Who it's for
Who it's for
Anywhere the answer has to be right, and has to be checkable.
We're starting with the people whose whole profession is keeping knowledge trustworthy: archivists, librarians, curators, and scholars. For more than a century they have set the standard for knowing where something came from, and we're building to that standard rather than around it. Their collections carry what most systems overlook: handwritten pages, many languages, fragile formats, and long silences in the record that deserve to be respected, not smoothed over. We're building for them first because they have been right the longest, and the same principles then carry to every field where being wrong has a cost.

Show what the record says, and prove what it doesn't.
Science and medicine.
Trace a claim back to the study it came from, with nothing smoothed over.
Journalists.
Every claim resolves to a source, and contradictions surface.
Students and the public.
An answer you can check for yourself, and the habit of asking where every claim came from.
Government and civic institutions.
Their records stay on their systems and never leave their control.
