Evidence before claims.
Human judgment at the center.
Always ascending.
MANIFESTO
Freedom is not inherited by technology. It is protected by people who choose to build it responsibly.
Our working principles are clear: represent uncertainty honestly, keep people accountable for consequential decisions, and test claims against evidence. This is the standard we intend to build toward.
