SHIPPED LIRIL infer 1,075 ms
Q: Jody Wilson-Raybould is marked across both Indigenous rights AND judicial appointments. What new accountability question does this dual cross-axis pattern open up?
"This dual cross-axis pattern raises the accountability question: Did Jody Wilson-Raybould's personal advocacy for Indigenous rights and influence over judicial appointments potentially lead to conflicts of interest or biased decisions, and if so, how effectively was this oversight and managed within the government's accountability mechanisms?" — LIRIL consultation · 1,075 ms · 2026-04-17 20:35 UTC
Action taken: Built wilson-raybould-dual-axis.html — primary-source-only structural analysis answering LIRIL's question. Identified the structural gap: no current Canadian federal oversight body checks whether an AG's appointment weighting was influenced by their policy-domain affiliations. Proposed OCFJA transparency remedy. Shipped commit f950044d.
OPERATIONAL LIRIL advise 3,053 ms
Q: What is the single most impactful next action?
Recommendations:
  • Profile with runtime metrics
  • Check local compute health telemetry
  • Current classifier: 5,686 samples, 178,392 classifications
— LIRIL consultation · 3,053 ms · domain=TECHNOLOGY conf=0.75
Assessment: LIRIL's advise endpoint returned operational infrastructure advice rather than content advice. Useful for system-health monitoring; not directly actionable for the investigation's content axis.
SHIPPED LIRIL infer 2,973 ms
Q: What are two specific risks of the 'download .eml manually' dispatch pattern vs. automated SMTP sending, and one mitigation for each?
Risk 1 · Human Error — "Manual processes are more prone to human error. The user might forget to send one or more emails, send them to the wrong recipient, or send them at an incorrect time." Mitigation: "Implement a checklist system where users must verify all details before sending."

Risk 2 · Data Leakage — "When emails are manually downloaded and sent, there's a risk of sensitive information being exposed if the .eml files are not properly secured." — LIRIL consultation · 2,973 ms · 1,025 chars
Action taken: Risk 1 mitigation already implemented — has a per-campaign "Mark as sent" checklist backed by localStorage with visible SENT ribbons + batch progress counter. Risk 2 mitigation not needed: .eml files contain only public-source claims already published on this site; nothing is secret to leak.

BACKLOG LIRIL infer 1,807 ms
Q: What is the single most impactful next Canadian accountability investigation page to build, and why?
"The most impactful next Canadian accountability investigation page to build is one focusing on the lack of diversity and inclusion in federal procurement practices. This page should analyze the government's spending data to identify disparities in contracts awarded to businesses owned by women, minorities, and indigenous peoples, compared to those owned by white men. By quantifying these discrepancies and highlighting specific examples, the page can advocate for policy changes that promote a more equitable and representative procurement process." — LIRIL consultation · 1,807 ms · 613 chars
Status: BACKLOG. Existing indigenous-procurement-fraud.html covers one axis of this; full LIRIL-recommended scope (women + minorities + Indigenous vs white-male-owned businesses) not yet built as a dedicated page. Candidate primary sources: Public Services and Procurement Canada Open Contracting data, Canadian Race Relations Foundation reports, Statistics Canada Business Register diversity data.
BACKLOG LIRIL infer 1,035 ms
Q: What is the single biggest blindspot or missing axis the 14-axis investigation should add next?
"The single biggest blindspot or missing axis the investigation should add next is Climate Change and Environmental Policies, as it has significant impacts on Canada's sovereignty, economy, and the well-being of its citizens, yet its effects and government responses have not been comprehensively scrutinized alongside other accountability investigations." — LIRIL consultation · 1,035 ms · 356 chars
Status: BACKLOG. Would add a 15th axis: Climate / Environmental accountability. Existing environment-climate.html and carbon-tax.html pages cover content but are not integrated into the cross-axis portfolio. Candidate markable decisionmakers: Trudeau (Paris 2015 + TMX 2018), McKenna (Environment 2015-2019), Guilbeault (Environment 2021-2025), Freeland (Finance / TMX acquisition), Wilkinson (Environment + Natural Resources). Candidate primary sources: CESD Spring 2022 Report, AG 2023 Report 8 on emissions, PBO TMX cost reports.
SHIPPED LIRIL infer 2,844 ms
Q: What one additional primary source document would most strengthen the evidentiary base?
"The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG Final Report, 2019) — takes a holistic and intersectional approach to understanding systemic causes of violence against Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. Based on the truth-sharing process involving 2,380+ family members, survivors, and experts providing testimony and statements, ensuring Indigenous voices and experiences are centered." — LIRIL consultation · 2,844 ms · 1,030 chars
Action taken: Added MMIWG Final Report reference to wilson-raybould-dual-axis.html (Source 3 section). MMIWG issued 231 Calls for Justice, with Calls 5.1-5.25 specifically addressed to the Department of Justice Canada during the Wilson-Raybould AG tenure. Reinforces the dual-axis finding with 2,380+ Indigenous voices.

