## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Record who checked the work. The lawyer sets the level of supervision and settles the work.

- What the AI does: From the file, enter the tool, the piece of work, the person who checked it, and the date. Do not mark the work as checked unless the file already records a check.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the level of supervision, confirms the checker knows the area well enough to detect errors, and does not settle the work until it has been reviewed.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Each discrete piece of work produced with a tool is checked. The checker has sufficient knowledge of the area to detect errors.
2. The level of supervision takes account of the complexity of the task, how long the tool has been in operation, and whether it was trained for the task or repurposed.
3. The tool is used only with the firm's approval and on the conditions the firm has set. Products are revised, so the system is audited periodically.
4. On the joint statement, use by junior and support staff is supervised, and a document that contains generated content is reviewed for accuracy and verified before it is settled.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
