Friday almost lied to the board.

Chat invents. Almost refuses. The pack is the receipt.

Can we tell the board that two design partners signed the model-call pilot?

Bound claim ships.
Gap stays named.
No invented sentence.

Live gate

Friday board update. One claim binds. One claim refuses.

People almost send deadline answers that are not in their sources. Chat will draft the sentence anyway. Almost fails closed.

The answer ships only what is bound. The gap stays named.

Typical chat draft

“No partner has raised concerns. Safe for the board.”

Same ask · invents beyond the excerpt · not a live model call
Almost

GAP stamped. That sentence never enters the pack.

Fail-closed · server-checked substring

How it works

Ask → Gate → BOUND or GAP → Pack. Spans pin the quote at bind time.

  1. AskFriday line about to leave
  2. GateQuote must live in excerpt
  3. Span pinOffsets + hash at bind
  4. PackOnly BOUND ships

Before send vs after

Cite-after tools grade research after generation. Almost checks the Friday send before it leaves.

RAG

Retrieves. Still invents between chunks.

Fact-checkers

Grade prose after it left the building.

Cite-after

Verify research citations after the fact. Wrong job for Friday outbound.

Almost

Fail-closed bind before send. Lexical support. Named gaps. Span pins. Portable pack.

Proof

Take the pack with you. Paste it later and we check the claims against the sources again.

BOUND ships. GAP stays named. Not a trust badge.
