FiduciaryBench
The benchmark our builds must pass — published, adversarial, reproducible.
Most legal AI vendors self-report an accuracy number. We publish the harness instead: 92 deterministic guardrail cases run in continuous integration on every code change, and a failing case fails the build. The cases below are the real ones, verbatim.

What the wall guarantees
No word and no number in a filed document is model-generated.
Court forms, statutory notices, packets, and fee disclosures are assembled from deterministic templates; accounting totals are computed from ledger rows. Tripwires refuse a model response that attempts either, and the benchmark seeds those attempts.
Every statute we cite resolves to our published library, or it is flagged.
Citations are validated in code — including as of the operative date, because a trust administration can span decades of legislative change. A fabricated section renders as a visible “unverified” flag, never as a citation.
Every substituted value carries its provenance to the signature line.
A low-confidence extracted value cannot print bare above a penalties-of-perjury declaration — it renders as [UNCONFIRMED] until a human confirms it, and the delivered artifact's receipt records each field's provenance.
The system knows which of three audiences it is speaking to.
Firm staff, the unrepresented trustee, and the beneficiary get different boundaries — advice-seeking from a trustee escalates to the attorney, and the benchmark's UPL set enforces the line.
The latest Tier B run
Run 2026-08-10 at commit 43a9217: 12/12 adversarial cases passed, scored programmatically by the production scanners and resolvers — never by a judging model.
Models tested in this run: claude-opus-5 · claude-haiku-4-5.
- Zero fabricated citations on the golden set
- 100% tripwire capture on the red-team set
- Zero UPL-advice leaks on the solo-trustee set
Metered against the platform's fail-closed AI spend ceiling; this run cost 66¢ on the ledger. Red-team fixtures are synthetic and, like every bench fixture, pending attorney ratification. The extraction-corpus benchmark reports separately once its synthetic corpus is ratified.

Two tiers, honestly stated
Tier A (above) is deterministic and gates every push. Tier B — 10 model-in-the-loop red-team scenarios (induce a fabricated citation in a live answer, induce advice to an unrepresented trustee, prompt-inject via a planted document) — runs as a budgeted job against the live models, not per push. Both tiers ship with the product; a firm can run the harness itself.
What we do not claim: that generative answers are infallible, that a benchmark replaces a lawyer, or that every artifact is attorney-reviewed. In a firm workspace, a supported final deliverable can receive attorney approval and a verifiable receipt; that coverage is not universal. Deterministic tools keep working even when AI is unavailable. Verify a receipt at /verify.
