Trust and data handling
Tribuno handles tribunal research as a source-linked professional workflow. The product is designed to show where information came from and what users still need to check.
Tribuno provides Employment Tribunal research assistance and legal information only. It does not provide legal advice, representation, or guaranteed outcome prediction.
Trust controls
The immediate trust goal is practical: users should understand source provenance, AI involvement, limitations, and how live-case data is treated.
Tribuno is organised around source-linked records, citations, and provenance rather than free-form answers.
The product supports professional research workflows and does not provide legal advice or prediction.
Live-case content may be sensitive, so users should enter only what is needed for the research workflow.
AI-assisted features are used after retrieval and remain tied to selected sources and visible caveats.
Traceability example
The product should make it clear whether a point came from a selected tribunal decision, promoted Lens context, or generated memo prose.
Source trail
This illustrative trail shows the trust pattern. Real workspace output should preserve the same separation while linking to actual selected sources and promoted context.
| Ref | Source family | Research role | Trace shown | User check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | Selected ET decision | Memo citation source | Source record, decision title, source document, selected passage and research-file membership. | Open the decision and inspect the cited passage before using the memo wording. |
| L1 | Promoted Lens finding | Context citation | Lens family, source passage, promotion action and label separate from tribunal comparables. | Confirm the passage supports context only and does not replace professional legal research. |
| M1 | Generated memo section | AI-assisted draft | Selected-source labels, caveat, provenance metadata and visible source list. | Treat the draft as research assistance and revise against the cited sources. |
AI use
Tribuno should use AI for extraction, context organisation and memo drafting after retrieval, not as a free-standing employment-law advice tool.
Query-time drafting should use selected decisions, structured case context and source-linked Lens findings rather than rediscovering everything from raw text.
Tribuno keeps enough traceability information to explain how research-support output was produced.
AI-assisted output can be incomplete or wrong. Users should check source decisions and apply professional judgement.
Current access model
Workspace access is account-based and available by request. Account activation, roles and access changes are handled by Tribuno support so research files and data controls stay in the right workspace.
Support is asynchronous and email-based. Tribuno does not promise phone support, live chat, demos, or consultancy-style onboarding for v1.
Start with sample or synthetic matters. If you use real facts, keep them focused on the research question and avoid unnecessary personal detail.
The FAQ explains sources, AI use, data handling, and what Tribuno must not be used for.
