A single triple-axis neutron measurement draws on papers, instrument logs, data files and specialist software, and that evidence was previously scattered across separate stages with no traceable link. TASCopilot records sources, processing steps and human review decisions as an inspectable evidence chain, while language models only extract information and explain results; scientific calculations, validation rules and human review decide whether evidence can support a claim. On the BT-7 spectrometer at the NIST Center for Neutron Research it recovered a sample rotation deliberately parked 40° away to within 0.08° of the orientation-matrix prediction, and completed 40 adaptive measurement points with all 40 counted and no refusals.
