Spectrum 0.2 beta · Public tier · read 2026-11-10 · not reviewed by its vendor yet

Chat assistant that answers legal questions with citations to official Portuguese and EU sources, analyses uploaded documents, drafts contracts, emails and translations, and organises work in projects. The site menu names it 'ByTheLaw: Legal research and knowledge'; the help centre calls it 'Legal Chat'.

*Figure. The walk from the card down to each indicator, its public source and the instruments it touches; the sections below list the same in text.*

## What each level rests on

*Figure. For each dimension, what its level rests on: one fold-out per fact, each opening that fact's path down to the source.*

This card rates a product as its vendor documents it, not anyone's deployment of it. A feature the operator has to turn on counts, and is marked as available. Levels are computed from the evidence below by [published rules](../../evidence-map/index.md). A dimension with no evidence reads "not yet evidenced".

## Autonomy: level 1, Assists

*What does the agent do on its own?* Answers, drafts, summarises; a person does each step.

- `I15` The person operates: every action is prompted and controlled by them. In the chat as shipped, the lawyer writes each request and the assistant returns an answer to it; this credit is for the chat only, since in the optional Citius configuration ByTheLaw reads Citius on its own schedule without a prompt (see not credited). "ByTheLaw interprets the request and returns an answer grounded in official sources." [Source](https://help.bythelaw.com/en/escrever-o-primeiro-prompt/) (read, documented, captured 2026-11-10T18:45Z, sha256 `d975dcaa530f859f`) · π Moderate · S1·R5·A1 ×3

This evidence touches 1 provision: EAAMM.

**Next unlock: level 2, Suggests.** Public evidence that the agent suggests; the person reviews and approves each action.

## Reach: level 2, Integrated

*How connected is it?* Documented connectors to common tools. **This level holds with: Citius.** As shipped, with nothing turned on, it is level 1, Contained.

- `I11` It connects to external tools or services across a trust boundary. The Citius integration uses the lawyer's own Citius credentials to read the courts system automatically, and Citius can be a source of the chat on request and approval; experimental, granted by ByTheLaw to selected users. "utilizar as Credenciais Citius para aceder ao Citius de forma automatizada" [Source](https://app.bythelaw.com/pt/termos-citius) (read, documented, available, captured 2026-11-10T18:45Z, sha256 `8cdb661d2a779f7d`) · π Moderate · S1·R5·A1 ×3

This evidence touches 3 provisions: OWASP, NIST AI RMF.

**Next unlock: level 4, Ecosystem.** Public evidence that agents operate across organisational boundaries or disparate stacks; and that others build on it: third parties publish integrations, skills or agents for it.

## Control: level 1, Stated

*Can people stay in command?* Documents say how people approve, override or stop it. **This level holds with: Citius.** As shipped, with nothing turned on, it is not yet evidenced.

- `I47` A limit on it is a rule in prose. The Citius terms state in prose that the authorisation covers only consulting and reading. "A autorização prevista no número anterior é limitada às operações de" [Source](https://app.bythelaw.com/pt/termos-citius) (read, documented, available, captured 2026-11-10T18:45Z, sha256 `8cdb661d2a779f7d`) · π Moderate · S1·R5·A1 ×3
- `I38` High-impact actions need a person's approval. In the Citius integration, an unread notification is opened (which marks it read in Citius, irreversibly) only after the user's prior express action, preceded by a warning. "após ação prévia e expressa do Utilizador na Plataforma" [Source](https://app.bythelaw.com/pt/termos-citius) (read, documented, available, captured 2026-11-10T18:45Z, sha256 `8cdb661d2a779f7d`) · π Moderate · S1·R5·A1 ×3

This evidence touches 7 provisions: OWASP, EU AI Act, AAGMM, NIST AI RMF, Salesforce, Microsoft.

**Next unlock: level 2, Configurable.** Public evidence that what it can reach is enumerated: scopes, permissions, tools.

## Openness: level 2, Documented

*Does it show its work?* Public documents on how it works, its data, its models and its limits.

- `I22` Its limits and known failure cases are documented for those who use it. Help pages document limits of use, such as upload limits and that files attached inside an email are not opened. "Files attached inside the email are not opened" [Source](https://help.bythelaw.com/en/formatos-limites-e-ocr/) (read, documented, captured 2026-11-10T18:45Z, sha256 `1ce90174b97b213c`) · π Moderate · S1·R5·A1 ×3
- `I58` The data it uses is described. The help centre lists the legislative, case-law and regulatory databases answers are drawn from. "ByTheLaw draws on the legislative, case-law and regulatory databases in this list" [Source](https://help.bythelaw.com/en/fontes-oficiais/) (read, documented, captured 2026-11-10T18:45Z, sha256 `ba9211ba0a9d771e`) · π Moderate · S1·R5·A1 ×3

This evidence touches 7 provisions: NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, AAGMM, EAAMM, Salesforce.

**Next unlock: level 3, Measured.** Public evidence that test or evaluation results are published.

## How far to trust this card

**Status: Draft.** Draft means the facts were found in public pages and reviewed by agents. The company has not confirmed them and no customer has gone on record. [FACT-Ray](../../../fact-ray/index.md) says how far each fact can be trusted: who says it (Source), how firmly it is recorded (Record) and who stands behind it (Accountability). It never changes a level.

- **The facts:** 16 facts: 16 π Moderate. Each is written beside its evidence above.
- **The chain:** found by an agent, captured and hashed, checked by 2 other agents (same model family, shared repository); no human has signed it.
- **Who:** produced by `gamma.studio@web-summit.dinis`; checked by `gamma.review@web-summit.dinis` and `gamma.approve@web-summit.dinis`. [The actors](../../../fact-ray/actors/index.md).
- **What would raise it:** the company's own file at `/.well-known/fact-ray.json` (Source 2), a customer's statement of use (Source 3), or a named person signing the card ([how](../../../fact-ray/well-known/index.md)).

## The standards constellation

One piece of public evidence can speak to several frameworks at once. "Touched" never means "complies". The share is of the provisions that can be read from outside.

| Instrument | Provisions touched | Of those publicly readable |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce | 6 | 24 |
| EAAMM | 2 | 8 |
| OWASP | 7 | 18 |
| MCP authorization | 2 | 8 |
| AAGMM | 2 | 6 |
| Microsoft | 2 | 23 |
| NIST AI RMF | 15 | 20 |
| EU AI Act | 4 | 6 |

The 40 provisions lit

Each line item, with the facts that reach it. "Evidenced" is a link of the kind *same*: the fact is what the provision asks. "Partly" is a link of the kind *part*: the fact is one piece of it. "Its absence" points the other way. Each provision has its own page with its text and its place in the source.

## Upper layers

The public card is the front door. The same evidence, read with the governance rules, is this agent's [GAMMA-Ray rating](../../../scans/bythelaw-legal-chat/index.md): freedom, governance, the level held, the grant and a work order. That layer is written for an operator.

## The vault

Every source behind this card was captured and hashed into a public sgit vault (`dllzmbc3`): `captures.json` lists each URL with the SHA-256 of what was fetched and when. Read key:
