What stays yours. A tool can help do the work. You still own the purpose, the permissions, the evidence and the final call.

How we judge fit
  • The work. What must be produced, understood, communicated or decided?
  • The information. Where does the evidence live, how current is it and what may the tool reach?
  • The checking cost. How much of your time will it take to verify and finish the result?
  • The consequence. What happens when the answer, file or action is wrong?

We do not choose from launch claims, popularity or one benchmark score.
