| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the pleadings, the issues list and each side’s proposed questions, build a comparison table of the questions, facts and assumptions proposed, mark where they differ or are framed selectively, and draft a proposed joint set and conference agenda for the lawyer to rework. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer settles the questions and assumptions so they are unbiased and not selective, negotiates them with the other side, confirms each expert has agreed to the Code, and manages the conference and joint report process. |

## 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: From the pleadings, the issues list and each side’s proposed questions, build a comparison table of the questions, facts and assumptions proposed, mark where they differ or are framed selectively, and draft a proposed joint set and conference agenda for the lawyer to rework.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer settles the questions and assumptions so they are unbiased and not selective, negotiates them with the other side, confirms each expert has agreed to the Code, and manages the conference and joint report process.
- 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 material (including produced and subpoenaed documents subject to the implied undertaking or any confidentiality order) may go into the tool before it is used.
2. Check every assumption against the evidence.
3. Confirm each expert has signed the Code acknowledgement.
4. Confirm the agenda covers every issue on which the experts differ.

## 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.
