How confident should I be?
Every answer carries a colored line under it. It is the service’s own statement of how much to trust that answer, and what to do with it.
High confidence Every value in this answer was verified mechanically against a machine-checkable data model. Rely on it — and cite the clause as you would the publication itself.
Established sources The answer rests on edited documents with mechanically verified quote anchors. Sound for guidance; for normative use, read the cited clause in the official publication, as with any citation.
WARNING Treat this answer as a lead, not a source. The line names exactly which sources are experimental — verify every quotation and value against the official publication before use.
How to read an answer
- Every claim carries a citation — the publication, its edition, and the exact clause. Open a source chip to read the passage the answer drew from, in context.
- Normative values are quoted word-for-word and checked against the indexed text before the answer reaches you; a value that cannot be verified is regenerated, not shown.
- Editions are stated. Where an edition matters, the answer says which one it answered from, and prefers the in-force edition unless you named another.
- “No information” is a real answer. If the corpus doesn’t cover the question, the service says so instead of guessing.
This service is a public pilot: answers are for information only, carry no standing, and the official OIML documents govern.
Where the levels come from: the service classifies every indexed source into three classes — described under How it works — and measures itself continuously; the record lives in the History.
