The Trust Bottleneck
The constraint on AI in consequential work is no longer capability. It is whether the output is defensible, the reasoning reviewable, and the professional whose name…

Trust is the bottleneck in applied AI. We build the verification layer.
Frontier AI can produce the work. Whether a professional can rely on it — defend it, audit it, answer for it — is a different and unsolved problem. We build independent verification for AI-generated work in the settings where the cost of an unexamined answer is highest, beginning with law.
How we think
A system that produces an answer cannot be trusted to certify it — it shares its own blind spots. Trust has to come from somewhere independent: a distinct verification layer, sitting between the AI that generates work and the professional who relies on it.
That is an architectural problem, and it is sharpest in law — where value concentrates in the last few percent of accuracy and a single missed detail carries real liability. So that is where we begin.
