| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer checks each row against the paper before the index is used. The index copies the document and adds no narrative. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Check every instance**

The lawyer and the tool work together. The lawyer checks this output before it is used.

- What the AI does: The tool makes a table with one row per document the client brought in: date, author, a short description taken from the document, and page count. It adds no narrative and it does not say what the document proves.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks each row against the paper before the index is used. The index copies the document and adds no narrative. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- 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 each row has a date, an author, a description taken from the document, and a page count.
2. Confirm the table contains no conclusion about liability, scheme or quantum.
3. The lawyer compares any row that will be used against the paper itself.
4. Confirm the papers were indexed in a firm-controlled tool.

## 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.
- Health and client information stays in a firm-controlled tool. A public tool is not used.
