How each reference table is built
Four-stage process · every statement is hash-pinned to source and reviewed by a human editor before publication.
Stage 1 · Machine
Source archival
Primary regulator texts are fetched directly from official portals and hash-pinned.
Stage 2 · AI
Dual-judge verification
Two independent AI systems must both locate the exact supporting text in the source.
Stage 3 · Machine
Reconciliation
Disagreements between the two judges are flagged and escalated to the editor.
Stage 4 · Human
Editorial sign-off
The PAI editor reviews every page, checks a sample against source, and signs before publication.
