How BiDigest Ensures Accuracy

Transparency, verification, and multi-layer protection against AI hallucinations

The Hallucination Problem

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can "hallucinate" - generating plausible-sounding but false information. For regulated industries, this is critical: a hallucinated credential claim could create compliance risk.

Research Finding: LLMs hallucinate 17-82% on legal/regulatory queries (Stanford HAI, 2025). General factual queries have a 10-20% error rate.

Our Multi-Layer Protection

We don't trust a single AI. Every query runs through multiple verification layers to ensure accuracy.

1. Multi-Model Consensus Engine

We don't trust a single AI. Every query runs through multiple models:

  • ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity
  • When models disagree, we flag it for review
  • Perplexity serves as our "anchor" (live web search + citations)

Result: Higher confidence when all models agree. Lower confidence when they diverge.

2. Hallucination Detection Patterns

Our system automatically detects suspicious patterns:

  • Suspicious rule numbers (e.g., invented "SEC Rule 999")
  • High confidence claims with no evidence
  • Claims that contradict official sources
  • Extreme specificity on non-public information

3. Verified Business Data

All 5,900+ businesses in our database come from Google Places API - verified to exist as of 2025.

Verified Data Source

We do NOT track phantom or invented businesses. Every business in our system has been verified through Google Places API.

When AI mentions a business not in our database, we flag it as "unverified" and recommend cross-checking against official sources.

4. Compliance Disclaimers

For regulated industries, we explicitly state limitations:

  • LLMs hallucinate 17-82% on legal/regulatory queries (Stanford 2025)
  • All findings require official verification (SEC IAPD, FINRA BrokerCheck, state bars)
  • Our role: Visibility testing + red flag spotting, NOT compliance certification

Important: BiDigest monitors AI visibility and flags potential issues. We do NOT certify compliance or provide legal advice.

5. Transparency First

We believe in radical transparency. You should see exactly how we arrive at our conclusions.

Raw AI Responses

Every report includes the raw responses from each AI model. No black boxes - you can verify our analysis.

Disagreement Flags

When models conflict, we clearly flag it. You'll see exactly which models agree and which disagree.

Timestamped Queries

AI answers change over time. Every query is timestamped so you can track how recommendations evolve.

Confidence Scores

Key findings include confidence scores (0-100). High scores mean models agree; low scores mean verify.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is AI-generated information?

Current AI models hallucinate (generate false information) 10-20% of the time on factual queries, and 17-82% on complex legal/regulatory queries (Stanford 2025 research). BiDigest uses multiple protections to detect and flag potential hallucinations.

How do you detect hallucinations?

We use multiple detection methods:

  • Multi-model consensus (querying 4 AI platforms)
  • Perplexity as an anchor (it uses live web search)
  • Pattern detection for suspicious claims
  • Cross-referencing against our verified database of 5,900+ businesses from Google Places

What should I do if I see a hallucination alert?

Verify the flagged information against official sources:

  • Financial: SEC IAPD, FINRA BrokerCheck
  • Legal: State bar databases
  • Healthcare: State licensing boards
  • Insurance: NIPR, state insurance departments

Is your business database accurate?

All 5,900+ businesses in our database come from Google Places API and were verified to exist as of 2025. We do not track phantom or AI-invented businesses.

Why do you show raw AI responses?

Transparency builds trust. By showing you exactly what each AI said, you can:

  1. Verify our analysis
  2. See where models agree or disagree
  3. Catch any potential errors
  4. Make informed decisions
