Tools that checktrust themselves.

We build research instruments on one premise: when a system produces answers without being coupled to the reasons behind them, error is structural. So our tools check their own output — and show you what survives.

Instruments

KRISIS
live
scientific paper review

The model reads your paper, argues its findings, and cites the exact passage each one rests on. References are checked against live sources — never from memory. A counter-pass then refutes what it can. You decide what enters the review.

VITELA

writing LaTeX, checked as you write

An editor where your document is verified while you type. You name your tables, figures and claims — so failures arrive in your words, before you ever see the PDF, and a coauthor's changes are accepted or rejected in place. Everything runs in your browser, TeX included — nothing leaves your machine.

EXACTTEX — a superset of LaTeX, created at AF Labs. Rename your .tex to .xtex and nothing changes; from there, what you name gets checked — references that point at something that exists and is what you call it, images that are where you declare them, citations that are in the bibliography.

Every claim is checked before it ships.
What holds up is what you keep.

These tools are the working method of the Philosophy of Artificial Fallibility — a research programme on why systems uncoupled from reasons still produce answers that look justified — turned into software.
