What we commit to.

How we handle the record

Seven commitments that apply to every biography we produce. The full version, written for auditors and enterprise buyers, is published in detail as The Standard.

1
Every fact is sourced.

Nothing is invented, guessed, or filled in to make the story read more smoothly. If a detail appears in the biography, we can point to what it came from.

2
You can see what informed it.

Which sources shaped a specific passage is available on request, and where practical, by default.

3
Interpretation is always labelled.

Anything about someone's inner life, character, or motives is marked as a reading, not a fact — and it's grounded in documented norms for that person's own community and generation, never generic pattern-matching.

4
Your data is always yours.

Access, correct, or permanently delete what you've submitted and what we've produced, at any time, without needing to give a reason.

5
We say when we're not sure.

Where the evidence behind something is thin, the record says so or leaves it out. We don't manufacture certainty to make a narrative land better.

6
A person reviews every biography before delivery.

No output goes from questionnaire to family with no one accountable for it in between.

7
You don't have to take our method on faith.

Every commitment above can be checked against the finished biography and its citations — not against access to our internal process.
