The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
5 points in the letter need a decision; 0 create obligations for the company.
Two obligations need action now whatever the merits: the fourteen-day response window and the request to preserve CCTV, which retail systems commonly overwrite within days [S1]. The preservation request should be acted on today, independently of how the claim is answered.
Two readings are uncertain and are not accepted automatically: the date of the letter, which sets the deadline, and the missing particulars of injury, which affect how the claim can be evaluated [S1][S2]. A lawyer must read both.

Review and approval
The head of litigation decides. Approving fixes the response plan: the obligations register and the items sent to counsel. It does not respond to the letter or admit anything.
Not ready to approve. 5 highlighted clauses are still undecided. Accept, reject or send each to counsel first.
In the product this is a different person with the right permission. Here you play that role to see the rule.
What it produces
Same-day actions
- Issue a hold on CCTV and rosters.
- Confirm the letter's date before calculating the deadline.
Limits of this example
- The reading is an aid; counsel decides how to respond.
- No deadline is calculated for a date the letter does not state clearly.
- This is a scripted demonstration on fictional data. No model was called and no real organisation, person or result is shown.
