Timeline so far
Optional. Build the timeline as you go — the time, what happened, and how you know. It is saved with your notes and goes into your case file.
File check: 0 of 11 exhibits logged. Cast the impression before you sample the soil — one destroys the other.
Bench results
Nothing logged yet. Flag anything that looks out of place with the Evidence marker, then set a scale on it before the casting kit or sampler will touch it.
Every bench result comes back with its own limits. An "inconclusive" is a real answer and you can cite it.
