Workspace for Capturing and Organizing Sources: Evidence-First Layout (2026)

Evidence-first workspaces separate raw from interpreted on purpose.

Folder anatomy

  • 00 Inbox — unprocessed captures
  • 10 Primary sources — regulators, companies, courts
  • 20 Commentary — news, blogs, social threads
  • 30 Internal — your memos and drafts (often not clipped)

Metadata that pays rent

Always capture: who published, what claim matters, why you saved it.

Speed trick

Keep a keyboard-first capture habit. If capture is slow, your workspace becomes a graveyard of intent.
