Glass Box Transparency

Every response from the /analyze endpoint includes a glass_box object that provides full transparency into the AI decision-making process.

Why Glass Box?

Patent prosecution requires trust. Attorneys need to verify AI-generated analysis before filing with the USPTO. Glass Box metadata lets you:

See which AI expert modules participated in the analysis
Verify that prior art citations were checked against source documents
Assess confidence levels per expert
Track model versions for reproducibility
Measure processing time

Fields

Field	Type	Description
`experts_invoked`	string[]	AI expert modules that ran during analysis
`citations_verified`	boolean	Whether prior art citations were verified against source text
`confidence_scores`	object	Per-expert confidence (0-1 scale)
`model_versions`	object	LLM model version used by each expert
`elapsed_seconds`	number	Total processing time

Expert modules

Expert	Role
`claim_analyst`	Parses claims, identifies rejected claims, maps rejection bases
`prior_art_mapper`	Maps prior art references to specific claim limitations
`examiner_profiler`	Analyzes examiner behavior patterns (when `include_examiner_intel` is true)
`strategy_recommender`	Recommends per-claim response strategies

Using Glass Box in your agent

AI agents should check Glass Box data to calibrate trust:

result = analyze_office_action(...)
glass_box = result["glass_box"]

# Only proceed with high-confidence analysis
if glass_box["confidence_scores"].get("claim_analyst", 0) < 0.7:
    # Flag for human review
    notify_user("Low confidence analysis -- recommend manual review")

# Verify citations were checked
if not glass_box["citations_verified"]:
    # Citations may be hallucinated
    notify_user("Citations not verified against source documents")
