## 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: Draft the offer document sections from the plan rules and the board's approved grant terms under the lawyer's direction, and build the issue cap calculation from the entity's grant and issue history.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the regime and relief relied on, tests each condition, checks the cap calculation against the constitution's specified cap, and approves the document before it goes to participants.
- 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. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. The lawyer confirms the regime and relief relied on, tests each condition, checks the cap calculation against the constitution's specified cap, and approves the document before it goes to participants.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
