## 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 head lease, any sublease or occupancy arrangement and the franchisor’s records, assemble the documents the franchisee must receive and list every incentive or financial benefit the franchisor or an associate receives because of the lease, with the document it comes from.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms whether the franchisee will lease, sublease or occupy franchisor-controlled premises, checks the incentive list against the head lease and side letters, decides how incentives are described, and confirms the documents are given when the Code requires.
- 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 whether the 2025 Code applies to this franchise and which provisions are in force on the date of the step, before the template or checklist is used.
2. Check the head lease, variations and side letters for incentives, not only the lease itself.
3. Confirm the associate relationships of every landlord-side entity.
4. Confirm delivery of the pack is recorded.

## 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.
