Source-backed knowledge layerTechnology

CASOT helps CivicShield keep answers connected to sources, context, and review.

CASOT is the CivicShield AI Source of Truth: the governed knowledge layer that organizes authoritative sources, source history, geography, explanations, limitations, and review context.

Plain English

CASOT is the governed source layer behind CivicShield's public explanations. It is not the chatbot and it is not a legal authority.

What it organizes

CASOT organizes authoritative legal sources, GIS context, source history, effective dates, provenance, confidence, explanations, limitations, and validation status into a reusable intelligence layer.

Why it matters

It helps CivicShield answer responsibly with source visibility, limitations, and ReviewRequired controls when certainty would be unsafe.
