| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the regulator’s letter and the charity’s records, list each question or concern raised, the governance standard or obligation it relates to, the documents that answer it and the gaps, and calculate the response date; then draft the covering response for the lawyer to rework. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides what the charity says and admits, whether to offer remedial steps or an enforceable undertaking, how to protect privileged and beneficiary information, and settles every line of the response with the board before it is sent. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the regulator’s letter and the charity’s records, list each question or concern raised, the governance standard or obligation it relates to, the documents that answer it and the gaps, and calculate the response date; then draft the covering response for the lawyer to rework.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides what the charity says and admits, whether to offer remedial steps or an enforceable undertaking, how to protect privileged and beneficiary information, and settles every line of the response with the board before it is sent.
- 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 response date from the letter and any extension granted in writing.
2. Check every factual statement against the charity’s records.
3. Confirm the board has approved the response and any undertaking before it is sent.

## 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.
