Raw context hallucinated
Wrong case. Wrong circuit.The raw arm cited Upjohn as a Second Circuit selective waiver case. Wrong case, wrong circuit, wrong doctrine. 414,000 tokens of source material didn't prevent the hallucination. Score: 12 / 15.

Hard-retrieval benchmark
The raw context hallucinated. The crystal was right.
Three-arm selective waiver test — SEC voluntary cooperation, private class action following, Second Circuit focus. A specific question with a known correct answer. Two arms got it wrong.
Crystal was right without retrieval
Circuit split, correctly mappedWithout any retrieved case law, the crystal correctly identified which circuits accept selective waiver (8th Cir.) and which reject it (2d, 3d, 6th). Conditioned grounding alone. Score: 14 / 15.
Crystal + RAG is the best architecture
Matched the ceilingWith case law retrieved and injected across all three arms, crystal + RAG matched the highest quality score in the test. Crystal for grounding, RAG for authority. Neither bloats the prompt. Score: 12 / 15; all arms improved.
How this was run. Single-question, three arms: no retrieval (raw and crystal) and full retrieval (all arms). 15-point rubric. No-context: 13 / 15. Raw: 12 / 15. Crystal: 14 / 15. With RAG injected across all arms, scores increased; crystal + RAG matched the ceiling.
Multi-turn benchmark
One configuration forgot its instructions. One didn't.
Three arms, same underlying model, same question set — no context, raw-accumulating, hosted crystal. At turn 12 the crystal sent 2,684 tokens; the raw arm sent 59,689 — 22× more, compounding every call.
Prompt size at turn 12
22× smallerCrystal footprint vs raw-accumulating at the final turn. Crystal: 2,684 tokens. Raw accumulating: 59,689 tokens — 22× larger and growing every call.
Instruction retention
No-context forgotA formatting rule planted at turn 1 was checked deterministically every subsequent turn. No-context broke it 2 times (8 / 10 held). Crystal: 9 / 9 checkable turns held.
Answer quality — 12 turns
No degradation detectedAll three arms produced substantive answers through turn 12 with no meaningful quality decline. The separating factors are prompt size and instruction retention, not raw answer quality.
How this was run. 12 turns, Law Firms vertical, The same model held constant across all three arms. Raw-accumulating arm: source corpus injected at turn 1, then full conversation history re-sent on every subsequent turn — the window grows every call.

FAQ
Common questions.
Read the published evaluation or the guide to source-grounded answers.
What is a Context Crystal for law firms?
A prepared, shared legal reference layer that sits in front of your team's chat. It covers recurring work areas such as authority orientation, regulatory guidance and practice drafting, so answers start from stable legal context before private matter facts are added.
Does it replace case-law retrieval?
No. It supplies grounding context and is meant to be used alongside retrieval of authority: the crystal grounds the answer, retrieval supplies the authority. See the published evaluation for how that combination performed.
Does it give legal advice?
No. It provides reference context for your team's own work. Professional judgment about any matter stays with your attorneys.
What does the Law Firms plan include?
A monthly workspace subscription at $6,000 per month with 8,000,000 credits per month and protected access to the prepared Law Firms library. A 7-day trial is available.
