Policy answers that show their work.
Policy Lens lets anyone ask a policy or regulation question in plain language and get an answer that quotes the exact reviewed passage — with the section number and a citation — or honestly says the evidence isn't there. It's the public face of the ASL Knowledge Agent: grounded retrieval, real citations, and an engine that would rather abstain than make something up.
The problem
Regulations are searchable but not answerable.
The rules that govern a profession are public — but buried in hundreds of pages of PDFs. General chatbots will happily "answer" a regulatory question by inventing a plausible-sounding rule, which is exactly the wrong tool when the answer has real consequences.
Policy Lens only answers from reviewed source material, quotes it back with a citation you can check, and abstains when the corpus doesn't support an answer.
Grounded in real corpora
- Reviewed passages with section numbers
- Page-level citations back to the source PDF
- Source integrity verified by SHA-256
- Abstains rather than inventing a rule
Capabilities
Plain-language questions, source-backed answers.
Plain-language questions
Ask the way you'd ask a colleague — no need to know section numbers or legal phrasing.
Cited answers
Each answer quotes the reviewed passage with its section number and a citation you can verify yourself.
Honest abstention
When the corpus doesn't support an answer, it says so — rather than filling the gap with a guess.
Source integrity
Every source PDF is fingerprinted with SHA-256, so the passage you're reading is provably the one that was reviewed.
Bilingual
Full EN/ES support with accent-normalized inference — answers in the language you asked in.
Conflict-aware
When sources disagree, it surfaces the conflict instead of pretending there's one clean answer.
Powers other products
The same engine grounds the SOMB regulatory search inside Colorado Complaint Access.