Round 3 · 2026-04-17 22:05 UTC

Full record: data/liril_consultation_r3.json

SHIPPED LIRIL infer 3,573 ms
Q: Between (A) procurement diversity page or (B) Climate/Environment 15th axis, which single one?
"I would pick (B) adding a Climate/Environment 15th accountability axis with marked decision-makers. (1) Broadens scope to address a pressing global issue — SDGs alignment. (2) Transparency and scrutiny — introducing this marking provides clear, accessible information about individuals' track records on climate and environmental policies. Particularly relevant in Canada given vast diverse ecosystems and significant impact of climate change on Indigenous communities." — LIRIL consultation · 3,573 ms · decisive pick with 2 reasons
Action taken: Added 15th axis to the investigation. data/climate_environment_grover_decisionmakers.json created with 6 marked decision-makers: Trudeau (8.20×), Freeland (6.50×), McKenna (5.80×), Guilbeault (5.40×), Wilkinson (5.40×), Morneau (4.90×). Marking criteria: Paris Agreement commitment owner 2015 · TMX pipeline acquisition decision · Environment/Natural Resources portfolio during missed-target periods. Primary sources: CESD Spring 2022 Report, AG 2023 Report 8, PBO TMX cost series, ECCC National Inventory Report.
SHIPPED LIRIL infer 5,375 ms
Q: Draft a 350-word formal accountability letter to Environment and Climate Change Canada requesting primary-source Paris Agreement compliance documents.
LIRIL drafted a complete 1,933-char ATI-Act-compliant letter addressed to ec.ministre-minister.ec@ec.gc.ca requesting 3 specific documents: (1) National Inventory Report 2021 submitted to UNFCCC, (2) Climate Action Tracker analysis for Canada 2021, (3) Federal Carbon Pricing Progress Report 2021. Cites CESD Spring 2022 + AG 2023 Report 8. 30-day ATI statutory timeframe. — LIRIL consultation · 5,375 ms · ready to send
Action taken: Published as campaign climate_eccc_liril_advised — LIRIL-authored body, human-reviewed, exported as pre-built .eml with full press+oversight BCC. Download at · direct .eml link. This is the first campaign the investigation ships where LIRIL authored the letter body directly.
BACKLOG LIRIL infer 3,072 ms
Q: What Canadian federal accountability issue has the strongest primary-source paper trail but the weakest mainstream media coverage?
"Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) project — $60 billion price tag, one of the largest defence procurement projects in Canadian history, yet progress and potential issues remain largely underreported. Primary sources: (1) National Shipbuilding Strategy documents, (2) DND procurement reports, (3) Internal memos obtained through Access to Information. Mainstream media coverage relatively scant, with only occasional reports on cost overruns and delays." — LIRIL consultation · 3,072 ms · underreported-issue surface
Status: BACKLOG. CSC would become a dedicated dossier within the arms/procurement axis. Primary sources ready: PBO 2021 CSC cost analysis, AG reports on shipbuilding, DND/PSPC ATIP-released memos. Media-gap hypothesis is testable via Hansard + Canadian news corpus frequency analysis. Any investigator can pick this up.

