## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Work with the lawyer to complete the pre-filing form for the applicable body and assemble the dated record of the internal grievance, breach notice or correspondence the lawyer has selected as showing the step was taken.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm which body and which precondition applies to this dispute, check the description of the dispute against the orders that will later be sought, and check that the record actually establishes the step.
- 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 the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm which body and which precondition applies to this dispute, check the description of the dispute against the orders that will later be sought, and check that the record actually establishes the step.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
