# Dispute Route Map — Orientation Sheet

**Status:** Interactive v1 live (client-side) · 2026-09-04
**Cluster:** 19 · Commercial dispute routes  
**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04  
**Instrument type:** Decision checklist (qualification sheet)

This sheet is published content. It is **not** a determination by a mandate-holder. Zatra prepares and coordinates; this is not legal advice and names no advocate.

## Why this magnet exists

Write forum, sequence and budget lines as open questions before you treat a commercial dispute as filed.

## Qualification fields (fill before you contact the desk)

| Field | Your note |
|:---|:---|
| **Dispute type** | |
| **Forum clause** | |
| **Suspected forum** | |
| **Documents held** | |
| **Open budget lines** | |

## Orientation checks (self-serve)

1. **Type → forum hypothesis.**
2. **Read the clause.**
3. **Budget as open lines.** No invented fees.
4. **Not litigation advice.**

## What this sheet deliberately does not do

- Commence proceedings or give litigation advice
- Replace the courts, tribunals or an advocate
- Finish the full Dispute Route Map