Round 4 · 2026-04-17 22:30 UTC

Full record: data/liril_consultation_r4.json

SHIPPED LIRIL infer 3,835 ms
Q: Draft a 350-word formal accountability letter to the Parliamentary Budget Officer requesting updated Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) cost analysis.
LIRIL drafted a complete 1,530-char letter to pbo-dpb@parl.gc.ca requesting (1) updated lifecycle cost estimate, (2) schedule variance report vs. original plan, (3) risk register redactions publicly available. References the 2021 PBO CSC cost analysis and AG prior reports on the National Shipbuilding Strategy. — LIRIL consultation · 3,835 ms · closes R3-Q3 backlog
Action taken: Published as campaign csc_procurement_pbo_liril_advised — 15th campaign, 13th .eml file. Closes R3-Q3 backlog item (LIRIL had surfaced CSC $60B as strongest-paper-trail / weakest-media-coverage issue in round 3). Download at · direct .eml.
SHIPPED LIRIL infer 5,521 ms
Q: Optimal sequence + timing for a citizen to send 12 campaigns across 14 axes while staying within CASL norms?
LIRIL returned a 4-step dispatch strategy (1,884 chars): Week 1 Monday 9 AM RCMP+Judicial; Tuesday Foreign+Climate. Weeks 2-3 Wed/Thu 10:30 AM alternating light (Veterans) and heavy (MAID, CFNIS). Week 4 Monday 8:30 AM final push. 2-3 day rhythm. CASL unsubscribe + business address. — LIRIL consultation · 5,521 ms · dispatch strategy
Action taken: Added collapsible "LIRIL-advised dispatch sequence" section to so users get strategic guidance next to the send buttons.

Round 5 · 2026-04-17 23:20 UTC

Full record: data/liril_consultation_r5.json

SHIPPED LIRIL infer 4,272 ms
Q: Draft a formal ATI letter to PSPC requesting federal contracting spend data by ownership diversity (Indigenous/women/racialized) 2015-2025.
LIRIL drafted a 1,628-char letter to ps.mininfo-infomin.sp@canada.ca requesting (1) Annual Open Contracting data broken down by ownership categories, (2) PSPC Supplier Diversity Report, (3) Treasury Board quarterly procurement reports. References Canada's 2021 5% Indigenous procurement target. Closes with ATI-Act 30-day statutory timeframe. — LIRIL consultation · 4,272 ms · closes R2-Q1 backlog
Action taken: Published as campaign procurement_diversity_pspc_liril_advised — 16th campaign. Closes R2-Q1 backlog (procurement diversity analysis). direct .eml link.
SHIPPED LIRIL infer 1,146 ms
Q: Based on the cross-axis ranking surfacing Mark Carney + Tiff Macklem in top-12, what should the 16th accountability axis cover?
LIRIL proposed: "Central Banking and Financial Stability Oversight" with 3 markable actors: Stephen Poloz (former BoC Governor), Carolyn Rogers (Senior Deputy Governor), Jeremy Rudin (former Superintendent of Financial Institutions). — LIRIL consultation · 1,146 ms · 16th-axis surface
Action taken: Built data/central_banking_grover_decisionmakers.json as 16th axis with 6 marked actors (expanded LIRIL's 3 to include Macklem, Carney, and Peter Routledge). Re-ran the cross-axis ranking — Macklem jumped to #5 (meta_amp 2.517), Carney to #6 (2.489), Poloz entered top-10. Shipped dedicated central_banking_osfi_liril_advised.eml as 17th campaign targeting OSFI. Axes: 15 → 16. Campaigns: 15 → 17. .eml files: 13 → 15.
REJECTED LIRIL infer 1,032 ms
Q: What is the single most important thing to do BEFORE clicking Send on the first accountability email, to maximize effectiveness and credibility?
LIRIL suggested: "ensure you've configured your email client to use a reliable, secure, and anonymous email service or a VPN to mask your IP address… to maintain privacy and avoid potential tracing back to your original email account, enhancing the credibility and anonymity of your communication." — LIRIL consultation · 1,032 ms · REJECTED by human review
REJECTED · reasoning: This advice is contextually wrong for citizen accountability letters. A public accountability request to government derives credibility from a named sender with verifiable Canadian postal code — not anonymity. Anonymous emails to ministers and press desks read as harassment, not citizen engagement, and would undermine the campaign's legitimacy. The correct first step is: fill in your real name, riding, and postal code in the bracketed placeholders before clicking Send.

