Atlas is providing incorrect or misleading responses. What’s going on?

This is a model limitation

That is a byproduct of current generative models, including the models Atlas uses. Atlas can write things that look correct and still be mistaken — invented citations, confident quotes that are not in the source, or a summary that drops a condition that changes the result.

Do not treat Atlas as a singular source of truth. High-stakes legal work must be checked against primary instruments and your own file.

What to check

Open cited sources. EUR-Lex, national gazettes, and the original judgment or statute may contain context Atlas shortened or missed. A catalogue stamp such as last verified is a corpus check date — not an official “in force” certificate.

A list match or HIT is matching against a control list. It is not a licence, a Bescheid, or permission to ship.

Drafts in the document pane are starting points for counsel. They are not a filing and not legal advice.

Web and extra-corpus material

When Atlas uses the web, review the cited pages. Original sites may include details that did not make it into the synthesis. Quality also depends on those underlying sources.

Material outside the Caelex corpus (web, EUR-Lex HTML, CourtListener, your vault) can still be relevant. Atlas should not delete it; you still have to verify it.

Tell us

If a particular answer was unhelpful or wrong, write to cs@caelex.eu with the chat, the claim, and what you expected. That helps us fix corpus rows, prompts, and labels — it does not replace your review.
