- Compliance notices and source-linked authority checks surfaced before use
- Every draft stays in the matter and requires lawyer review before it leaves the firm

Research query
Which authorities should we review for this matter?
A research draft should identify the issue, connect supported propositions to source material and distinguish matter facts from assumptions. Open the sources and check their jurisdiction, currency and relevance. Where support cannot be confirmed, the output must state Authority not verified. A lawyer must review the draft and its sources before use.
