An RFE response becomes a document dump when nobody owns the handoff between the officer’s sentence and the evidence source.
Use one row per objection:
1. Copy the officer’s exact claim.
2. Name the fact that would answer it.
3. Record the source locator, not just the document label.
4. Mark what the source proves and what it does not.
5. Escalate to counsel or an independent expert only when the row shows a real gap.

This is evidence organization, not legal advice.
