## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Reconcile the surveyed disturbance areas against the previous return and the title conditions, populate the regulator's cost estimate tool and the return, and draft a variance note for each changed line.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the disturbance categories claimed, that every conditioned rehabilitation obligation is captured, and whether the change triggers a variation of the security, contribution or levy before the return is lodged.
- 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 confirms the disturbance categories claimed, that every conditioned rehabilitation obligation is captured, and whether the change triggers a variation of the security, contribution or levy before the return is lodged.
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.
