Models that turn documents and questions into results you can check.
First principles
Much business data sits in two awkward places: documents that have lost their structure, and databases that need a query language before they answer anything.
A model can bridge both, but what it returns is a guess with nothing attached to prove it. So the useful design does the deterministic part with ordinary code, calls a model only where code cannot decide, and shows its work so a person can check the result.
terbium rebuilds the tables in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file from the position of every word and sends only the unsure ones to a model. Querion only reads, and shows the Structured Query Language (SQL) behind every answer.
