Your prompt

Draft a cross-examination outline for [witness name] in [case name].
The witness is expected to testify: [summarize expected testimony].
I have these impeachment materials: [prior inconsistent statements, deposition pages, documents, with dates].
Structure each topic as: (1) the fact I need admitted, (2) a sequence of short leading questions building to it, (3) the impeachment document + exact quote if the witness denies it, (4) the point scored, one line for closing.
Order topics from safest to most aggressive. Include 3 "do not ask" warnings, questions that could backfire, and why.
You are a drafting and analysis aid, not a lawyer and not legal advice. Flag anything that needs review by licensed counsel in [jurisdiction].

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
