## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Check the table against the originals; missing records do not prove that treatment or symptoms were absent.

- What the AI does: Compile a provider-and-date coverage table from permitted records, with links to documents and apparent gaps for follow-up.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- 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 the consequence of an error and the amount of independent review the described output needs.
- Written for: NSW

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm permission to process the records and identify the person, provider, document type and period covered.
2. Verify every relied-on entry against its source, separating consultation date, report date and the date of any event described.
3. Check apparent duplicates for different pages or versions and identify unreadable or missing attachments.
4. Discuss relevant gaps and contradictions with the lawyer and obtain further records where appropriate; do not infer diagnosis or causation.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. The cited court, tribunal or scheme requirements apply only within their stated scope.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Australian personal injury work; NSW PIC restrictions apply if the records are for Commission proceedings

**Deliverable**: A source-linked coverage and missing-record table.

**Inputs**

- Permitted medical records
- Records requested and received list
- Known providers and relevant periods

**Example**: Illustrative example: A specialist letter refers to an earlier scan report that is not in the bundle. The table flags the absent report and retains the specialist’s wording.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Identity, dates or the source of a clinical assertion cannot be confirmed.
- Access restrictions or the tool’s permitted handling of health information are unresolved.
