Defensibleby design

Every citation review produces a sealed evidence record — authority checks, findings, policy version, and three hashes a verifier can replay independently.

Minimal interior architecture and natural light

Benchmark engine and full evaluation run on GitHub; seed corpus and verification taxonomy on Hugging Face (YenkLabs research org); hosted review at dali.gammalex.com (GammaLex).

The Citation Is Not the Record

A citation tells you what was referenced. It does not tell you what was reviewed, what authority supported the conclusion, what findings were generated, or how the review was performed. Dali preserves the entire review process, not just the final citation.

Evidence Across Citation Workflows

Every citation follows the same review process, regardless of whether it originates from chat, MCP, documents, or APIs.

  • Jurisdiction mismatch

    Cited authority applies to a different jurisdiction than the reviewed proposition.

    Review evidence →

  • Citation does not support proposition

    The cited authority does not substantiate the legal claim being made.

Evidence Identity

Every citation review preserves findings, review history, and the steps used to reach a conclusion.

MCP Integration

Dali integrates directly into MCP-enabled agent workflows to evaluate legal citations and return reproducible evidence records.

Generated Evidence

Every citation review produces evidence you can export, verify, and reproduce — sealed with three hashes that answer three different verifier questions.

Preservation status

Three hashes, three verifier questions — input integrity, reproducibility, and run seal.

Dali · Review complete

    Legal citations should survive the AI session.

    When a citation is challenged, the answer alone is rarely enough. Dali preserves the evidence needed to reconstruct what happened later.
