The only AI safety infrastructure with empirical evidence of catching convergent hallucination.

When six LLMs agree on the same wrong answer about a regulated topic, standard "consensus" scoring hides the failure. Quorum catches it. Patent-pending. EU AI Act-aligned. Deployed in production.

EU AI Act high-risk enforcement begins

Multi-LLM "consensus" was supposed to solve this. It doesn't.

When Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek and Grok all agree on the same answer, it feels safe. In regulated domains, it isn't. Their training data overlaps. Their stale snapshots align. The consensus scoring reports high confidence — on a shared fabrication.

Regulator renames

OISC was renamed to Immigration Advice Authority (Jan 2025). Six sub-models we tested still use "OISC" — with full confidence.

Fee updates

The UK Immigration Health Surcharge changed from £624 to £1,035 in Feb 2024. DeepSeek still returns £624.

Article misattribution

DeepSeek reports EU AI Act Article 31 as "deployer obligations." It actually governs Notified Bodies. Deployer obligations are Article 26.

Invented citations

Models fabricate section numbers ("Appendix Skilled Worker §3.2.1 v2026-06-15") that do not exist. All six sub-models cite it together.

Who this puts at risk

Legal firms giving immigration advice. Financial services making FCA compliance calls. Medical institutions triaging drug interactions. Any regulated professional whose advice is now increasingly LLM-assisted — and whose insurance excludes AI-caused errors.

This is the first published empirical evidence.

Peer-published in July 2026 with DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21314595. Full reproducer released. Every claim in the benchmark verified against gov.uk, FCA, artificialintelligenceact.eu. No Wikipedia. No LLM ground truth. Only primary authoritative sources.

"On 2026-06-28, six sub-models produced 5-out-of-5 fabricated claims about UK immigration adviser rules at 78% consensus confidence. Standard semantic-agreement scoring reported high confidence in the wrong answer."

What we built

A two-layer safety guard: (1) a domain-aware regex heuristic that flags fabrication shapes (SOC codes, precise monetary figures, invented citations, regulator renames) at zero LLM cost. (2) An LLM-as-judge second line that identifies the shared prior the sub-models are converging on, and returns a calibration multiplier.

The layers fuse multiplicatively. On our benchmark, this catches 75% of fabrications that single-model calls silently approve — at a marginal cost of £0.00005 per query.
