## 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: From the remuneration agreements, commission schedules, bonus and incentive plans and product arrangements, list every benefit paid or offered to advisers or representatives, its trigger and calculation, and the product or advice it relates to, marking benefits that may be volume-based or could reasonably influence advice.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether each benefit is conflicted or otherwise banned remuneration or falls within an exception, advises on restructuring, and checks whether past payments raise a breach-reporting obligation.
- 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 client and complaint records go only into a tool the licensee has approved for customer data, and that outputs disclose no client information beyond what the recipient needs.
2. Check every benefit against the source agreement and the payment records.
3. Confirm which exceptions are relied on and why.
4. Consider breach reporting for past payments before advising.

## 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.
