Use this workflow when the research question fits these evidence themes and can be checked against selected sources.
Guided workflow
ACAS disciplinary or grievance Lens
Inspect ACAS Code and guidance passages beside selected ET decisions while keeping guidance separate from tribunal comparables.
Tribuno provides Employment Tribunal research assistance and legal information only. It does not provide legal advice, representation, or guaranteed outcome prediction.
Workflow contract
When to use this workflow
Each public workflow has a defined research role, explicit boundaries and an expected output shape. It is a starting point for source-cited research, not a route to a legal conclusion.
Not for
Treating guidance as a tribunal findingReplacing current source checksOutcome prediction
These boundaries keep the workflow away from prediction, unsupported conclusions and unreviewed live facts.
Output shape
Lens brief showing promoted guidance passages beside selected tribunal reasoning with source-family labels preserved.
Source inputs
What the workflow needs before drafting
A useful workflow starts with focused facts and selected sources. Public examples remain illustrative; real workspace output should use selected decisions and promoted Lens passages.

Source trail
ACAS process source trail example
The sample source trail shows the kind of source-family separation this workflow should preserve before any memo wording is trusted.
| Ref | Source family | Research role | Trace shown | User check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | ACAS Lens | Process guidance context | Used to anchor the process question before comparing tribunal decisions. | Check the current ACAS source and keep the passage separate from ET comparables. |
| L2 | ACAS Lens | Implementation context | Used to support a practical checklist for investigation, hearing, and appeal sequence. | Confirm whether the guidance passage applies to the process being reviewed. |
| S1 | ET decision | Fact-pattern comparable | Used to compare how a tribunal reasoned about a similar workplace process. | Read the tribunal reasoning before mapping the guidance point to the factual comparison. |
Workflow path
A practical sequence for controlled early-access use.
01
Choose the disciplinary or grievance context.
02
Open ACAS Code and guidance Lens passages.
03
Compare source guidance with selected tribunal reasoning.
04
Promote only selected Lens passages into memo context.
Sample prompt
The workflow starts with a narrow research question
Example research question
Which ACAS process passages are relevant to a grievance investigation and appeal chronology?
Expected output
What Tribuno should produce
The useful output is a source-cited research view, not a definitive answer to the user's legal position.
Comparable decisions
Selected ET decisions should be compared by facts, process, evidence and reasoning, with source links visible.
Lens context
Source Lens findings should be shown separately and promoted only when useful for the memo context.
Research memo
The memo should include a caveat, source labels, limitations and a compact traceability section.
