QUICK START
1. Review the implementation guide.
2. Choose the print, fillable, or editable path that matches the local workflow.
3. Adapt the DOCX files to local law, policy, services, records requirements, evidence procedures, and routing.
4. Pilot the form with a small group of requesters and examiners.
5. Publish one approved version in a controlled location.
6. Remove superseded copies and maintain a local revision history.

IMPORTANT
This kit is a starting framework. It does not replace legal review, agency policy, prosecutor requirements, evidence procedures, records obligations, or the judgment of a qualified examiner. The fillable PDF remains a local file. It does not transmit information to Forge & Verse or any outside service. Do not place passwords or sensitive credentials on the intake form unless that method is specifically approved by your organization.
