   • Billing clients for time the tool saved
   • Giving legal advice to a non-client, missing conflicts and mishandling sensitive information
   • Citing overruled cases in a brief

   • The question is converted into a Boolean query and nothing else
6. Which three checks does the guide recommend for every AI research answer?
