When to use it
Use before producing anniversary films, speeches and displays. Record one fact per row and list every place it appears.
The company and history in the examples are fictional. Oral recollections or old publicity alone do not establish a legal incorporation date. Check permission to publish or reproduce source material separately.

What to have ready
- Original records for each organisational event
- Records establishing the date, name at the time and what happened
- Film timecodes, script pages, panel numbers and approval owners
Record incorporation, the start of operations, listing and name changes as separate events.
Check how precisely the sources establish the date and write within that detail.
Record the wording version approved by the records and publication owners, together with every media location using it.
After changing wording, recheck every use. Separate completed checks from positions still needing correction.
