The working A prototype: use its controls to test the build question.
Verify existence, proposition, jurisdiction, current status and treatment of a legal citation.
RN conceived the question, structured the evidence boundaries, designed the experience, implemented the prototype and documented its limits.
This independent prototype demonstrates an approach; it is not a deployed client system, professional advice or proof of real-world outcomes.
Work through the controls with a situation of your own rather than the sample values. The tool responds to what you put in, so the useful output comes from real input, and everything is processed in your browser as you go. Any sample content you find already loaded is there to show the shape of a filled-in state, and you can clear it and start again at any point.
The build overview sets out the question, the purpose, the role and the evidence status in one place, and the public record behind it states what changed, what another person can reuse and what supports the system. If you want to judge how far this build should be trusted, the record is the page to read, not this one.
FICTIONAL CITATION GATES
Is this legal citation real, current, and saying what the AI claims?
Move an explicitly fictional citation through separate existence, quote, proposition, jurisdiction, status and treatment gates. No live legal source is searched.
RECORDED GATES PASS
DO NOT RELY; INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY EVERY GATE
PASS
A synthetic existence record is present; no real case was checked.
PASS
The fixture quote matches its fixture locator only.
PASS
The recorded proposition is compared with the fictional quote only.
PASS
The fixture jurisdiction and court fields are compared only.
PASS
The fixture has a dated status assertion, not a live citator result.
PASS
Only synthetic treatment records are inspected.
Boundary: The case, court, citation, quote and records are fictional. A recorded pass is not proof of existence, good law, currentness, authority, precedential value, proposition support, admissibility or permission to rely.
