Evidence operations

Retrieval before reasoning.

01

Ask the matter

Hybrid evidence retrieval and evidence-grounded synthesis with source labels, page references and explicit uncertainty.

02

Search precisely

Exact names, emails, amounts and dates combined with semantic search for concepts, aliases and paraphrases.

03

Create artifacts

Produce downloadable Markdown, HTML and JSON evidence briefs with a reproducible source manifest.

04

Work in your own tool

Use the OpenAI-compatible API or remote MCP from compatible AI and coding tools without learning another interface.

Matter controls

The evidence boundary is part of every answer.

Raw evidence remains immutable. Search visibility, model context and consultant permissions are controlled separately and audited.

Active quarantine rule

Excluded from visible search results, model context, consultant answers and artifacts. Retained only in the immutable raw evidence layer pending authorised disposition.
