Chapter and Verse: a pay-law assistant that cites its source
Ask a language model about overtime pay and it answers fluently, cites a section, and sometimes the section says something else. Chapter and Verse is a labour-pay assistant that answers only what it can trace to a source, and shows the gap when it cannot.
One claim, one provision. Every statement in an answer names the single provision it rests on.
A separate verifier sees only that provision and the claim, nothing else, and has to agree.
Quotes are matched in code against the source text; an altered quotation is never shown as a quotation.
Gaps are answers too. Anything it cannot prove is shown as a gap rather than filled in.
