AI-Use & Expert Authorship Disclaimer
Last updated: July 27, 2026
This page explains, in plain terms, what Disclosed. does and does not do, so there is no ambiguity about who is responsible for an expert report prepared with it.
The tool assists; the expert prepares and signs
Disclosed. organizes and formats findings, data, and opinions the expert supplies. Its drafting prompt restricts the model to supplied material, its citation IDs can resolve only to sources in the report, and export is blocked when a factual sentence lacks a source marker. Those controls reduce risk; they do not prove that a cited source is accurate or semantically supports the sentence, and they do not make AI output error-free.
The expert prepares, reviews, verifies, signs, and is responsible
The expert reviews, verifies, edits, and adopts all content of the report. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(B) requires a covered report to be prepared and signed by the witness. Disclosed. does not make a legal determination about authorship; the witness remains responsible for preparing, adopting, and signing the report, and for the accuracy, completeness, methodology, and opinions it contains.
Admissibility is the court's decision
References on this site to Rule 26, Daubert, or “defensible methodology” describe the structure and the disclosure record the tool helps produce. They are not a promise that any report, or any AI disclosure, will be admitted or accepted in any proceeding. Admissibility and the sufficiency of any disclosure are determined by the court.
About the matters we cite
We reference public developments such as the discovery order in Conservation Law Foundation v. Shell (D. Conn. 2026) and reports of expert testimony excluded over AI-hallucinated citations to explain why documenting AI use matters. These are illustrations of an emerging area of practice, not legal advice about your matter.
Not legal advice
Disclosed. is a software tool, not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. Confirm with supervising counsel that uploading any given material is consistent with your protective orders, privilege obligations, and professional rules.
