Explains preservation under a legal hold
Once litigation is reasonably anticipated, potentially relevant information is preserved wherever it is, and every routine deletion of it is suspended (Sedona; EDRM; ISO 15489-1:2016 9.9).
Can AI do this?
AI does this partly Some of the tested AI models master this; others do not show it. 2 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 81% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 94% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
What it looks like in practice
Expected result: Once litigation is reasonably anticipated, potentially relevant information is preserved wherever it is, and every routine deletion of it is suspended (Sedona; EDRM; ISO 15489-1:2016 9.9).
How it is assessed: Answers a written question on the preservation correctly
