QiXCite Documentation

What is QiXCite?

QiXCite is a citation governance engine for legal AI, part of the Quorum Integrity eXchange (QIX) framework by OrchIntel. It prevents hallucinated citations, verifies authority existence, separates treatment lanes (Licensed Treatment vs Treatment Insight (Estimated • Beta)), and produces verifiable evidence bundles for every verification.

QiXCite is purpose-built for law firms, legal departments, and compliance teams that use AI in their workflows. It runs as a managed service on IOA Cloud or on your own infrastructure with a local/on-premise deployment.

Supported Jurisdictions

QiXCite supports citations from multiple jurisdictions and legal systems.

Governance Runtime Modes

QiXCite integrates with IOA Proxy for three governance runtime modes. Choose how strictly to govern AI-generated content.

Anti-Hallucination Design

QiXCite uses multiple layers to prevent and detect citation hallucinations.

Try It: Sample Citations

Test QiXCite with these sample citations in the Console Playground or via the API.

Continuous Monitoring

QiXCite can continuously monitor citations in your filed documents. If a cited authority is overruled, questioned, or retracted after filing, QiXCite detects the change and notifies you via webhook.

How QiXCite Compares

QiXCite is the only citation governance tool that combines anti-hallucination verification, cryptographic evidence bundles, and continuous monitoring in a single platform.

Academic Citation Governance

The same governance engine that validates legal citations now validates academic and scientific references. Same PASS/WARN/FAIL/BLOCK outcomes, same evidence bundles, same API—different authority providers.

Academic capabilities include:

• DOI resolution via CrossRef and DataCite
• PubMed / PMC article existence and metadata verification
• Retraction Watch integration for retracted paper detection
• arXiv paper verification and metadata
• Citation formatting validation (APA, Bluebook, OSCOLA, AGLC)

Set jurisdiction: "ACADEMIC" in your API calls to use academic providers. The same endpoint that validates case law validates research citations.

Authority Alignment Beta

Authority Alignment answers the question existence/semantic checks cannot: does the cited authority actually support the claim? A citation can exist, pass configured treatment checks, and be semantically similar — yet still be misused. Schenck v. United States cited to argue all speech is protected is a classic example.

Verdict Types

Misalignment Taxonomy

Free Tier & Cost

Each tenant receives 10 complimentary Authority Alignment checks on IOA Cloud LLMs. Beyond that, use cloud quota or optionally configure your own Anthropic/OpenAI key in Settings.
