## 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 current security plan, the operator’s operations description and any change (new berth, vessel, cargo type, contractor), map each plan section to the matters the regime requires and list sections that no longer match operations.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the client is a participant that must have an approved plan, decides whether the change requires a plan variation or new approval, settles the revised sections with the security officer, and confirms submission to the regulator.
- 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 participant category under the Act.
2. Check each operational change against the plan sections it affects.
3. Keep security-sensitive content within the approved handling arrangements, including any tool use.

## 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.
