answer for.

How it works

The model is always
the last step.

Most AI tools send your query straight to a model. MC sorts the work first. Then it gathers evidence, checks the rules, and only then calls a model.

SCAN

Check the input

PII and PHI detected and stripped before classification. If the gate is unsure, it closes.

CLASSIFY

Sort the question

320-node ontology. Keyword → BM25 → LLM fallback. Every route gets a score.

GOVERN

Enforce the boundary

Sensitive domains block external calls. Not a config flag. A structural gate.

RETRIEVE

Gather the evidence

Knowledge entries pulled and freshness-scored. Stale entries filtered before REASON.

REASON

Call the model last

Full structured context assembled first. Local or cloud — based on governance, not cost.

STORE always fires — every query gets an immutable path record
Who it's for

Work you cannot paste
into ChatGPT.

LOCAL ONLY MC-LEGAL-004

Legal

A federal court ruled in February 2026 that cloud AI can void privilege. MC routes legal work on your machine. That boundary is code, not a promise.

After United States v. Heppner (SDNY, Feb 2026)
LOCAL ONLY MC-HC-001

Healthcare

HIPAA 2026 takes effect August 2, 2026. PHI decisions need audit trails. MC records the path for every query — automatically, without configuration.

HIPAA 2026 Final Rule — AI audit trails required for PHI decisions
FIDUCIARY LENS MC-FIN-005

Financial services

Fiduciary work starts with the client's facts. MC pulls the client's files and your firm's knowledge before the model reasons.

Conflict detection built into the fiduciary lens
PERSONAL CANVAS FILE MAP

Personal work

Write your doctor. MC uses your medical files and your tone. Health data stays on your machine. You do not configure a workflow.

Your lens learns from your actual patterns
The intelligence

Three things that meet at inference.

MC combines your professional context, your personal patterns, and your actual files at the moment of inference. The boundary decides what can leave your machine.

  • ⬡
    Canvas The rules for your field. Legal, healthcare, personal work. 25 bundled domains.
  • ◎
    Lens How you work. Your tone, priorities, and sensitive zones. Grows from real use.
  • ▦
    File map Your folders, not your file contents. MC learns where things live — what should stay put.
What you see

Every answer shows its work.

Every answer carries its route. You see the node, model, sources, and whether anything left your machine. No black box. No guessing.

"Draft a response to the Acme escalation using the contract terms from my legal folder."
🔒 LOCAL ONLY MC-LEGAL-004 legal lens 3 sources
mc why Classified as contract review. Client data detected — external routing blocked. Fiduciary lens active. Pulled 3 contract clause entries from knowledge library.
"What's the HIPAA audit trail requirement for AI-assisted PHI decisions?"
🔒 LOCAL ONLY MC-HC-002 clinical lens 5 sources
mc why Classified as compliance assessment. PHI policy domain — blocks_external enforced. Retrieved HIPAA 2026 final rule (Tier 1 source). Confidence 0.91.
"What are the current Fed rate expectations for the next two meetings?"
⬡ EXTERNAL MC-FIN-003 research mode 4 sources
mc why Public market data query. No sensitive content detected. Routed to external research. Query rebuilt from classification — your words replaced by node semantics.

AI you can talk to.
A voice you can customize.

Mission Canvas shapes every response to match the professional voice of the person it serves — tone, pace, formality, and domain vocabulary. We call this Tessitura: a voice framework that learns from real use, not a prompt template.
