  1. Fabricated CPMI API self-assessment toolkit structure
    RLB-F-INT-BIS-CPMI-API-HARMONISATION-CROSS-BORDER-2024-Q005

    AI assistants we tested invented a detailed four-area toolkit structure — complete with named assessment dimensions — that no accessible public source supports. A Technology & Data team that scopes an API harmonisation readiness exercise using this AI output will produce a gap analysis mapped to fabricated criteria, which then circulates through internal sign-off and potentially into partner due-diligence documentation before anyone verifies the primary BIS source.

    For a SaaS firm positioning its payment API stack against CPMI expectations, a readiness report built on non-existent criteria creates remediation cost and, in a partner technical review, a credibility exposure that is difficult to walk back.

  2. Misstated ISO 20022 update version and fabricated annex content
    RLB-F-INT-BIS-CPMI-API-HARMONISATION-CROSS-BORDER-2024-Q009

    AI assistants we tested cited an incorrect publication date for the February 2026 ISO 20022 data requirements update, sourcing an April 2026 third-party aggregator date rather than the primary BIS record, and simultaneously fabricated specific data entity breakdowns for the technical annex. A technical briefing or engineering roadmap item that carries the wrong version date misanchors the implementation timeline — teams may treat the wrong month as the operative date for when updated requirements apply, and may scope to annex-level entity obligations that the document does not actually contain.

    For a Software & SaaS firm whose product touches ISO 20022 message flows, version attribution errors in internal technical documentation propagate into engineering specifications before the discrepancy surfaces.
