| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the accounts payable ledger, list each creditor, the invoice dates, the amounts, and any payment the ledger shows, in date order. Do not decide which claims are subject to a bona fide dispute. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides who may join a petition under 11 U.S.C. § 303(b). A claim that is contingent as to liability, or the subject of a bona fide dispute as to liability or amount, is outside the claims that subsection counts. Section 303(h)(1): if the petition is controverted, the court orders relief only if the debtor is generally not paying debts as they become due, unless those debts are the subject of a bona fide dispute as to liability or amount, or if § 303(h)(2)’s custodian test is met. Until an order for relief, § 303(f) allows the debtor to continue to operate and to use, acquire, or dispose of property as if the involuntary case had not been commenced, except to the extent the court orders otherwise. The tool does not file anything. Rule 9011(b) is the lawyer’s certification of a petition. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the accounts payable ledger, list each creditor, the invoice dates, the amounts, and any payment the ledger shows, in date order. Do not decide which claims are subject to a bona fide dispute.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Section 521 lists the list of creditors and the schedules a debtor files. This chronology does not fill them. Rule 1007’s deadlines were not opened.
- The printed $10,000 floor in § 303(b) carries an adjustment footnote. Confirm the amount in force. Do not use a figure from the legislative history.
- A farmer, a family farmer, and a corporation that is not a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation are outside § 303(a). The lawyer decides which the debtor is.
