What changed in my case file after I actually built a Case File in Merito

Wanted to share this because I went in skeptical that a structured Case File would surface anything I hadn't already found manually, and it did anyway, in a way I didn't expect. The most useful thing wasn't a new piece of evidence — it was seeing my own evidence organized consistently, in one place, instead of scattered across folders with slightly different naming conventions I'd built up over months. Once everything was structured the same way, inconsistencies I hadn't noticed became obvious: two documents describing the same role with slightly different date ranges, an award listed as "2021" in one exhibit and "2022" in my personal statement. None of these were big problems on their own, but they're exactly the kind of small credibility dings that add up, and I wouldn't have caught most of them by re-reading my own scattered files the way I'd been doing. Having one consistent structure to check everything against made the inconsistencies visible instead of just living quietly in different corners of my file.
