Not adopted. A person accepts a proposal, edits it or refuses it.
Four steps, one record.
No model is trained on the project. It reads what the project already gathered, drafts, and waits.
- 01
The project gathers its record
Surveys, comments, maps, documents, the plan.
- 02
You ask a question
In your own words, about this project.
- 03
It drafts from the evidence
Sources attached to every line.
- 04
You decide, the record keeps it
Accepted proposals become project actions.
Five kinds of information.
Only what the project already holds. Nothing is brought in from outside it, and nothing is inferred from a summary.
Comments
Filed against a page, a map point or a place, and kept as written.

Closed questions counted; open answers kept in full.

The draft, page by page, and the sources it cites.
Read in full
What it will not do.
Four commitments, made once and kept in the code rather than in a policy page.
Nothing is invented.
Every draft cites the record it came from. A claim it cannot source is not shown.
Nothing publishes itself.
A draft never reaches the public. A person sends it.
No decision is made for you.
Every proposal waits for someone to accept it.
Your project stays yours.
Never used to train the model. The record remains the project's own.
