02 · Method
Federation, not costume.
A general model asked to sound like a lawyer is still a general model. FIA is a set of specialists, a second engine that tests what the first proposes, and a rule that the working has to be showable.
01
Federated specialists
Eight expert systems, each with a domain, a posture, and a refusal to pretend competence it does not have. They do not collapse into a single general model wearing eight hats.
02
Dual engines
A generation engine proposes. A symbolic engine tests. The second pass is not a style. It is the difference between a fluent paragraph and a claim that can survive inspection.
03
Symbolic arbitration
Logic trees, domain rules, and precedent sit between the experts. Arbitration is how a federated system refuses a plausible answer that the record will not bear.
04
Sequential reasoning
Walk the problem in order. Show how the conclusion was reached. If the working cannot be shown, the answer is not ready for high-consequence use.
05
Evidence, inference, gap
What the record establishes, what may reasonably be drawn from it, and what is absent stay on different lines. A plausible reading is not a finding.
06
Human judgment remains the authority
The systems support a professional desk. They do not replace counsel, a physician, a priest, a CFO, or a mechanic. The person in the chair decides.