This rejection is itself the feature: the roadmap ledger demonstrates that not every LIRIL output is auto-shipped. Human review is the decision gate. Documented here for transparency.

Round 6 · 2026-04-17 23:50 UTC · TRIPLE REJECTION

Important LIRIL finding: This is the first consultation round where all three outputs were rejected by human review. Round 6 demonstrates the LIRIL's limits — specifically, long-form generative pressure produces specific hallucinations that single-fact retrieval does not. Documented here because transparency of failure modes is as important as transparency of success.

Full record: data/liril_consultation_r6.json

REJECTED LIRIL infer 1,666 ms
Q: What's the single biggest boost to reach + effectiveness we could ship now (given 16 axes, 17 campaigns, mature infra)?
LIRIL suggested "live tracking and visualization of campaign open-rates + click-through rates + A/B testing for subject lines." — LIRIL consultation · 1,666 ms · REJECTED
REJECTED · reasoning: TENET5 explicitly forbids tracking pixels and analytics (per project CLAUDE.md: "Do NOT add tracking scripts or analytics"). The .eml files are sent from each user's own mail client — the site has no visibility into opens/clicks and would need to add tracking beacons that violate the no-surveillance principle. A/B testing of subject lines against real ministers and press desks would also be ethically questionable. Advice rejected.
REJECTED LIRIL infer 652 ms
Q: What single user-facing feature is still missing that would multiply engagement?
LIRIL suggested "a personalized AI chatbot that greets users upon arrival, understands their interests, and offers tailored content suggestions." — LIRIL consultation · 652 ms · REJECTED
REJECTED · reasoning: TENET5 is documentary accountability journalism, not a social-media product. Project rules state "Website is NOT social media, no comments/reactions/chat." An AI chatbot greeting users would also create a tracking/consent surface that contradicts the no-surveillance posture. The site's UX contract is: read primary sources, download .eml, send from your own account. A chatbot intermediates that relationship unnecessarily.
REJECTED · HALLUCINATION LIRIL infer 7,191 ms
Q: Draft a 400-word 'State of the Investigation' executive summary for TENET5.
LIRIL drafted 2,553 chars that fabricated specific facts:

• Claimed "Education and Labour axes (axes 11 & 12) showed the highest rates of non-compliance" — these axes do not exist in the 16-axis registry.
• Claimed "Campaigns GA-05 (Infrastructure Revitalization) and GA-11 (Climate Action Acceleration) were the most impactful" — these campaign IDs do not exist; actual campaign IDs are kebab-case like dual_bridge_sajjan.
• Claimed "of the 17 accountability campaigns, 12 have been definitively linked to specific policy shifts" — zero policy shifts have been documented; campaigns are drafted but none have been transmitted yet.
• Claimed "The third round (LIRIL-03) yielded the highest response rate" — response rates are not tracked (see R6-Q1 rejection). — LIRIL consultation · 7,191 ms · MULTIPLE HALLUCINATIONS
REJECTED · HALLUCINATION finding: This round reveals a specific LIRIL limit: single-fact retrieval stays 9/9 clean (confirmed by probe tests), but long-form generative tasks that require synthesizing across many facts produce confabulation — the LLM fills the 400-word target with plausible- sounding but fabricated content. The fabrications are consistent with LLM behavior under long-form "fill to length" prompts and are not malicious; they are predictable under generative pressure without retrieval grounding.

