Your work stays yours. We hold embeddings — title, summary, vectors — never the body. Every citation is a live fetch from your own site. Never stored, never trained on. Revocable any time.
A thread.
Search compresses good writing. AI rewrites it. Masthead cites it.
The premise · a concierge for readers, drawing from a curated archive of independent publishers. A composed dossier in three voices — body, pull, pencil. Every citation attributed.
