FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers about Tribuno's product boundaries, source handling, AI use, data handling and research workflow.
Is Tribuno legal advice?
No. Tribuno provides research assistance and legal information only. Users remain responsible for checking sources and applying independent professional judgement.
Read related helpWhere should I start?
Start with Workspace start or the sample matter, then follow the four-step path: Case Profiler, Decision search, Research file and Memo. Keep source review visible before drafting.
Read related helpWhere do decisions come from?
Tribuno ingests public Employment Tribunal decision data and stores source-linked records so search results and memos can point back to source material where possible.
Read related helpHow does Tribuno find comparable decisions?
Tribuno combines indexed decision text, structured metadata and source-linked intelligence signals where available. Comparability is research support, not a legal conclusion.
Read related helpWhat is a research file?
A research file is a curated source set for one research question. It helps users review selected decisions, Lens context, citation readiness and memo handoff before drafting.
Read related helpWhat is Case Profiler?
Case Profiler organises live-case facts into structured research context. It is a workflow aid and does not assess legal merits.
Read related helpCan Tribuno predict whether a claim will win?
No. Tribuno must not be used as an outcome predictor. Tribunal decisions can support research into fact patterns and reasoning, but they do not guarantee a result.
Read related helpHow accurate are Tribuno outputs?
Tribuno is designed to make source checking easier, not to remove review. Search results, Lens passages and AI-assisted memos may be incomplete or wrong, so users should inspect the underlying decisions and source passages before relying on output.
Read related helpDoes Tribuno cover every relevant source?
No. Coverage depends on the ingested corpus, usable source text, available metadata and active Lens source sets. A thin or missing result does not mean there are no relevant decisions or legal issues.
Read related helpHow do source Lens panels work?
Lens panels surface source-linked ACAS, statute, procedure or higher-authority case-law context. They remain separate from Employment Tribunal comparable decisions and should be reviewed before promotion into memo context.
Read related helpCan I rely on a generated memo as final advice?
No. A generated memo is research assistance based on selected source material. It needs citation checking and independent professional judgement before any use outside the workspace.
Read related helpWhat should I do if results look thin?
Broaden the search, try adjacent issue terms, inspect source decisions manually, and treat the gap as a research limitation. Do not convert a thin result set into a merits or outcome conclusion.
Read related helpWhat does Citation Readiness mean?
Citation Readiness describes source-review support. It is not a legal-strength, merits, prospects or outcome score.
Read related helpAre Judge Profiles rankings?
No. Private Judge Profiles organise source-backed attribution and coverage information only. They are not rankings, ratings, tendency labels or outcome-prediction tools.
Read related helpAre Research Alerts comprehensive monitoring?
No. Research Alerts are in-app corpus watch rules. They depend on Tribuno's corpus, ingestion cadence and query wording.
Read related helpIs a Review Pack complete or court-ready?
No. A Review Pack is a source-review bundle from a research file. It still needs professional review and source checking.
Read related helpDoes user data train models?
Public claims about provider data use should be checked against current provider terms before launch. In-product guidance should assume users minimise sensitive data and check the current privacy wording.
Read related helpCan I upload real client facts?
Use only information you are authorised to process and minimise sensitive detail. Case Profiler is a research workflow aid, not a place to store unnecessary personal data.
Read related helpWhat if a citation looks wrong?
Do not rely on it. Open the source, check the relevant passage, and report the issue with the decision or memo title rather than unnecessary personal details.
Read related helpIs there an interactive help assistant?
Yes. Tribuno Help Assistant can answer product and account questions using approved Tribuno help content. It does not provide legal advice or interpret a matter.
