| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the customer’s data request, questionnaire and any proposed contract clause, list each item of data sought, the standard or method it refers to, the deadline, any assurance, audit or warranty attached and any liability or termination consequence, and compare the clause with the supplier’s existing contract. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides what data the supplier can reliably give and on what basis, what qualifications and estimates should accompany it, whether to accept any warranty, audit or indemnity, and settles the response and any contract changes. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the customer’s data request, questionnaire and any proposed contract clause, list each item of data sought, the standard or method it refers to, the deadline, any assurance, audit or warranty attached and any liability or termination consequence, and compare the clause with the supplier’s existing contract.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides what data the supplier can reliably give and on what basis, what qualifications and estimates should accompany it, whether to accept any warranty, audit or indemnity, and settles the response and any contract changes.
- 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. Check each data item against what the supplier actually measures, separating measured from estimated data.
2. Confirm any warranty or indemnity is limited to what the supplier can stand behind.
3. Check the response states the basis and date of each figure.

## 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.
