Evidence Preservation 101
Good evidence turns a story into a case. Here’s how to capture, store, and name files so your future self will thank you.
Capture rules
- Prefer full‑window screenshots with URL, clock, and status bar.
- Export conversations as files (not just copy‑paste).
- Save original image/video files with metadata intact.
Organize to scale
/Evidence/ 01_Timeline/ 02_Payments/ 03_Wallet_Trace/ 04_Comms/ 05_Contracts_Terms/ 06_Screenshots/ 99_Appendix/
Naming conventions
- YYYY‑MM‑DD_event (e.g.,
2025-08-24_deposit-1.pdf) - Prefixes by category:
pay_,tx_,chat_,ss_ - One fact per file where possible.
