## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: From the ingoing and outgoing condition reports, the photographs and the invoices the lawyer supplies, set out room by room each item where the reports differ, the photograph and invoice for it, and the amount claimed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which items are beyond fair wear and tear, which amounts are reasonable, and whether the claim should be made, conceded or disputed.
- 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 difference against both condition reports and the photograph cited.
2. Confirm each invoice relates to the property and the item claimed.
3. Confirm the lawyer, not the tool, has made the fair wear and tear assessment for each item.

## 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.
