Why this exists
Frontier models reason brilliantly but guess on regulation: hallucinated citations, stale texts, and no way to tell a draft from a law in force. In compliance, a confident wrong answer is a liability.
The fix is not a smarter model, it is a verified source of truth the model can call. You already have the intelligence. Obsidian brings the data.
