## 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 product, batch and distribution records and the hazard assessment, fill the recall notification form, draft the consumer recall notice and the stockist notice from the client's templates, and calculate the notification deadline.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the recall action date and the deadline, check the hazard description and the remedy offered, settle the consumer notice so it is accurate and does not understate the hazard, and approve the notification before it is sent.
- 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. Confirm the date recall action was taken and count the 2 days, applying the weekend and public holiday rule.
3. Check the affected batches, dates and identifiers against the distribution records.
4. Check the consumer notice describes the hazard and remedy accurately.
5. 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.
