Deadline-calendar source maps for offshore legal support
Connect each calendar entry to its approved source while deadline calculation and response decisions remain with the firm.

Map the entry to evidence
Record the matter, event label, date and time shown, source document, source location, entry owner, and date checked. Preserve the source wording instead of rewriting it as a legal conclusion.
Use an uncertainty lane
Put missing time zones, conflicting notices, unclear trigger language, duplicate entries, and dates without a source into a separate exception view. Do not calculate a period or silently select a controlling date.
Route the check
Return the map to the docket owner or attorney with the affected source attached. Keep the original calendar entry visible until the authorized reviewer gives an instruction.
