## 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: Build the item-by-item table of the payment claim against every reason for withholding in the payment schedule, index the contract, site records and payment history into the application bundle, and assist the lawyer with the submissions on entitlement under the lawyer's direction.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the triggering event and the last day of the window against the applicable Act, confirm the nominating authority or registry is the correct one, and check that nothing in the submissions goes beyond the claim as served.
- 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 triggering event and the last day of the window against the applicable Act, confirm the nominating authority or registry is the correct one, and check that nothing in the submissions goes beyond the claim as served.
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.
