## Checking plan

**Check against the source**

A checked obligations table for a contract handover.

- What the AI does: Extract agreed deliverables, notice steps, renewal mechanics and other obligations from the complete contract into a table with clause references.
- What the lawyer does: Read each material entry against the contract, reconcile cross-references and exceptions, and verify any calculated date before assigning an action.
- Who reviews: The lawyer responsible for this task
- Basis: Suggested checking workflow informed by the linked official sources. The workflow and traffic light are framework guidance, not a source-issued AI classification.
- Why: A focused work product makes the review proportionate: check the source inputs and every material result, then resolve the specific exceptions before relying on it.
- Restriction: Pause if a schedule or incorporated document is missing. Do not rely on an extracted date where the triggering event or clause meaning is uncertain.
- Written for: AU

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the executed or otherwise agreed version and include all schedules, amendments and incorporated documents.
2. Match each obligation to the correct party, trigger, condition, clause and exception; keep ambiguous provisions visible.
3. Independently verify any date calculation, notice method, recipient and dependencies before entering a diary or instruction.
4. Confirm the handover with the responsible person and preserve unresolved interpretation issues for legal advice.

## Notes

- The handover table is a suggested review technique; the ACCC source does not prescribe this AI workflow.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Use the agreement’s governing law and the actual transaction jurisdiction.

**Deliverable**: A checked obligations table for a contract handover.

**Inputs**

- Complete agreed contract
- Amendments and incorporated documents
- Confirmed commencement and other triggering dates

**Example**: A renewal date runs from service commencement, not signature. Keep the trigger unresolved until the commencement record is confirmed.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Pause if a schedule or incorporated document is missing.
- Do not rely on an extracted date where the triggering event or clause meaning is uncertain.
