## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Apply the current published fee, accommodation and retention rules to the resident's figures in the firm's worksheet template and produce the priced comparison of lump sum, daily payment and combination, with the refundable balance and the choice deadline.
- What the lawyer does: Check the inputs against the means assessment and the agreed accommodation price, confirm the rates and retention rules current for the entry date, and confirm the worksheet's assumptions about the former home and any tenant in it before the figures are used for advice.
- 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. Check the inputs against the means assessment and the agreed accommodation price, confirm the rates and retention rules current for the entry date, and confirm the worksheet's assumptions about the former home and any tenant in it before the figures are used for advice.
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.
