Cite-check

A cite-check is the verification that every citation in a document points at a real source that says what the document claims it says.

Cite-checking used to be a junior's afternoon with the bundle. With language models drafting, it is the step that separates a usable draft from a sanction, because a fluent draft can cite a document that does not exist.

Legalnaut runs a deterministic check on every AI text, with no model involved: the cited document exists and the reader may see it, the cited page exists, a quotation of four words or more appears in a document cited in the same paragraph, and a case number is one the file knows. Anything that fails is reported under the draft or the chat message, never repaired quietly.

Legalnaut builds this out of your own case file. See the plans.
