## 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: Build the incident chronology and the notification timetable from the site records under the lawyer's direction, and assemble the report against the regulator's form so that every stated fact carries its source.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer settles what happened and how it is characterised, checks the notification category and the deadline against the regulations, and decides what is reported, what is privileged and who signs.
- 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. The lawyer settles what happened and how it is characterised, checks the notification category and the deadline against the regulations, and decides what is reported, what is privileged and who signs.
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.
