Query Shape
Begin with user, host, process, IP, or alert ID. Keep each query tied to one question so results are easy to defend.
Timeline
Build a timeline from earliest suspicious signal through containment. Keep benign context visible so escalation notes stay fair.
Hand-Off
Include the query, key rows, time range, and why the evidence matters when escalating.
