§ 01 — The problem

The manual is 400 pages. The appeal only quotes one.

Staff paraphrase policy from memory, and decisions get overturned on the section nobody found. Government manuals are dense, cross-referenced, and change without notice.

policyratio returns the exact governing passage — so the answer is the same every time, and it holds up when it's questioned.

§ 02 — How it works

Verbatim from source, or a refusal.

No LLM. No generation. Every answer is an exact substring of published policy — or nothing at all.

01

Verbatim & verified

Each quote is checked as an exact substring of a real policy chunk before it's shown. No paraphrase, no invention — a non-match is dropped.

02

Refuses to guess

Below the relevance threshold, the result is "no matching policy — escalate." No hopeful answer, no confident guess.

03

Cross-references surfaced

Pulls the "also check §X" sections a hit depends on. Nothing is decided from one section alone.

04

Reproducible & defensible

Every answer carries its section ID and a quote hash — the citation you'd defend in an appeal or FOIP request, not a paraphrase you'd walk back.

§ 03 — Why you can trust it

The corpus is the published record — kept honest.

Source

Official manuals only

Every passage is ingested from the government's own published policy manual — quoted, never rewritten, with a link back to the source page.

Currency

Tracks amendments

Coverage is re-ingested section by section as policy changes. What's live has been verified; what hasn't stays dark rather than stale.

Accuracy

Exact-substring guarantee

A quote only reaches you if it matches the source verbatim. Anything that doesn't is dropped by construction — the engine can't paraphrase.

§ 04 — Security & privacy

Questions about policy, not people.

You ask about the rule, never a named client — nothing sensitive to store. Deterministic by design: no LLM, no generation, no hallucination. Built to Canadian public-sector privacy law from the schema up.

§ 05 — Coverage

Loaded by jurisdiction × sector.

Each cell is ingested and verified before it goes live. A question in an empty cell returns nothing — not a guess.

§ 06 — Questions

What a procurement review asks.

Is this official policy?+
Yes. Every passage is quoted verbatim from the government's own published policy manual, with a link back to the source page. policyratio retrieves and cites — it never rewrites.
Is it an LLM? Can it hallucinate?+
No. The engine is deterministic — keyword ranking with exact-substring verification. A quote that doesn't match the source is dropped. There is no text generation, so there is nothing to hallucinate.
Where is data hosted, and what about PII?+
Canadian data residency (ca-central-1). Queries are PII-free by construction — no names, SIN, DOB, or client files are entered or stored. Logs keep questions, section IDs, and quote hashes only.
Who is liable for a decision?+
The staff member. policyratio provides cited policy and eligibility checks — decision support, not the official determination. It returns the governing rule and how the stated facts line up against it; the determination — and the accountability — stays with you.
How current is the policy?+
Coverage is re-ingested section by section as the manual changes. What's live has been verified; what hasn't stays dark rather than showing stale text.
What's live today?+
Alberta › Income Support — the Income and Employment Supports policy manual. Other provinces, territories, and sectors are added cell by cell. See the coverage map.
