Disclosure at collection. A business must inform consumers, at or before the point of collection, of the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for use.

Civys turns legal and policy text into an audit-ready Brief. Every obligation classified, every claim cited to its section, every gap stated plainly. It is built to say “no conclusion available” rather than guess.

Opt-out of sale. If a consumer directs a business that sells personal information not to sell it, the business must comply.
How quickly must a business respond to a deletion request?
Reason: the text is silent. It sets no response deadline, so Civys declines to infer one.
An instrument of record. Ink on warm paper. Built to defend its work.

Inside every Brief
One artifact. Four kinds of certainty.
A Brief is a structured record, not a chat reply. It separates what the text requires from what it merely permits, who it touches, and, deliberately, what it never resolves.
Obligation classification
Every requirement sorted as mandatory, discretionary, or conditional, driven by the text's own signal words, with a confidence level on each.
MandatoryDiscretionaryConditional
Source traceability
Each claim carries a tag and section citation, so a reviewer can check it against the original text in seconds, not paragraphs.

Scope & applicability
A clear map of who is covered, who is explicitly excluded, and which areas the text leaves silent, each cited to its source.

Uncertainty register
Undefined terms, flexible language, and questions the text cannot answer, listed, not hidden. The section that prevents false confidence.

§02
The method
Defined as much by what it refuses to do.
Most tools optimize for a fluent answer. Civys optimizes for a defensible one, which sometimes means declining to answer at all.
Summaries smooth over ambiguity. A Brief discloses it, flagging every place the text is unclear instead of papering over it.
Chat implies fluency over correctness. A Brief is an immutable record with an ID, a status, and an audit trail, a system of record, not a conversation.
Civys interprets the specific text in front of it and cites its work. It surfaces risk for a human to weigh, it does not recommend, and it does not decide.
