CIA feels prepared where all evidence is gathered? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

case file

'where all evidence is gathered?' is the definition.
(all the evidence in a case)

'cia feels prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cia'+'feels'='ciafeels'
'ciafeels' with letters rearranged gives 'CASE FILE'.

(Another definition for case file that I've seen is " documents".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
