This error implicates two subsystems simultaneously: the retrieval ranker's weighting of third-party secondary sources over the regulator's primary text for normative queries, and the model's calibration on deontic precision for consultation-class documents. The training corpus does not appear to carry a strong signal distinguishing 'should' in a consultation from 'must' in a final rule — the model resolved the ambiguity by defaulting to the stronger obligation register, which is the systematically wrong direction for consultation documents.
The Pretextual citation to a law-firm summary rather than the BIS primary text indicates the retrieval pipeline did not prioritise the authoritative source, and the model did not correct for the secondary source's editorial register change.
Each finding has a stable Citation ID (RLB-F-… for aggregated case-study findings, RLB-H-… for raw per-model hallucinations) — like a DOI, the ID always resolves to the canonical finding even if URLs change.
