| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |

The tool does not identify or draft the grounds. |
| What the lawyer must review | Identify the grounds yourself from the comparison, confirm the window and the correct forum, and settle whether the point is jurisdictional or an error within jurisdiction. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: Compare the determination paragraph by paragraph against the adjudication application and response, index where each claimed item and each reason for withholding was dealt with, list the items and submissions the determination does not address, and date the review or challenge window. The tool does not identify or draft the grounds.
- What the lawyer does: Identify the grounds yourself from the comparison, confirm the window and the correct forum, and settle whether the point is jurisdictional or an error within jurisdiction.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Identify the grounds yourself from the comparison, confirm the window and the correct forum, and settle whether the point is jurisdictional or an error within jurisdiction.
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.
