Guided workflow

Whistleblowing detriment

Review protected disclosure, causation, detriment, chronology, and employer explanation patterns without predicting outcome.

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.

Best used for

Protected disclosuresDetriment chronologyCausation evidence

Use this workflow when the research question fits these evidence themes and can be checked against selected sources.

Not for

Assuming disclosure statusCausation predictionUnreviewed chronology

These boundaries keep the workflow away from prediction, unsupported conclusions and unreviewed live facts.

Output shape

Chronology-led memo separating disclosure status, alleged detriment, employer explanation and causation caution.

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

Whistleblowing source trail example

The sample source trail shows the kind of source-family separation this workflow should preserve before any memo wording is trusted.

RefSource familyResearch roleTrace shownUser check
S1ET decisionFact-pattern comparableUsed to compare the timing and content of alleged disclosures against later workplace treatment.Check whether the tribunal accepted the disclosure, its recipient, and the protected-disclosure reasoning.
S2ET decisionDistinguishing or adverse comparableUsed to test whether timing alone was treated as enough, or whether the tribunal required stronger causation evidence.Inspect the employer's explanation and any non-disclosure reason for the alleged treatment.
L1Case Law LensAuthority contextUsed to keep principle context visible without using Lens material as a factual comparable.Check whether further authority research is needed for the live professional question.

Workflow path

A practical sequence for controlled early-access use.

01

Separate alleged disclosures from later treatment.

02

Search for comparable chronology and detriment findings.

03

Use source Lens context for statutory and authority framing.

04

Generate a memo that marks source-supported and uncertain points.

Sample prompt

The workflow starts with a narrow research question

Example research question

What source-backed themes arise where alleged detriments follow internal protected disclosures?

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.
