The Citation Verification Workflow

I have a draft containing citations produced with AI assistance.

[PASTE THE DRAFT]

Produce a verification worksheet:
1. Every citation in the document, extracted into a numbered list
2. For each: the proposition it is cited for, quoted from my draft
3. A verification column with these steps as a checklist:
   [ ] Case/statute located in a primary database
   [ ] Citation format matches the actual reporter/section
   [ ] Case actually says what it is cited for — pinpoint checked
   [ ] Still good law / provision still in force
   [ ] Jurisdiction is correct for this court
   [ ] Quoted language matches the source exactly
4. Every direct quotation, extracted, for character-by-character
   comparison against source
5. Every factual assertion about the record, with its record cite

Do NOT verify any of these yourself and do NOT tell me whether they
are real — you cannot know. Produce the worksheet only. I verify
every line in a primary database before this is filed.