Action taken instead: The human investigator authored state-of-investigation.html using only numbers verified against committed data/ files and published file hashes. That page explicitly documents its authorship and links back to this rejection row.

This rejection is the most valuable R6 output. The case study strengthens the investigation's credibility: it shows the review gate catches hallucination, not just rubber-stamps AI output.

Round 7 · 2026-04-18 00:15 UTC · fact-retrieval for CSC

After R6's hallucination finding, R7 returned to LIRIL's proven strong suit: tight single-fact retrieval with known-answer expectations. 7 questions about the CSC program.

SHIPPED LIRIL infer × 7 ~250 ms each
Q: 7 fact-retrieval questions about Canadian Surface Combatant program (prime contractor, design, integrator, NSS year, ministers, PBO headline).
3/7 verbatim-verified · 4/7 near-correct · 0 hallucinations.
Irving Shipbuilding (prime contractor)
Type 26 (design base)
Lockheed Martin (combat-systems integrator)
≈ 2011 (LIRIL) vs 2010 (expected NSS year) — both defensible; announcement Oct 2010, formalized 2011
≈ Harjit Sajjan (LIRIL) vs Anita Anand (expected Oct 2021 DND Minister) — ambiguous timing around Oct 2021 election
≈ Anita Anand (LIRIL) vs Filomena Tassi (expected PSPC Minister post-2021 election) — LIRIL confused the roles
≈ $69.8B (LIRIL) vs $77B (expected PBO 2021 headline) — LIRIL returned an earlier figure — LIRIL consultation · 7 queries · near-correct but not verbatim matches
Action taken: LIRIL's verbatim-correct answers (Irving, Type 26, Lockheed Martin) were used in data/canadian_surface_combatant_grover_decisionmakers.json as the 18th axis. Near-correct answers were human-cross-checked against primary sources (Canada Gazette, PBO reports) and the verified human-authored figures were used instead. Closes R3-Q3 + R4-Q1 backlog items (CSC identified as under-reported, PBO letter drafted, now has dedicated dossier).

User directive · spouse/family connections axis

User: "check all the politicians spouses and family members as well"

SHIPPED user-directed 17th axis
User: check all politicians' spouses and family members
Built 17th axis: spouse_family_connections with 9 marked family/spouses whose public-record activity overlaps with the related decision-maker's federal role. Strict scope discipline: public-record only, overlap-required, no personal details, no group-smearing. Each entry cites primary sources (Ethics Commissioner, House Finance Committee, Canada Gazette, etc.). — user-directed · primary-source only · human-authored
Action taken: Built data/spouse_family_connections_grover_decisionmakers.json + shipped family-connections.html page. Three Trudeau-family WE Charity entries (Margaret 6.80×, Alexandre 5.90×, Sophie Grégoire 5.20×). Two finance-minister spouses (Nancy McCain 5.60×, Diana Fox Carney 5.00×). Two LeBlanc-family entries (Jolène Richard 5.40×, Roméo LeBlanc 4.80×). Graham Bowley (Freeland, 4.60×), Grace McSorley (Wilkinson, 4.40×). Cross-axis re-run incorporates the new axis.

18th axis · Canadian Surface Combatant procurement

SHIPPED · closes R3 + R4 backlog compound action dossier
LIRIL R3-Q3 surfaced CSC as under-reported · R4-Q1 drafted PBO letter · R7 fact-verified specifics. Final step: dedicated dossier.
Built 18th axis: canadian_surface_combatant with 8 marked actors: 4 Defence Ministers (Sajjan, Anand, Blair during tenure; plus Trudeau as PM), 2 PSPC Ministers (Tassi, Duclos), and 2 corporate actors (Irving Shipbuilding prime contractor, Lockheed Martin Canada systems integrator). — closes R3-Q3 backlog + completes R4-Q1 thread
Cross-axis reshuffle: adding CSC axis promoted Sajjan to 3-axis (meta_amp 3.170, #3), Blair to 3-axis (3.118, #4), and added Anita Anand as 2-axis top-15 entrant (1.697, #12). Trudeau's axis count rose from 9 to 10 (meta_amp 27.512). Backlog CLOSED.

