## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the table against the invoices and the intended use.

- What the AI does: From the ledger and invoices the lawyer supplies, build a table of date, payee, amount, description and the document reference for each expense the trustee proposes to retain. Do not decide whether the expense is properly incurred.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks each row against the invoice and decides which amounts the trustee may reimburse from the trust property before a distribution.
- 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 amount and date against the invoice, not against the ledger total.
2. Leave out any row that has no document.
3. Do not describe an expense as properly incurred. That is the lawyer's decision.
4. Confirm the table is not attached to a resolution until the lawyer has marked the rows that may be retained.

## 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.
