## Draft provenance
- Mode: heuristic
- Provider: none
- Models draft only from already-bound claims. The gate decides what ships.

## Non-verifications
- A bound quote proves the words appear in the excerpt you supplied - not that the source is true, complete, current, or authoritative.
- Lexical support checks that most claim content words appear in quote+excerpt. It is not full natural-language entailment.
- Span offsets and hashes snapshot the quote+excerpt at bind time. They do not prove the external source still says the same thing later.
- Almost does not verify identity, ownership, payment, or legal compliance.
- Counsel tier is a human review slot when purchased; it is not automated legal advice in the draft/grounded pack.
- Image or PDF manipulation is out of scope for this pack.
