Why this helps
Inconsistent names make it harder to find the right document when a case comes back later.
- Check whether chosen references return useful matches.
- Catch naming inconsistencies during a regular review.
- Keep retrieval terms visible in a concise report.

Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow verify every document has a correct name?
It can search for supplied terms and report matches. It cannot know the required naming standard unless you provide it.
Does this rename files?
No. It only searches Dropbox and reports the matching files.
