PRODUCT LINE — GOVERNED EXPERT DESK SERIES

One machine class. Configured for the work your firm sells.

An Expert Desk is not a general assistant. It is a manufactured work system, configured around one important professional workflow, grounded in your firm's own knowledge, and governed by your professionals' approval. This sheet describes the class and the configurations currently available.

What every Desk is made of.

Six configuration elements define a Desk completely. Nothing else is hidden behind the plate. When we install your Desk, this table is filled in with your firm's values — and it becomes the machine's identification record.

MACHINE CONFIGURATION — CLASS DEFINITION
C1KNOWLEDGE SOURCEYour firm's governed knowledge. Isolated per firm, never pooled, never used to serve anyone else.
C2DOMAIN INSTRUCTIONSThe standing voice and rules of your practice — how your firm answers, drafts and qualifies.
C3BEHAVIOR MENUA closed menu of permitted capabilities, routed per request. A Desk cannot improvise new behaviors; additions are manufactured.
C4DELIVERABLE FORMATSThe documents this Desk produces — defined with you, detected and recorded as work product.
C5REVIEW POLICYAll / External-only / None-internal. Nothing external leaves without a professional's release.
C6DELIVERY BINDINGApproved recipients and channels only — configured at manufacture, enforced by the machine.
02 /Duty CycleREF ED-02

What a Desk may do.

Five operations, one closed menu. Every request is routed to one of them — and when a request doesn't fit the menu, the Desk asks instead of guessing.

OP-1Research

Retrieves from the governed corpus. Sources attach to what it finds.

OP-2Analyze

Compares evidence, surfaces discrepancies, and says so when materials disagree.

OP-3Draft

Produces the configured work product in your firm's voice.

OP-4Critique

Reviews its own draft — gaps, assumptions, and what a partner should verify.

OP-5Prepare

Stages the finished draft, evidence and critique for professional inspection.

NOT A MENU CHOICE — IF YOUR FIRM'S WORK
FITS THE CLASS, WE CAN BUILD ITS DESK.

04 /Work-Product LifecycleREF ED-04

Every deliverable carries its state.

Work product moves through recorded states. The hold is structural: an external deliverable cannot reach delivery without a professional's release, and a rejected draft returns to the Desk carrying the professional's notes.

FIG. E4 — STATE RAIL. THE RED FRAME IS THE HOLD; ONLY A PERSON MOVES WORK PAST IT.

What arrives with every installation.

A founding installation is a working machine in production — not a license key.
