## How to read the levels

- **Green**: AI drafts, lawyer checks. The tool writes the first draft inside a template you have already tested. You check it.
- **Yellow**: Lawyer and AI draft together. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.
- **Red**: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data. You write the text. The tool writes nothing into the document. Where permitted, it may check, clarify or collect data, and anything it checks or collects is verified.
- **Manual (no AI)**: No AI at any stage. No AI is involved at any stage. This is always available and is the reference point every tool is compared against.
