The shape of this problem
The answer exists and nobody can find it
The problem
Users struggled to locate relevant retirement-law provisions through exact terms alone. Retirement law is written in statutory language that nobody uses to describe their own situation - someone asking when they can retire early has to guess the formal vocabulary before keyword search can help them. The cost of landing on the wrong provision is not a poor search experience; it is a member forming a wrong expectation about their own pension.
What we built
We combined multilingual embeddings, cosine similarity, structured legal content, and LLM relevance refinement to handle the complex legal language and the wide variation in how members phrase a query.
What moved
| Measure | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Correct statutory provision in the top three results | 62% | 93% |
| Everyday-language queries returning a usable provision | 34% | 89% |
| Retrieved candidates discarded as semantically close but legally wrong | not measured | ~1 in 6 |
Correct statutory provision in the top three results
Everyday-language queries returning a usable provision
Figures are drawn from the practice's own delivery records for the engagement named, measured against the process that preceded it. They have not been through third-party audit, and none is presented as an average across clients.
What it turned on
Refining relevance after retrieval, rather than trusting similarity alone, is what kept a semantically close but legally wrong provision from being presented as the answer. Relevant to any body whose entitlements are defined in statute that its members have to interpret for themselves.
