Deliverable E creates the evidence-bearing path from an engineering prototype to a professionally validated Ontario controlled beta. It does not manufacture provider permission, lawyer review, or privacy/security/accessibility approval. All current records remain explicitly pending and confidential use remains blocked.
The recommended initial scope is Ontario civil litigation/appeals and Ontario Small Claims Court because those areas match the five existing draft workflows. Ontario criminal, family, tribunal, real-estate, and unbenchmarked practice areas remain explicitly unsupported.
- Versioned professional-validation record and fail-closed validator.
- Authorized case-law provider decision record with court coverage and operation constraints; CanLII scraping remains prohibited.
- Ontario lawyer benchmark authoring and independent-adjudication template.
- Evidence-backed review path for all five Ontario workflows.
- Privacy, security, and accessibility review template.
- Controlled transition from workflow draft status to
lawyer-reviewed-approved; current entries remain drafts. - Production release gate integration and automated positive/negative tests.

- Select and obtain authorization for an Ontario case-law provider that covers ONCA, ONSC, and Small Claims decisions for the allowed operations.
- Retain an Ontario lawyer to author/substantively review the benchmark and a second qualified reviewer to adjudicate it.
- Obtain an Ontario lawyer review of each of the five workflow drafts.
- Complete privacy, security, and accessibility reviews before confidential files or expanded access are approved.
After those records are completed, update the versioned JSON and catalogue, regenerate workflows and the release manifest, run the full check, and retain the evidence with the release record.
