Clarify™ · Grounded, not generic

Why not a general AI assistant?

A general assistant will answer almost anything — including beyond what it actually knows, which is where drift and hallucination come from. Ask it the same question twice and you can get two different answers — no good when you need a record you can stand behind.

Clarify™ works differently. It answers only from the specific brief in front of you and its cited primary source. Ask something the brief doesn’t cover and it says so, rather than inventing an answer — and the same question returns a consistent, grounded answer every time. The trade-off is deliberate: narrower, but defensible enough to act on.
