What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Evidence planning sheet

Completes: A four-column planning sheet listing each evidence stream, the specific items in it, a reliability rating, and the key limitation, used to plan the investigation report.

Evidence planning (Maria, Period 2):

I rated reliability higher where the collection was controlled, the chain of custody was unbroken, and controls were used. The autopsy and lab streams rated high; the suspect-information stream rated lower because it relied on a single interview.

Stream	Items I have	Reliability	Key limitation
Scene	Photos, sketch, fiber	High	One transfer logged late
Lab	Biomolecule and tox data	High	Pigment interference on one unknown
Autopsy	Histology, heart findings	High	Microscopy alone not conclusive
Suspect	One interview	Low	Single, unverified source

Also due today: Hand in your planning sheet before leaving. Also complete the online open-investigation planning task.
