§ 01

Ask Zekal, wherever you are.

A side panel on every page. It knows which record you’re looking at, so “is this file complete?” means this file.

Opens on the record you’re viewing
Every sentence that states a fact has a source
Shows the tier and the credits each answer used
Threads are saved per workspace and can be re-opened
LISTING · L-0418 · 18 LARCH AVE
Ask Zekal Is this file complete? One item missing: the seller identification record 1. Everything else is accepted. [1] Listing file checklist · Your vault Answer used 20 credits · 1 source · Your private vault
§ 02

Three places to look, in order. It tells you which.

TIER 1 Your private vault Your documents and your rules. Every query is scoped to your tenant; nothing in it is used for anyone else. LABEL: YOUR VAULT
TIER 2 Curated industry sources A source pack for your trade — statutes, regulator guidance and standard forms, selected and maintained by Zekal and quoted with the section. LABEL: CURATED
TIER 3 The web Only when the first two can’t answer. Shown with the page and the date it was retrieved. LABEL: WEB

Every answer shows the tier it came from and the credits it used.

THREADSConversations are saved per workspace and can be re-opened.

No source, no claim: if nothing supports an answer, Zekal says it doesn’t know. On the legal pack, the Brain doesn’t answer at all — it searches the matter vault.

§ 03

The model never does math in prose.

Commissions, deposits, deadlines, securities balances: anything numeric comes from a deterministic tool that reads your ledger and rules. The AI decides which tool to call and explains the result. It doesn’t invent the number.

// sample trace · fictional data
ask “What is Maya’s share on 18 Larch Ave?”
tool ledger.commission(deal: "D-1042", agent: "maya-okafor")
gross 24,000.00 · plan cap 80/20 · cap remaining 4,800.00
brokerage 4,800.00 · agent 19,200.00 · lines LE-2291..2293
answer $19,200.00. The brokerage share stopped at her remaining cap of $4,800.00 [ledger LE-2292].
numbers in the answer = numbers from the tool, verbatim
§ 04

Credits, metered in the open.

A credit counter sits in the sidebar of every workspace. Under each answer, Zekal shows what it cost and where it looked.
