The 10-point AI readiness checklist
1. Do you know which AI tools your staff use?
Ready: a maintained approved tools list, and a way to spot use outside it.
2. Is client confidential information screened before it reaches an AI tool?
Ready: a habit and a tool that catches identifiers before text is pasted out.
3. Do you keep a record of AI use on matters?
Ready: per matter entries, tool, task, who, when.
4. Is AI assisted research and drafting reviewed by an attorney?
Ready: a sign off step with a name and a timestamp attached.
5. Do reviewers confirm citations independently?
Ready: an explicit attestation, recorded, on research and drafting.
6. Is there a written AI use policy staff have acknowledged?
Ready: an adopted policy with dated acknowledgements, confirmed again on updates.
7. Can you produce documentation on demand?
Ready: an export you could hand a carrier or a court this afternoon.
8. Is your record tamper resistant?
Ready: append only entries that can't be quietly edited after the fact.
9. Is confidential content kept out of places it shouldn't live?
Ready: screening on the way out, and minimal retention by default.
10. Would your answer survive scrutiny six months from now?
Ready: the record was accumulating all along, not reconstructed under pressure.
The checklist is the question. Candor is the answer, on the record.
The tools above are free, and stay free. When you're ready to make the record accumulate on its own (screened, logged, checked, signed off), that's the product.
