Intellectual Property & Data Asset Strategy
Our platform is built on a "proprietary by process" framework. This document outlines our unique approach to AI safety, intellectual property, and how our partners build valuable, long-term data assets.
The Problem: AI Risk & IP Ambiguity
Generative AI tools present two major risks for institutions: 1) "Hallucination," where the AI generates incorrect information, and 2) Intellectual Property ambiguity, where it's unclear who owns the output. This creates significant legal and reputational risk, preventing widespread adoption.
Our Solution: A "Proprietary by Process" Framework
Our platform is built on a clear and deliberate philosophy that distinguishes between "Artificial Intelligence" (the application) and "Machine Learning" (the tool). This isn't just a technical detail; it's the foundation of our business and legal model.
The AI is the Partner
The AI is the application layer that understands user intent. It orchestrates the process and structures the output to achieve a specific pedagogical goal.
The ML is the Tool
The Machine Learning (ML) models are the powerful engines we use to perform specific tasks: parsing text, identifying patterns, and generating new content.
The Critical Constraint: No Resources, No Thinking
A crucial part of our methodology is the principle that our engine requires curated resources to function. The ML model is not an oracle that "knows" things; it is a processor that "reads" things.
- If it is not provided with a candidate's resume and a job description, it cannot generate interview questions.
- If it is not provided with a corpus of case law, it cannot find citations.
- If it is not provided with a textbook chapter, it cannot create a worksheet.
The thinking cannot happen without the resource. This makes the AI safe and predictable. It cannot "hallucinate" facts because it is not permitted to access outside knowledge; it can only transform the information it is given.
The Result: A Legally Defensible & Value-Accretive Model
This "Proprietary by Process" model creates a robust legal framework. By requiring a partner to provide the source material, the legal responsibility for content rights remains with them. Our platform acts as a powerful transformation tool, not a content originator.
More importantly, this establishes a clear framework for co-creation and asset ownership. Every client is building their own proprietary data asset:
- The Partner's Contribution: The partner provides the curated, expert knowledge and context. This is their unique IP.
- The AI's Contribution: The AI partner applies its unique ability to structure information and generate interactive learning experiences at scale.
- The Combined Asset: The resulting learning data—the patterns of how users interact with the partner's unique content—becomes a new, valuable, and proprietary data set owned by the partner.
We are not building a system that replaces human expertise; we are building a tool that amplifies it, turning a static content library into an appreciating data asset.
