One problem can produce one main document, supporting documents, or a genuinely separate procedure.

The action map prevents unrelated filings from being hidden in one page estimate and prevents unnecessary documents from being recommended merely to increase sales.

Private dispute or demand

  1. Main: demand, notice, dispute, or response
  2. Additional: chronology, damages schedule, or evidence list
  3. Alternative: another recipient or dispute route when supported
  4. Separate: small claims, agency complaint, or lawsuit only when triggered

Court papers received

  1. Main: answer, opposition, motion, declaration, or official form
  2. Additional: exhibit index, fee-waiver request, declaration, or proposed order when required
  3. Alternative: another procedural response only when supported by the record and rules
  4. Separate: appeal, counterclaim, or independent action with its own scope

Agency or insurer decision

  1. Main: appeal, reconsideration, hearing statement, or mapped form
  2. Additional: denial-reason matrix, chronology, and supporting record
  3. Alternative: expedited or external review when the notice supports it
  4. Separate: judicial review or another benefits process

Agreement or contract

  1. Main: focused agreement, amendment, repayment plan, or release
  2. Additional: schedule, statement of work, payment plan, or exhibit
  3. Alternative: different risk allocation only when the parties choose it
  4. Separate: regulated, tax, securities, foreign-law, or major-transaction review

Main

The best-supported next document from the current facts and source papers.

Alternative

A different route that applies only when a stated factual or procedural condition is true.

Additional

A supporting document that belongs with the main package and has a defined function.

Separate

An independent proceeding or transaction with its own scope, warnings, page estimate, and price.

Limited self-help document preparation

Ordinary paperwork only — not attorney strategy or representation.

Availability depends on the state, court, agency, document type and required authorization. High-risk, strategic or regulated work may be limited to neutral fact organization and official resources or refused before payment. Review supported and excluded services.
