How it works

Cairn routes your question through a query planner that decides what structured filters and semantic searches to run, executes them in parallel against the corpus, then synthesizes a cited answer. The planner runs in milliseconds; the answer streams as it forms.

What gets cited

Anything in the corpus: regulatory text, agency interpretations, enforcement records, accident narratives, and adjacent safety research. If a question can't be grounded in a primary source, the answer says so. Cairn refuses to fabricate.

NAICS-aware context

Set your industry once. Queries inherit NAICS context so answers prioritize the standards, citations, and benchmarks that apply to your operations.
