## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the species, the origin and the destination the lawyer records, list the import, export or movement headings on the official wildlife page the lawyer has opened for each place. Do not say that the movement is permitted.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which licences or movement authorities are required at the origin and at the destination before the animal is moved.
- 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. Open the wildlife movement page for the place of origin and the place of destination, not only the keeping page.
2. Do not treat a keeping licence as permission to move the animal.
3. The lawyer decides whether the movement can proceed. The tool does not.

## 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.
