Evidence / professional-responsibility rule · FRE 707 (proposed).

Proposed FRE 707 would apply FRE 702(b)-(d)'s reliability requirements to machine-generated evidence introduced without a human expert sponsor — closing a gap where algorithmic output might otherwise escape the scrutiny applied to expert testimony. It is a proposed rule under the rulemaking process, not yet in effect, so treat it as forward-looking. Planisphere's reproducible measurement supports the kind of reliability showing FRE 707 would demand; it does not opine on whether a court will admit a given output.
