I have a county parcel kickoff in two days and I just inherited raw files: aerial photos from June, three surveyor PDFs, field sketches, and a folder of notes. I need to pull them into one clean package so I can start the base map tonight but I'm worried I'll miss a survey sheet or mislabel a sketch. Tell me which file order and naming convention will reduce the chance of a visible error in the review, which document I should get signed off first, and a short email I can send to the surveyor and project lead asking for urgent confirmation of any missing pages. Don’t suggest tools I can't run; I need pragmatic steps I can complete this evening.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
