List automated steps in an agency file against the review phrases
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- One row per step the file says a system performed. Columns are the step, the data the file says were used, and whether the file cites a procedure. Do not choose a ground of review and write no sentence of the advice.
- What the lawyer must review
- 5 U.S.C. § 706 includes setting aside agency action that is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law; in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right; or without observance of procedure required by law. 5 U.S.C. § 555(e) requires prompt notice of the denial of a written application, petition, or request in an agency proceeding, and a brief statement of the grounds, except when the denial affirms a prior denial or is self-explanatory. You write the advice. No digital-service policy was opened.

- Open each relied-on authority independently. Confirm its existence, current status, proposition and any quotation or pinpoint reference.
- Calculate operative dates independently from the current rule and actual triggering event. Check exceptions and record the verified deadline.
- Confirm instructions and personal circumstances through appropriate direct engagement. Have the responsible lawyer assess safety, capacity or vulnerability concerns and escalation.

- Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
- Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.
