Map the treating evidence against the access or support criteria
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the treating and assessment reports the lawyer has selected, extract each statement about impairment, permanence, functional capacity and the support sought into a table set against the access requirements or against each s 34 criterion for the disputed support, citing report and page, and list the criteria with no evidence against them.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer reads each report against the table, decides whether the evidence actually meets each criterion, identifies what further report is needed and from whom, and rejects any entry the tool has paraphrased beyond what the author said.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | From the treating and assessment reports the lawyer has selected, extract each statement about impairment, permanence, functional capacity and the support sought into a table set against the access requirements or against each s 34 criterion for the disputed support, citing report and page, and list the criteria with no evidence against them. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Check each extracted statement against the page cited and remove any that summarise rather than quote the author's finding.
- Confirm the table applies the criteria as they stood when the decision was made, including the s 34 link between supports and impairments in force since 3 October 2024.
- Check whether the participant received a notice of impairment and that the table works from the impairments it lists.
- Confirm the gaps list names a qualified author for each missing piece of evidence and does not suggest what the author should conclude.
