Important Note on Branding
Ecotax's AI tools are powered by a best-available AI foundation model, which may change over time as technology evolves. We do not endorse or affiliate with any single AI company. Our outputs reflect Ecotax's fiscal domain expertise layered on top of the underlying AI capability — not the views or standards of any third-party AI provider.

Known Accuracy Limitations
Understanding where AI outputs require additional professional scrutiny
Human Expert Review Process
How Ecotax applies human oversight before outputs are finalised
Real-Time AI Generation (Self-Service Tools)
Market intelligence reports are generated on-demand using a frontier LLM with Nigerian fiscal and market domain expertise.
Deterministic Calculation Tools
Tax calculators and filing wizards apply fixed, rules-based formulas based on the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 — not AI generation — so computed liabilities and assessments are reproducible and verifiable against the statute.
Human Expert Review (Advisory Engagements)
For formal advisory reports, policy briefs, and research publications, Ecotax experts review AI-generated drafts, verify assumptions against primary sources, and provide institutional sign-off.
User Responsibility & Verification
Self-service tool outputs (calculators, tracker analyses, research queries) are indicative only. Users are responsible for verifying critical figures with official sources (NBS, CBN, NRS, DMO, etc.) before relying on them in official or commercial decisions.
Scope of Human Review on This Platform
Self-Service Tools: Tax Calculators, Research AI queries, Market Intelligence, and Performance Trackers are real-time AI outputs. No human review applied—provided as indicative tools only. Users must verify critical figures with official sources (NBS, CBN, NRS, DMO, OAGF) before making official decisions.
Advisory Engagements: Formal reports and research produced through our consulting practice undergo expert review and institutional sign-off.
