## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Index the complaint, the regulator's material and the practitioner's file, emails, bills and trust or client records the lawyer has selected, by date, author, type and page.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the index, decides what is privileged or confidential to third parties, and decides what may be produced.
- 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 dates and authors against the documents.
2. Mark client-privileged material before anything is produced to the regulator.
3. Confirm no third-party confidential material is uploaded to a tool without authority.

## 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.
