition media (WT‑105A placeholders), some text exchanges, certain internal notes once collected, select social‑media artifacts if any.
  • [Inference] These amplify but never create an element on their own.

PART C — One‑Sentence Framework

Every argument in Purple should be survivable if the court says "Tier‑2 is out"; Tier‑1 alone must still carry the element.

PART D — Implementation Rules

  1. B‑Lane Discipline.
  2. [Fact] Each material allegation in B001–B012 should cite at least one Tier‑1 document; Tier‑2 is optional seasoning.
  3. Labeling.
  4. [Inference] In drafts, mark citations [T1] or [T2] inline to make appellate and motion practice easier.
  5. Discovery Targeting.
  6. [Inference] Use Tier‑2 gaps to drive WT‑003 tasks (what we still need to lock in as Tier‑1).
