Start with source rows

Normalization labels separate raw text, canonical form, reporter fields, and pinpoint fields.

source rows before answer\text{source rows before answer}

Example packet

The toy packet has raw, canonical, and pinpoint labels. The packet has 3 row(s).

rows=3\text{rows}=3

Support is recomputed

The retrieval table recomputes 3 support row(s) from pinned text and scope filters.

support=3\text{support}=3

Diagram note

The table does not claim Bluebook correctness, source currency, or authority weight.
