You need to clarify the objective Ok, so we're looking to prepare for a case, is that correct? We need to come up with a plan to be case ready? Time for clarifying questions: What is our timline?

Absolutely! In a written case you still need to narrow your framework/hypotheses. You still need a plan of attack in order to parse through all of the information you will receive...so as to not get distracted by information that doesn't matter
