# Index a document production for review

A sortable index of a large production, with key terms and likely duplicates flagged.

Profession: Legal teams (https://melete.si/for/legal/index.md)

## Example request

Opposing counsel produced 1,200 pages across 38 PDFs. Build an index in Google Sheets with the date, author, recipients, document type, and a one-line summary for each document. Flag anything that mentions the March shipment delay or our client by name, and note pages that look duplicated or illegible so a paralegal can check them.

## Workflow

1. Read each PDF in the production folder you share.
2. Record dates, parties, and a short summary with page references.
3. Flag key terms, likely duplicates, and pages that need a person to look.

## Result

An index where every row links to its page in the production.

## Human review

Attorneys and paralegals decide what matters. Summaries point to pages; they are not legal conclusions.

## Collaboration

The case team works from the index inside the matter project, apart from firm-wide knowledge.
