Cairn Semantics

Cite or refuse. Receipts for everything.

CAIRN answers questions from your documents with source citations and a hash-sealed receipt — or refuses, on the record. It distills knowledge cards no model can fake, and finds where your own documents disagree before someone else does.

Refuses structurally

When the corpus can't substantiate an answer, CAIRN declines — by arithmetic, not model goodwill. The refusal itself is sealed.

Everything receipted

Answers, refusals, cards, and audits are entries in a hash-chained ledger. Any after-the-fact edit shows.

Facts survive verification

Knowledge cards keep only facts whose verbatim quotes check character-for-character against their source.

Nothing leaves your box

Zero-dependency core, local models, your hardware. Privilege and PHI stay home.
