| Practice area | [Technology, Media & Telecommunications / IT Contracts](https://ailawframework.com/practice/technology-media-and-telecommunications-it-contracts.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Compare the agency's issued contract, order form and modules against the current government template, and build a table of every departure, every clause the supplier has been asked to accept that it cannot meet, and the supplier's proposed responses from its own playbook, quoting the clause each time. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide which departures the supplier should raise given the procurement rules and the agency's stated tolerance for change, settle the liability, IP, data and security positions, and approve the response before it is submitted with the tender or offer. |

## 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: Compare the agency's issued contract, order form and modules against the current government template, and build a table of every departure, every clause the supplier has been asked to accept that it cannot meet, and the supplier's proposed responses from its own playbook, quoting the clause each time.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which departures the supplier should raise given the procurement rules and the agency's stated tolerance for change, settle the liability, IP, data and security positions, and approve the response before it is submitted with the tender or offer.
- 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 the template version the agency issued and compare against that version, not a later or earlier one.
3. Check each departure quoted in the table against the issued document.
4. Confirm the schedule matches the format and deadline the tender documents require.
5. 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.
