## When to use it

Use when a draft commercial lease or a letter of intent is in the file and the client needs a one-page list of the terms. Do not use it as the lease, and do not use it for a retail-tenancy statute.

## Used for these tasks

## How AI may be used

A tool may quote the clause location and the operative sentence from the draft the lawyer has opened.

**AI may:**

- Put the clause number beside each row that the draft actually contains
- Leave the row blank, and list it at the end, when the draft is silent
- Copy the public-accommodation label from Part C of the letter of intent if the lawyer has already chosen it

**AI must not:**

- Must not supply a market figure for a blank row
- Must not describe a retail-leasing statute
- Must not grade a term as favorable
- Must not send the sheet to the client

**The lawyer checks:**

- Every quoted sentence matches the draft
- Silent rows stay blank
- The access row uses the primer's categories only after the lawyer has classified the premises
- The advice column is the lawyer's, or it is empty
