Overview
Nylon shows citations and an estimated certainty score for provided answers.
When you’ll see citations
Focus areas: Answers are grounded in sources from Nylon's curated database. Every claim in the answer is accompanied by in‑text citations that appear next to the relevant sentences or paragraphs.
Click to verify: Click any in‑text citation or its matching number in the references list at the bottom to open the precise location in the original source (e.g., the exact page in a case or the relevant snippet from commentary).
References vs See‑also vs View more
References: The sources the AI actually used to generate the answer. These match the in‑text citations.
See‑also: Helpful, related materials that the AI did not rely on directly in the answer.
View more: Opens the broader set of sources the system reviewed for relevance but did not ultimately rely on.
Estimated certainty score
Higher scores indicate the AI found a close, direct match to your question in the sources it read (e.g., a specific provision or case passage).
Lower scores can occur when the answer format requires value judgements from Nylon (e.g., drafting an email to a client) or when the available sources provide limited, indirect support.
