Checking AI summaries
against the audio.

Pick a Supreme Court argument and click any sentence in the AI summary. It plays the exact seconds of audio that sentence came from, or shows that there are none.

01THE TOOL  ·  EVERY CLAIM TRACED BACK TO AUDIO

Read the report,
then listen to what it is citing.

Click any claim and it shows you the transcript turns it came from. Switch on an injected error and the clean verdict is replaced by what the detector actually said about the corrupted version.

ASSEMBLING TRANSCRIPT AND CLAIMS

Keyboard: space toggles playback, left and right seek five seconds, J and K move between claims. Audio remains at the selected evidence while the text shows the detector’s recorded judgment, not a live re-run.

02PLANTED-ERROR BENCHMARK  ·  KNOWN GROUND TRUTH

Eight different ways to be wrong,
including one you can only hear.

Track A takes claims that are properly grounded and changes exactly one fact in each. I lean on speaker misattribution because the audio tells you who is talking, and a text-only benchmark has no way to check that.

Held-out threshold

The threshold is selected on one half of the cases, then reported without retuning on the other half.

Evidence sensitivity

If the detector is really reading the retrieved evidence, then shuffling those turns should change what it decides. So I shuffled them.

Per-class recall at the held-out operating threshold, with sample size shown for every perturbation.

Severity confusion

Rows are planted severity. Columns are the detector’s assigned severity.

04ROUGE VS FAITHFULNESS  ·  ORGANIC SUMMARIES

Word overlap only tells you a summary
sounds like the transcript.

ROUGE-L VS FAITHFULNESS
EACH POINT = MODEL × CASE
—
CORRELATION

A summary can score well on ROUGE by reusing all the right names and phrases while pinning them on the wrong speaker, dropping a hedge, or flipping a claim around. Overlap only tells you the wording is familiar. What I wanted to know is whether each sentence still holds up against the transcript it supposedly came from.

05METHOD  ·  TWO TRACKS, SEPARATE JUDGE

Start where I already know the answer,
then try the messy version.

TRACK / A

Controlled perturbations

Grounded claims are changed one dimension at a time across eight error classes. A verifier model different from the detector gates the clean controls, so the benchmark does not simply grade its own work.

TRACK / B

Organic summaries

Local models summarize held-out oral arguments without planted errors. Every resulting sentence is aligned to transcript turns and judged for support, contradiction, and speaker identity.

RETRIEVAL

Hybrid evidence search

Int8-quantised embeddings and BM25 each retrieve candidate turns. Reciprocal-rank fusion combines them before entailment and speaker-aware judgment produce the final evidence record.

Limitations

  • A single local 8B detector cannot represent the range of current frontier systems.
  • The corpus covers forty cases, not the full modern Supreme Court archive.
  • Synthetic perturbations isolate errors cleanly but are not a complete model of natural hallucination.
  • Severity labels are model-judged and should be treated as an operational rubric, not human consensus.
