Build An Evidence Packet with the Pyramid

Key takeaways

1. 1Start with primary records proving the fact, then add corroboration, impact, expert explanation and context.
2. 2Use the because test: I led X, which mattered because Y, resulting in Z, recognized by A.
3. 3The pyramid is a teaching aid, not a USCIS hierarchy; identify relationships when presenting corroboration.
