## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Provide a private expert engaged for FCFCOA work with PD-AI and ensure the expert certifies that it has been read. Verify summaries against the whole report and distinguish the expert’s opinion from the lawyer’s interpretation. Confirm the applicable expert-evidence rules and any AI disclosure requirements for the actual report and court.

- What the AI does: Draft instructions from the issues list and table the draft report's assumptions, interviews and recommendations with page cites.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- 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 the consequence of an error and the amount of independent review the described output needs.
- Written for: AU

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the expert’s remit, instructions and the material supplied.
2. Provide PD-AI to the private expert and obtain the required certification that it has been read.
3. Check every relied-on summary against the complete report, preserving qualifications, ranges and stated assumptions.
4. Refer inconsistencies or missing information to the expert and confirm the final report’s applicable requirements.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. The cited court, tribunal or scheme requirements apply only within their stated scope.
