Why this matter is tracked
Fabricated: Case Law | Protester cited 'Sayres & Assocs.

Outcome: Warning. "Second, the protester's explanation--that it was “manual mismatches in secondary summaries” that caused the citation errors (Protester's Resp., Aug. 8, 2025, at 1)--does not meaningfully explain the number of citation errors in the protester's filings. Indeed, Oready's patently erroneous citations are far removed from mere typographical or scrivener's errors, and instead, bear the hallmarks of the use of a large-language model or other artificial intelligence (AI) without adequate verification that the generated results were accurate.
