| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Construction & Infrastructure](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the pleadings and the programme the lawyer supplies, list the questions of fact the expert would need, each tied to a document. Do not draft the expert’s answers or a report. |
| What the lawyer must review | Federal Rule of Evidence 702 admits opinion testimony only if the witness is qualified by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education and the proponent shows it is more likely than not that the specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact. The other conditions of Rule 702 are for the lawyer when the opinion is offered. Rule 1.6: the brief and the underlying records are confidential. Formal Opinion 512: the lawyer settles the questions before they are sent, and the tool does not invent a methodology. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the pleadings and the programme the lawyer supplies, list the questions of fact the expert would need, each tied to a document. Do not draft the expert’s answers or a report.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The list is not the expert’s opinion and it is not a disclosure under the civil rules. Disclosure rules were not opened.
- Sending the list to a testifying expert can affect later discovery. The lawyer decides what is sent.
