Hazards and failure states

• Invented, fabricated, or weakly attributed primary sources
• Suppression or flattening of disputed evidence
• Tutoring output being mistaken for institutional, academic, or professional authority
• Unauthorized collection or exposure of student identity data
• Unapproved external enrollment or account actions
• Unsupported published curriculum claims
• Overconfident lesson pathways based on incomplete context
• Study records that omit provenance, uncertainty, or revisions

Claims potentially allowed after source review

• The tool is not an official university, course, curriculum, enrollment, or credentialing authority
• The tool does not invent primary sources or conceal disputed evidence
• The tool does not independently verify sources beyond the supplied record
• The tool does not handle student identity data, external enrollment, high-stakes instruction, or published curriculum claims without an approved authority path
• No customer use, current performance, or educational effect is established
