## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace every row to the payment document and leave the reduction decision to the lawyer.

- What the AI does: From awards, settlements, insurer letters and scheme decisions the client supplies, list each amount, who paid it, the date, and the document. Use only the reduction headings the lawyer has set for that scheme.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which amounts reduce the victims award, which are ignored, and whether the scheme must be told.
- 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 scheme 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 figure against the award, settlement or insurer letter named in the row.
2. Confirm the headings match the reduction rule on the current scheme page, not a generic list.
3. Confirm the table does not say that a payment does or does not reduce the award.

## 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.
