Research, measured against Claude Opus
Sixty questions. Gage OS cited the governing section on all sixty.
The same questions, none naming a section, graded by the same rule: did the answer cite the section verified to govern it.
Gage OS
60 of 60
Library retrieval, then an answer confined to it · run 30 September 2026
Cited the governing section on every question.
Claude Opus, alone
54 of 60
A leading frontier model, from memory, no library · run 28 September 2026
Did not cite the governing section on: After a lender sells repossessed collateral, in what order must the cash proceeds be applied, and is the borrower liable for any shortfall?; In a deficiency lawsuit in Michigan, must the lender prove it complied with the sale rules, and what happens if the debtor challenges that?; I wrote to a debt collector telling it to stop contacting me. What may it still send me afterward?; A debt collector threatened to take action against me that it had no legal right to take and never intended to take. Which federal provision does that violate?; A debt collector added a fee that my original credit agreement never authorized. Which federal provision prohibits that?; What damages can an individual recover from a debt collector for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act?.
Claude Opus was run on 28 September 2026, Gage OS on 30 September 2026, on the same frozen questions. Two runs, one per arm.
What this shows
Gage OS cited the governing section on all 60 questions. Claude Opus, answering alone, cited it on 54 and missed six. On no question did Opus cite a governing section that Gage OS did not. On the thirty questions held back from any tuning, Gage OS cited it on 30 and Opus on 27.
What it means
Neither answer set contained an invented citation, so a citation that exists is not the test. The test is whether the answer is built on the law that governs. Gage OS reads that law from its library before it writes.
How this was measured
60 plain-language questions, half on Michigan commercial law (UCC Article 9) and half on the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a frozen set with the governing section read from the statute text for each. The grade is whether the governing section was among the sections the answer cited, matched whole: MCL 700.781 is not MCL 700.7810. Citations were looked up in our statute and opinion index: 284 of Claude Opus’s were found and 3 could not be classified (the index does not hold them); all 266 of Gage OS’s were found; none was shown to be invented. Claude Opus answered from memory with no tools. Gage OS answered through the desk’s own path: retrieval from the law library, the answer confined to the passages retrieved, written by DeepSeek Flash, an open general-purpose model. Half of the questions were used to tune retrieval; the other half were held out and are reported above on their own. Claude Opus’s stored grade of 28 of 60 counted federal citations written “15 USC” as misses against “15 U.S.C.”; the 54 here re-reads its stored citations with the benchmark’s current matching rule.

How a research question is answered
Five steps, the same every time.
Read the record
The matter's own papers, mail and timeline come first, so the answer is about this case.
Search the law
Statutes, court rules and 9,427,210 opinions, with the 77,481,570 citations that connect them.
Read in full
Every authority that may be cited is read in full text, never from a summary or a snippet.
Check
Each citation is confirmed, later treatment by the courts is checked, and adverse authority is brought forward.
Answer with sources
The answer carries its sources, and says plainly where the record is silent.
What is in it
355 capabilities, counted one by one.
Every capability of our own practice is listed in a contract with the member edition, each marked shipped or held back with a reason. A build that leaves one unlisted does not ship.
