+# Judicial Clerk Training Appendix
+### Evaluating AI-Assisted FOIA Research
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+This appendix guides clerks in assessing materials generated with
+**Federal FOIA Intelligence Search**.
+
+---
+
+## Key Principle
+
+> AI output ≠ Evidence
+
+Only the underlying FOIA source constitutes admissible material.
+
+---
+
+## What Clerks Should Look For
+
+✔ Bluebook-compliant citations  
+✔ Exhibit numbering (A-1, A-2, etc.)  
+✔ Source URLs to official agencies  
+✔ Integrity hashes (audit trail)  
+
+---
+
+## What Clerks Should Disregard
+
+✖ AI summaries as factual findings  
+✖ Interpretive conclusions  
+✖ Contextual speculation  
+
+---
+
+## Proper Use in Filings
+
+Permissible:
+- Citation organization
+- Appendix formatting
+- Reference consolidation
+
+Impermissible:
+- AI-generated factual assertions
+- Unsupported claims
+- Substituting AI for evidence
+
+---
+
+## Red Flags
+
+🚩 No source link  
+🚩 Missing exhibit reference  
+🚩 No disclosure block  
+
+---
+
+## Clerk Guidance Summary
+
+> Treat this tool as a **citation assistant**, not an evidentiary authority.
+
+Human verification remains mandatory.
