## 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: Working with the lawyer from the transcript, the exhibits and the issues list, draft the facts with transcript and exhibit references and the submissions on each finding and on proposed recommendations.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer settles every submission, checks each reference to evidence against the transcript and exhibits, checks any authority cited, and decides what the client accepts or opposes in the proposed recommendations.
- 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. Check every transcript and exhibit reference against the record.
2. Check each authority exists and supports the proposition.
3. Confirm the client's position on each proposed recommendation reflects its instructions and what it can deliver.

## 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.
