+# Chambers Memorandum
+### Supreme Court of the United States
+
+---
+
+## Subject
+Evaluation of AI-Assisted FOIA Research Tool:  
+**Federal FOIA Intelligence Search**
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+This memorandum provides guidance on how to interpret materials generated
+using the above-referenced tool when encountered in briefs, appendices,
+or petitions.
+
+---
+
+## Overview of the Tool
+
+Federal FOIA Intelligence Search is a **non-governmental, read-only research aid**
+that generates:
+
+- Official FOIA reading room search links
+- Bluebook-formatted citations
+- Court-ready appendices
+- Optional AI-generated summaries (disclosed and hashed)
+
+The system does **not**:
+- Host documents
+- Generate original evidence
+- Scrape government systems
+- Substitute for factual findings
+
+---
+
+## Evidentiary Status
+
+### Admissible Components
+✔ Underlying FOIA documents (agency-hosted)  
+✔ Bluebook citations (if accurate)  
+✔ Exhibit indexing and formatting  
+
+### Non-Admissible Components
+✖ AI-generated summaries  
+✖ Interpretive narratives  
+✖ Analytical conclusions  
+
+AI outputs are explicitly labeled **non-evidentiary** and include integrity hashes.
+
+---
+
+## Clerk Review Guidance
+
+When reviewing filings referencing this tool:
+
+1. Confirm that each assertion traces to an official FOIA source.
+2. Treat AI summaries as *argument scaffolding only*.
+3. Verify Bluebook citations independently where material.
+4. Disregard AI content lacking explicit disclosure blocks.
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+The tool presents **minimal institutional risk** due to:
+- No persistent data storage
+- No personal data processing
+- Explicit AI opt-in
+- Clear evidentiary boundaries
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+> Federal FOIA Intelligence Search functions as a **citation and organization aid**, not an evidentiary authority.
+
+Its use does not alter traditional standards of review or evidentiary admissibility.
