## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Index the Military Police, unit and inquiry material the member is entitled to hold, by date, author, type and classification, without summarising content.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the index, confirms the member may hold each item, and decides what may be used in the defence or complaint.
- 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 system used is approved for the classification of the material.
2. Check dates, authors and classification markings against the documents.
3. Remove any item the member is not entitled to hold.

## 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.
