Explanatory facts become relevant when necessary to clarify issues, inferences, identity, timing, location, relationships, or conduct.

Explanatory and introductory facts are relevant where necessary to explain a fact in issue, support or rebut an inference, establish identity, fix time or place, or show the relationship between parties to a transaction. Their relevance is limited to what is necessary for that purpose. Contextual facts and accompanying statements may explain conduct or the nature of a transaction, while unrelated details remain irrelevant unless required to establish the necessary context.
