How It Works — The Turing Tribunal
PROCEDURE

Both sides heard. No side taken.

Every case follows the same procedure, under the same Rules, on the same calendar. Here is the whole of it — from filing to a signed, reasoned award.

ART. 02 — THE FOUR STEPS

From demand to award

01

File.

Submit your demand and documents through the portal. The respondent answers within 14 days. There are no hearings to calendar, no arbitrator-selection negotiations, no scheduling conferences. The case begins the day you file it.

02

Be understood.

Before deliberation, the Tribunal shows each side a neutral summary of its own claims, defenses, and evidence — and you correct anything it misread. You confirm it understood you before it decides. No traditional forum offers this: the certainty, before judgment, that the judge heard you.

03

Deliberation.

Three independent AI arbitrators — each a different frontier model — review the record separately, then decide by majority. Every finding must trace to a specific document in the record, and every citation is verified before release.

04

The award.

A licensed human Confirming Arbitrator reviews the draft, revises it if needed, and signs the reasoned award — within 14 days of the record closing. The award states its findings, its reasoning, and the relief granted, with every finding cited to the record.

ART. 03 — THE PANEL

The architecture of the tribunal

A single model can be wrong in a single way. A panel cannot. The tribunal is built the way appellate courts are — several independent minds, one majority.

Three distinct models

Three frontier models from different providers, so no single vendor’s judgment — or failure mode — controls the outcome.

Independent drafts

Each arbitrator reviews the record and drafts its findings separately, without seeing the others’ work.

Majority rule

The panel decides by majority. Disagreements are reconciled finding by finding, on the record.

Citation verification

No authority is cited unless it exists and says what the award says it says. Every citation is checked before release.

Record-bound findings

Every finding must trace to a specific document in the record. Nothing is decided on material the parties did not submit.

Immutable audit trail

Deliberations are logged and preserved. The full trail is available to the Confirming Arbitrator and on appeal.

ART. 04 — OVERSIGHT TIERS

The three tiers, in depth

TIER 1

AI Tribunal

The panel decides; binding by contract. For business-to-business disputes up to $250,000 where both parties elect it. The fastest, leanest track — the award issues directly from the tribunal, with no confirming review. Available only where the clause expressly selects it.

TIER 2
DEFAULT

Confirmed Award

The AI tribunal deliberates and drafts; a licensed human arbitrator of record independently reviews the draft against the record and the audit trail, may modify it, and signs the award as their own. Machine speed, human authority. This is the default for every case unless the parties elect otherwise.

TIER 3

Human Appeal

Either party may elect an appeal, decided fresh — de novo — by human arbitrators from our roster, on the same record. The appeal is a complete exit from machine adjudication. Nobody can say there’s no exit.
