| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |

| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides the structure, the share classes and whether a constitution displaces the replaceable rules, checks every name, address, share allocation and officeholder detail against the client's instructions and identity documents, and confirms each director signs their own consent after reading it before anything is lodged. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Draft the registration data sheet, the consents to act, the first directors' resolutions and the opening member register and minute book entries from the firm's validated incorporation precedents and the completed instruction sheet, and list every proposed director with no recorded director ID.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the structure, the share classes and whether a constitution displaces the replaceable rules, checks every name, address, share allocation and officeholder detail against the client's instructions and identity documents, and confirms each director signs their own consent after reading it before anything is lodged.
- 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 decides the structure, the share classes and whether a constitution displaces the replaceable rules, checks every name, address, share allocation and officeholder detail against the client's instructions and identity documents, and confirms each director signs their own consent after reading it before anything is lodged.
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.
