Why we’re built this way

Show the source. Let a person decide.

Wendell and Mike met through their kids and play golf together. In one of their conversations, Wendell asked what Mike was doing with AI at work: putting language models into production on sensitive health-benefits documents, with answers that cite the passage they came from.

Wendell had spent twenty years on the other side of that problem, as a federal contracting officer, in research subawards built on the FDP templates, and in his own law practice. He knew how much of the job is re-keying, re-checking and proving where an answer came from. He asked Mike to build it with him.

Evidence on screen

If the product states something, its source is visible or one click away.

A person has the last word

Machine output is a proposal. Review is part of the product, not an add-on.

Strictest rules first

No early technical choice rules out a healthcare, government or EU customer later.

Build once, share

Identity, permissions and audit are shared services that every application inherits.

Leadership

The people you’ll talk to.