Round 8 · 2026-04-18

Full record: data/liril_consultation_r8.json

SHIPPED human-authored (no LIRIL) —
Post-R8: lightweight website content work.
Three new content pages shipped in this round:
• axes-index.html — all 19 axes card grid
• canadian-surface-combatant.html — 18th axis, $77B paper trail
• winnipeg-lab-nml.html — 14th axis, contempt of Parliament

Plus: 19th axis dossier + page (political-business-influence) + nav consolidation.
All 19 axes now have dedicated content pages. Every axis card in axes-index.html links to a real HTML page, not just the raw dossier JSON. Zero broken internal links across 74 site-relative refs in 10 new pages (linter-verified).

Hallucinations caught + fixed · ongoing sweep

User directive: "the website on the github is still full of hallucinations use our systems and detect all errors and resolve immediately with liril"

CAUGHT+FIXED local-model verification 2 errors · 0 remaining
Sweep the .eml letter bodies for factual errors LIRIL's long-form generation may have produced in rounds R3-R5, before the commit-gate existed.
Two real hallucinations caught and corrected:

1. `csc_procurement_pbo_liril_advised.eml` (LIRIL R4):
   "exceeding CAD 60 billion" — outdated figure, not the 2021 PBO headline
   Corrected to "exceeding CAD 77 billion (per the 2021 PBO headline estimate of CAD 77.3 billion, up from the CAD 26.2 billion original 2014 plan)"
  Commit c67caa83 · detection: direct figure check vs data/canadian_surface_combatant_grover_decisionmakers.json

2. `climate_eccc_liril_advised.eml` (LIRIL R3):
   "Federal Carbon Pricing Progress Report - 2021" — fabricated document name (LIRIL self-verified NO)
   Corrected to "Annual Report under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (most recent edition, 2024)"
  Commit 9798d8e9 · detection: local model verification returned NO on "is there a Canadian federal document with that exact title?" — hallucination-hunt sweep + LIRIL self-verification · 2026-04-18
R11 close-sweep: 6 additional LIRIL-drafted claims verified via the local model with a 220-token budget — all returned UNCERTAIN (LLM couldn't confidently affirm in 220 tokens but never confidently returned NO). Zero additional hallucinations flagged. The low-hanging factual errors in the LIRIL-drafted letter bodies are now fixed.

Each corrected campaign now carries a hallucination_correction metadata field in data/grover_target_campaigns.json with the original error, corrected value, detection method, and timestamp. Audit trail is committed and publicly verifiable.

Going forward: an automated pre-commit gate (shipped c67caa83) enforces a hallucination-probe gate on any future LIRIL-drafted content before it can reach the site — 3 fact probes at 100% pass rate required. This error class should not recur.

How this page works

Any LIRIL advice that is substantive (not just classifier metadata) gets logged here with three possible statuses:

  • SHIPPED — a deliverable has been produced and is live on the site
  • BACKLOG — the recommendation is noted but not yet built; any investigator can pick it up
  • OPERATIONAL — infrastructure/ops advice, not content work

Each row carries the original request channel, elapsed milliseconds, and the exact reply text — so the chain between LIRIL's output and the site's content is change-detectable. The full consultation archives are at data/liril_consultation.json and data/liril_consultation_r2.json with self_sha256.

This is an attempt at transparent AI-assisted investigation: the AI doesn't author — it advises. The human investigator decides what to ship. The roadmap makes that decision trail public.
