## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Banking & Finance (Lending, Securities, Project Finance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/banking-and-finance.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List each closing condition from the credit agreement, the document that answers it, and whether that document is in the closing set. |
| What the lawyer must review | Each condition is the clause in this agreement, not a market standard. Opinion 512 allows you to use a checklist only after you have tested the tool on a sample of conditions and compared the rows with the agreement. Do not tell the client the conditions are met because a row says a document is present. Keep the closing set out of a public tool (Model Rule 1.6). |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List each closing condition from the credit agreement, the document that answers it, and whether that document is in the closing set.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- This checklist is the closing set. It is not the live conditions-precedent tracker.
- Presence of a document is not satisfaction of the condition. You read the document.
