What a memo is
A Tribuno memo is a research-support draft based on selected source material. It organises comparable decisions, source facts, caveats and citation checks.
Before generating
Review the selected research file. Remove weak or irrelevant decisions. Include a clear research question and enough source material to support a balanced memo.
- Confirm selected ET decisions are in scope.
- Review promoted Lens citations separately from ET sources.
- Check citation readiness and review items.
- Approve the suggested research plan only after checking the source scope.
After generating
Check every cited source before use. Confirm that quoted or summarised facts match the source decision. Treat uncertainty flags seriously and revise the source set if the memo is too thin.
Taking an exact memo into Word
A completed saved memo has a Word document download for the exact version on screen. The document keeps the memo narrative, researcher-authored brief, tribunal sources, promoted Lens citations, caveats and known review gaps separate. It contains research assistance, not legal advice, and still requires source checking before use.
