Commercial Multi-Jurisdiction Legal AI, Independent Analysis · UK / France / EU2026
Agentic Tool-Loop Thrashing in Multi-Jurisdiction Legal RAG
- Measured
- 3-pass statutory audit on a commercial multi-jurisdiction system, 7 August 2026. Identical query, same endpoint. Pass 1: £68,400 (61.3s, correct). Pass 2: £72,300 (27.7s, wrong). Pass 3: £72,300 (21.1s, wrong). Establishes drift across passes, not a population rate.
- By design
- A deterministic AST pre-router resolves formal statutory citations to structured metadata in <2ms with 0 LLM tool calls. Combined with bitemporal SQL parameter binding, the query returns bit-identical results across all passes.

Generation-Tier Integrity in Legal RAG via In-Flight Verification
- By design
- 0% downstream state contamination and per-query audit trail via selective KV-cache truncation. Verified by construction across generation states.

Retrieval Integrity Under Statute Collision in Legal RAG
- Measured
- 3 of 3 article-collision probes returned the wrong statute — a commercial-code query answered with tax law, a fabricated sub-clause, and a repealed statute cited as current. Black-box probes against the live public interface, Spanish statutory law, Código de Comercio Art. 42 as ground truth, April 2026. Three probes establish reproducibility, not a population rate.
- By design
- Deterministic statute pre-filtering isolates target codes prior to vector embedding, eliminating cross-statute collision by construction. A boolean index predicate cannot return a chunk from an unbound statute.
