Quote what published agency statements say a system does
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- One row per statement the lawyer has put in the file. Columns are the agency name printed, the system name printed, and the sentence that says what the system does. Copy that sentence. Write no advice.
- What the lawyer must review
- Formal Opinion 512 requires review before tool output is relied on. 5 U.S.C. § 706 is the scope of judicial review of federal agency action, including action without observance of procedure required by law. It does not describe a particular system. You decide what the statement is worth. No agency technology memorandum was opened.
