FLING does not name the author. It examines the writing — the letters, the ciphers, and the habits of language that run through them — and records what each method of examination can and cannot show. Claims are attributed, methods are named, and disputes are preserved.

- The letters — Q-DOC 01 — Every communication attributed to the Zodiac, transcribed exactly, with its attribution status.
- The ciphers — Q-DOC 02 — Z408, Z340, Z13, Z32 — what was solved, how, and what the solutions do and do not establish.
- Methodology — Q-DOC 03 — How FLING reads: stylometry, authorship attribution, and the limits of both.
