Product AI layer

Widget + hard analysis as one system

On every Crater.world page, AI first helps shape a prompt, then turns the result into a verification workflow: claims, evidence, counterfactuals, no-go criteria, and a final status.

Open system example

Prompt cards

Thematic presets, free question input, and Copy / Run modes.

Hard analysis

The first AI slice is not treated as a decision. It is decomposed into claims, assumptions, evidence-needed, and no-go triggers.

Verdict gate

Every output is resolved as GO, GO ONLY IF, PAUSE FOR VERIFICATION, or NO-GO.
