## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: From the regulator's letters, notices and directions the lawyer uploads, extract each matter, the regulator, the allegation as stated, the stage, and every response deadline, with the source page.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks each entry and deadline against the notice and diarises them.
- 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. Check each deadline against the notice it comes from.
2. Quote each allegation as the regulator states it, not paraphrased.
3. Flag any interim suspension or condition immediately.

## 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.
