Citation Gate
Every argued point must cite a real fact or statute id. Uncited claims are rejected on the spot.
Eight specialist agents argue both sides of a subrogation claim in a real Band room. A six-gate harness — in code, not prompt — verifies the math and the evidence. Recovery in three minutes.
Cross-family by design — the Advocate and the Opposing red team are on different model families, and the two Adjudicators each draw their conclusion independently before either sees the other’s answer. Anti-collusion is built into the seating chart, not the prompt.
left uncollected every year, across the U.S. P&C industry.
That clawback is called subrogation. The work is slow, document-heavy, and manual — police reports, repair bills, statutes, fault percentages, demand letters drafted by hand.
So insurers drop about half the recoverable cases they could pursue. The money just sits there.
Every gate is a written check, not a prompt. As you read down, each fires in turn — the harness refuses anything that isn’t cited, anchored, or mathematically consistent.
Every argued point must cite a real fact or statute id. Uncited claims are rejected on the spot.
Every quoted fact must be a contiguous substring of a real source document. Anchors the ledger to real text.
Recomputes the fault percentages from the adjudicator’s own fault table. If the math drifts, the verdict is rejected.
The two adjudicators must agree to within ten points. If they don’t, the case escalates to a human reviewer.
An independent reviewer checks whether each cited fact actually supports the claim — supported, neutral, or overreach.
The drafted demand letter must contain the final fault percentage and dollar amount. The number on the page must match the verdict.
Real Band-room postings from the Rivera case, replayed below. Mono prefix per agent role; family A on warm sand, family B on brass; gate verdicts on the right margin of each line.
Lumen knows when to walk away. The same eight agents and six gates, run twice — one case clears for recovery, the other closes for lack of merit.
Six gates cleared. Adjudicators within four points. Demand letter drafted. Routed to a human because the recovery exceeds the $25k review threshold.
Our insured rear-ended a stopped vehicle. Recovery below pursuit threshold; fault share below 25%. Not worth the cost of chasing.
Everyone else decides whether to pay. Lumen gets the money back.
