| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Compare the names, aliases, dates of birth and relationships given at intake for the client and every other party against the service’s client and other-party records, and list every possible match with the record it matches and why. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether each match is a real conflict, whether the service can act or must refer, and how to refer without disclosing that the other party has also contacted the service; in family violence matters the decision protects both people’s safety. |

## 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: Compare the names, aliases, dates of birth and relationships given at intake for the client and every other party against the service’s client and other-party records, and list every possible match with the record it matches and why.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether each match is a real conflict, whether the service can act or must refer, and how to refer without disclosing that the other party has also contacted the service; in family violence matters the decision protects both people’s safety.
- 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 client’s personal, financial and safety information goes only into a tool the service has approved for client data, and that the output discloses nothing the client has not agreed to share.
2. Search aliases, former names and transliterations, not only the name given.
3. Record the decision and reason for every match, including no conflict.
4. Confirm any referral is made without revealing the other party’s contact with the service.

## 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.
