## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Extract comparable statements from the draft climate statements and from the other documents the lawyer supplies, pair them by subject, and draft a schedule of the differences with an exact reference for each side.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which differences matter, whether any amounts to a misleading representation, and which document is corrected. The lawyer judges materiality; the tool does not.
- 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. Decide which differences matter, whether any amounts to a misleading representation, and which document is corrected.
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.
