Description
Audit recorded case stages against a supplied unique order.
Case and statute records use identifiers, stages, time coordinates and supplied procedural assumptions. A literal comparison, count or charge calculation can help reconcile records, while actual rights, deadlines, evidence and duties depend on the applicable jurisdiction and authoritative documents.
Audit recorded case stages against a supplied unique order.
When to use this tool
Use Public Case Stage Transition Gap when checking the stated legal-record, timing or fee convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter stages, suppliedOrder. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read unknownStages, backwardTransitions, skippedLevels. Use the output convention below.
Audit recorded case stages against a supplied unique order. Count unknown labels, backward adjacent transitions and forward skipped levels only when both adjacent stages are recognized.1

| suppliedOrder | Supplied Order | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| unknownStages | Unknown Stages | Required. Safe integer. |
| backwardTransitions | Backward Transitions | Required. Safe integer. |
| skippedLevels | Skipped Levels | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The order is supplied, not legal procedure; unknown stages break comparisons without proving a procedural violation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the actual case records, governing rules and qualified legal advice for legal conclusions; use an appropriate calendar and complete document workflow for real deadlines.
