What it requires.

The obligation this regime imposes — and the honest ceiling. Evidence / professional-responsibility rule

Signing a court filing certifies its citations under Rule 11 (and Rule 9011 in bankruptcy), and the duty of candor to the tribunal (MR 3.3) is non-delegable to a machine. A 2023–2026 wave of orders has sanctioned, reprimanded, and disqualified counsel for filing AI-hallucinated authority. The flagship exemplar, Johnson v. Dunn (N.D. Ala. 2025), reprimanded and disqualified three attorneys despite a firmwide AI policy — the policy existed but the verification step failed. The duty is to verify every authority before filing and to size the verification burden to the tool's actual instability.

What the evidence record proves.

Drift — measures run-to-run instability, a behaviour upstream of fabricated citations
Coherence — measures internal consistency of the tool's outputs
Produces a reproducible risk-characterization record of the tool, not of any single brief
Lets a firm size its verification burden to the measured risk of the tool it relies on
Sealed and recomputable, so the 'we checked the tool' record is dated and signed

What this does not prove. Planisphere does not check any individual citation, does not replace the lawyer's non-delegable duty to verify every authority, and does not immunize a filing from sanctions. It measures the tool's behaviour; the lawyer verifies the brief. Johnson v. Dunn is cited as a public exemplar, not as legal advice.
