FRE 707 (proposed) for clinical AI workflows
FRE 707 (proposed) in clinical AI workflows: what compliance requires, who asks for evidence, and the records to keep.
01 / The rule
What FRE 707 (proposed) requires
Would apply to parties offering AI or machine-generated evidence in federal court without a sponsoring expert witness.
- 01As published: machine-generated evidence offered without an expert must satisfy Rule 702(a)-(d) if it would need Rule 702 when given by a witness.
- 02Revised draft: proponent shows the AI evidence helps the trier of fact, rests on sufficient data, uses reliable methods, reliably applied.
- 03Revised draft: ordinarily provide an expert to explain how the AI system reliably produced the evidence; other proof only in exceptional circumstances.
- 04Revised draft: give all parties reasonable notice of intent to offer AI-produced evidence.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits
Keep a record anyone can check
When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.
A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.
The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.
Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.
A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
