Check JuristIQ's answer against its sources
Every statement in the answer traced to the passage it rests on before it goes into advice.

JuristIQ has answered your question about the matter. Before any of it goes into a memo, an email to the client or a note to the partner, each statement has to be confirmed against the document it comes from, the way you would check a trainee's research.
Two questions guide the check. Does each statement rest on a passage that says what the answer says? And did JuristIQ search the documents you expected it to?
Trace each statement to its passage
Hover a citation number in the answer. The parts of the answer that rely on that source are highlighted, its entry under Sources is highlighted too, and a tooltip names the document.
Click Sources under the answer to open the list. Each document entry shows the start of the quoted passage. Hover an entry to highlight every part of the answer that relies on it, which shows at a glance how much of the answer stands on one document.
Click a citation number, or a highlighted part of the answer, to open the document at the quoted text. Read the passage in its context: the sentence before it, the defined terms, and any schedule or clause it refers to. Where a part of the answer rests on more than one passage, the list on the left of the viewer takes you from one to the next.
JuristIQ checks every quote against its document once the answer is written, which is why the citation numbers appear a moment after the text. A quote it cannot find in the document gets no number, so a statement with no number after it has no checked passage behind it.
See what JuristIQ searched
Look at the steps above the answer. A search step says what was searched for and where, for example: Searched all documents for "change of control". A step that reads a document names it and says whether it was read from the start or from around a page; the page is an estimate.
Click a search step to open it. A check of which documents mention a term says how many matched, for example Found in 3 of 12 documents searched, and lists each document with its number of mentions. A search for passages lists every passage found, with the matching words in bold. Click any row to open the document there.
Read the notes at the bottom of the step. Not every result is listed here. means the search found more than it shows: ask a narrower question. A note that documents have no readable text and were not searched means scans: make them searchable and ask again.
What you see and what to do
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A number after a statement | The quote was found in the cited document | Open it and read the passage in context |
| A statement with no number | No checked passage stands behind it | Check it by hand, or ask a follow-up naming the clause |
| A source with a website address | A web page, not a document in the matter | Treat it as a research lead, not as the file; it opens in a new tab |
| Fewer documents searched than the matter holds | Some were not in the chat's reach, or had no readable text | Attach the missing documents, or make the scans searchable, and ask again |
Tips from practice
- A negative answer needs the count. "None of the leases has a break clause" is only as good as the number of leases searched. Open the step and compare the number with the documents you know are there.
- Ask for the quote. A follow-up such as "Quote clause 8.2 of the share purchase agreement in full" gives you the wording itself to check, with its citation.
- Check the context, not only the words. A quoted sentence can be qualified by the next one, or by a definition. The viewer opens at the passage so you can read around it.
