ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The cap means that regardless of the harm suffered, recoverable damages are bounded by a small dollar amount tied to recent fee payments, which may be far less than actual losses.

Interpretive note: The evidence span is truncated; the full triggering date language for the six-month period is not visible, but the primary proposition of the cap is clear.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you have a claim against Anthropic, the maximum you can recover is the greater of your last six months of payments or $100.
