Audit an answer before it goes in a letter

With land, 'invented' looks like diligence. Forty acres when the deed says 38.6. Title 'clear' when nobody searched it. An easement the model assumed from the road. Three hundred feet of frontage read off nothing. 'Buildable' with no perc test, no will-serve letter, no zoning pull. A redemption date stated with a clerk's confidence by something that has never called a clerk. It all reads like a buyer who did the work. The audit is a list, not a feeling. Pull every claim out of the draft, one per line, and next to each write the record that proves it: the deed, the plat map, the tax record, the title search you ordered, the county's own zoning page. A claim with no record gets [NEEDS: the record to go pull], and the letter does not go out, and the offer does not get made, until every [NEEDS] is gone. Any date from a statute is quoted from the record and routed to an attorney in that state, never computed. The model builds the list. It pulls nothing. Draft copy, not legal, title or investment advice. Reviewed by: nobody yet.

Here is a draft owner letter and the parcel summary behind it: [paste]. List every factual claim, one per line: acreage, boundaries, frontage, access, title status, easements, zoning, utilities, dates, owner names, heir shares. Next to each, write the record that would prove it (deed / plat map / tax record / title search / zoning page / clerk's written answer / other). Do not tell me whether the claim is true; you cannot know. Any statutory date: write 'attorney in that state', not a record. End with the count and the records I must pull.
