Liquet Uses Three Qwen AI Models and Ancient Roman Law to Arbitrate Marketplace Disputes

Liquet is a fully autonomous dispute arbitration agent built to address the shortcomings of rule-based, overconfident automated resolution systems used by online marketplaces. The platform runs incoming disputes through a three-stage AI pipeline using three specialised Qwen models: a fast triage classifier, a vision model for analysing product images, and a flagship reasoning model for full adjudication. Inspired by the ancient Roman legal concept of 'non liquet' — meaning 'it is not clear' — the system is designed to abstain and escalate to a human reviewer rather than force an uncertain verdict. A dispute is resolved autonomously only when confidence reaches at least 80%, the order value is under $500, and the verdict proves stable across three adjudication runs. Cases that fail any of these conditions are flagged and handed off to a human reviewer along with a complete decision brief.
