- How AI is used
- From the notice clause and the correspondence the lawyer designates, list each required notice, the trigger, the contractual time, and the date a notice was sent or received.
- What the lawyer must review
- The register is an index. The lawyer checks each date against the document before anyone relies on it. On a federal public-works contract, a payment-bond claimant who has no direct contract with the contractor must give written notice to the contractor within 90 days from the last labor or material, and a civil action on the bond must be brought no later than one year after the last labor or material (40 U.S.C. § 3133). Those periods are not the contract’s notice periods. Formal Opinion 512: verify any generated date or statutory reference.

Checklist
- Trace every relied-on figure to its source, confirm dates and assumptions, and independently recalculate totals or derived amounts.
- Calculate operative dates independently from the current rule and actual triggering event. Check exceptions and record the verified deadline.
- Review operative clauses in the complete document, including definitions, cross-references, schedules and inconsistencies with the instructions.
- Confirm that the wording reflects the client’s instructions and contains no unintended admission, concession or commitment. Check the recipient and tone.
- Obtain and inspect the relevant current official register or search result. Confirm identities, interests and the date and scope of the search.
- Verify the applicable jurisdiction and the version of each relevant law, rule or instrument in force at the material time.
- Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
- Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.
