# Cedar & Vale Legal Services — Synthetic handover

**Demonstration only.** No real law firm, employees or documents are involved.

## Sequence
1. Take a read-only inventory, preserving original filenames and locations.
2. Verify owners, approval status, retention, permissions and sensitive content.
3. Resolve conflicts via the responsible human decision-maker. Version numbers are not approval evidence.
4. Map every retained file to a proposed controlled location.
5. Reconcile counts, permissions and links; record all exceptions.
6. Archive superseded material only when appropriate controls permit it; do not blindly delete.

## Outstanding decisions
- Which document is the authoritative policy master?
- Who owns the contract and may confirm its signed status?
- Is the staff list needed, and who may access it?
- Does the applicable retention schedule permit archival actions?

## Verification criteria
- All 12 source records accounted for; no destructive operations.
- Each sensitive or disputed record assigned for explicit review.
- Links and permissions reviewed, not merely filenames.
- Working folder structure comprehensible to a new staff member.
