Across the 2025–2026 documented deployments at AmLaw 100 firms, agentic AI captures durable value in three of the six billable-hour sub-tasks (document review, precedent retrieval, deposition prep) and produces a net malpractice-risk increase in two (legal drafting submitted as final, citation generation) vs a junior-associate-drafted equivalent at the same time-to-delivery; the remaining sub-task (client communication) is bounded by professional-conduct rules, not technology.
Claim created at publish. Three-value sub-tasks grounded in Allen & Overy / Harvey deployment outcomes (FT, Law.com coverage) and Lexis+ AI / Westlaw Precision vendor disclosures. Two-risk sub-tasks grounded in Mata v. Avianca (S.D.N.Y. Jun 2023) and Park v. Kim (2nd Cir. Jan 2024) sanctions, plus Stanford CodeX hallucination-rate data on legal-specific LLMs. The critical comparator in the claim is vs junior-associate-drafted equivalent at the same time-to-delivery, not vs zero; the claim overstates if read without that comparator. Client-communication bound grounded in ABA Formal Opinion 512 (Jul 2024) and Model Rule 1.4. Malpractice insurance angle: e&o carrier tightening on AI-final-drafted work cited as directional; the synthesis is labelled source:our-estimate in the article body. 90-day review cadence. Trigger conditions: (a) e&o carrier publicly underwriting AI-final-drafted filings — collapses the two-risk sub-task finding for that task class; (b) second sanction wave in 2026 H2 — reinforces or extends it; (c) ABA / EU bar guidance shift post-FO 512 that expressly relaxes or tightens the client-communication bound; (d) Stanford CodeX or comparable independent hallucination-rate re-run on a legal-specific LLM showing sustained <5% hallucination on citation-generation tasks.

About this register
The Reporting register tracks claims published from articles addressed to senior enterprise IT leaders — CIOs, IT directors, heads of platform. Claims are reviewed on a 30–90 day cadence; each review either reaffirms the claim, marks one substantive part as Partial, or marks it Not holding once the underlying evidence has been overtaken.

URL state changed. The /the-agentic-ai-revolution-real-world-success-stories-and-strategic-insights-from-2024-2025/ slug now serves a deliberately rewritten retrospective (claimId AM-130, "Agentic AI 2024-2025 retrospective", published 04 May 2026) against audited primary sources. The 28 Apr 2026 redirect to /retractions/ has been lifted to allow that. AM-002 the claim remains Not holding — the original $3.50/dollar + 70% failure-rate framing was withdrawn and is not restored. AM-130 is a separate claim with its own evidence chain. Readers arriving at /holding/AM-002 see the withdrawal here; the article link surfaces the new piece at the URL the original lived at, with this entry as the audit trail.

Klarna walk-back primary-source upgrade — added Siemiatkowski verbatim quotes via Bloomberg-cited-by-Fortune (9 May 2025) and the Uber-style freelance hiring detail via Entrepreneur. Closes the highest-priority evidence gap from the source dossier.
- AM-115 · Holding · 29 Apr 2026
Initial publication 29 Apr 2026 — the first Quarterly Claim Review Bulletin. The claim itself is recursive: it asserts that the bulletin will ship quarterly, and the next review (30 Jul 2026) tests whether the Q3 bulletin actually appeared. Status starts as 'up' because the claim is currently true (the Q2 bulletin shipped). The verdict at end of July 2026 will move to Holding, Partial (bulletin shipped but on a delayed cadence), or Not holding (no bulletin shipped). REVIEW: Peter — please verify claim text + cadence wording before removing rewriteInProgress flag.
