Why it Matters?
Narrative quality determines whether necessary work gets paid, since a reviewer cannot approve time they cannot evaluate. The entries that survive review identify the specific document reviewed, the issue researched, or the purpose of the communication. This is the highest-return training investment in a defense practice, because the work is already being done and only the description is costing revenue.
