+- ❓ = Unresolved discrepancy  
+
+#### **1. Mediation Scheduling & Payment**  
+| Date | Event | Evidence |  
+|------|-------|----------|  
+| **May 20** | Mediation scheduled for **June 17 at 11:00 AM** (Debbie’s confirmation email). | ✅ [Debbie’s email, May 20] |  
+| **June 7** | Payment deadline for $150 deposits. | ✅ [Debbie’s May 20 email] |  
+| **June 9** | Debbie emails Knicky: Mediation canceled due to **Jason’s nonpayment**. Offers reinstatement if paid. | ✅ [Debbie to Knicky, June 9] |  
+| **June 10** | Jason pays $150 via Zelle after learning of cancellation. Debbie confirms payment reinstates mediation. | ✅ [Jason’s June 10 email; Debbie’s reply] |  
+
+#### **2. Disclosures & Cancellation**  
+| Date | Event | Evidence |  
+|------|-------|----------|

+| Date | Event | Evidence |  
+|------|-------|----------|  
+| **June 17** | Knicky states mediation was at 11:00 AM (per May 20 email). Mediator (Haas) claims it was at **1:00 PM**. | ✅ [Knicky’s forward of May 20 email; Haas’s June 17 reply] |  
+| **June 17** | Jason notes Knicky falsely blamed **Ms. Davis** for nonpayment (Debbie’s June 9 email cited Jason). | ✅ [Knicky’s June 17 email vs. Debbie’s June 9 email] |  
+
+---
+
+### **Unresolved Discrepancies**  
+1. **Disclosures**  
+   - Jason’s Evidence:  
+     - June 9 email with attachments + Knicky’s reply.  
+     - June 16/17 re-sent disclosures.  
+   - Knicky’s Claim:  
+     - Only received "blank draft."  
+   - ❓ **No evidence** of "blank draft" in emails. Knicky did not forward or describe it.  
+
+2. **Mediation Time**  
+   - ✅ May 20 email: 11:00 AM.  
+   - ✅ Haas’s June 17 email: "I have it down for 1pm."  
+   - ❓ **Scheduler error?** No explanation from Debbie.  
+
+3. **$300 Cancellation Fee**  
+   - ✅ Debbie’s policy applies (Knicky’s client canceled without Jason’s agreement).  
+   - ❓ No confirmation fee was paid.  
+
+---
+
+### **Documented Claims vs. Evidence**  
+| Party | Claim | Evidence Status |  
+|-------|-------|-----------------|  
+| **Knicky** | "Ms. Davis failed to pay." | ❌ **False** (Debbie’s June 9 email blames Jason). |  
+| **Knicky** | "No disclosures received." | ⚠️ **Contested** (Jason’s screenshots show otherwise). |  
+| **Jason** | "Disclosures sent June 9/16." | ✅ **Verified** (email threads + attachments). |  
+| **Jason** | "Opposed cancellation." | ✅ **Verified** (June 16 email to Debbie). |  
+| **Haas** | "Mediation at 1:00 PM." | ❓ **Conflict** (May 20 email says 11:00 AM). |  
+
+---
+
+### **Recommended Neutral Actions**  
+1. **Resolve Time Discrepancy**:  
+   - Ask Debbie to clarify why Haas had 1:00 PM.  
+2. **Verify Disclosures**:  
+   - Require Knicky to:  
+     - Produce the alleged "blank draft" SFS, or  
+     - Acknowledge receipt of June 9 disclosures.  
+3. **Enforce Cancellation Policy**:  
+   - Confirm if $300 fee was paid by Knicky’s client.
