> Generating a document with AI is easy to demonstrate and hard to sign, and the whole difference sits in knowing where the text came from. Here the design is different: the new document is assembled from the body of knowledge your company has already produced, every passage points to its own origin, and the final decision stays with whoever knows the material.

<h2 id="your-material">From your material, not from nothing</h2>

<h3 class="sub">What already lives in your vault is the raw material, not an example the model consulted</h3>

Ask for a deck, a section, a summary. The design is for the assembly to start from what is
already in your vault, the presentations, analyses and translations your company has produced,
and not from a generic model's idea of your business. The content is yours, distilled: your
numbers, your terminology, your voice.

The word co-creation is not decoration, and it names a division of labor. You bring the material
and the judgment. The machine brings the assembly and the
<dfn tabindex="0" data-hint="Where each passage of the new document came from: the presentation, the section, the sheet in your vault that backs it. Without it, an assembled document is indistinguishable from an invented one.">provenance</dfn>,
which is the address of where each passage came from. Remove either half and the product changes:
without your material, it is generic generation; without the origin of each passage, it is
plausible text you have no way to check before you put your name on it.

What your vault keeps for each document, and why it can be raw material instead of a folder of
files, is in [your documents](documents).

<h2 id="no-invention">What is not there does not appear</h2>

<h3 class="sub">The blank space where an answer would fit is honest information too</h3>

What is not in your body of knowledge does not go in: no invented number, no confident fiction.
The blank space where an answer should be is information, and it is what makes every passage
auditable before you take ownership of the document. You see where each statement came from, or
you see that it came from nowhere and was left out for that reason.

This is the same property that makes the agent refuse a question whose answer is not in your
material, and it is not a behavior instruction asked of the model. The assembly starts from what
the engine recorded, and the record either holds the information or it does not. Why the
arrangement works this way, and not as a promise of good behavior, is in
[the conversation is with the AI](docs-by-spec).

<h2 id="who-signs">Whoever signs is whoever decided</h2>

<h3 class="sub">Review is the design, not a caveat pasted at the bottom of the page</h3>

The assembly starts from a model that already exists and fills the editable fields with what you
supplied or with what was written from what you asked for. Whoever knows the material reviews it
before the document goes out to a client.

It is worth being direct about why this is not a caveat. A caveat is what gets added when the
guarantee falls short; here the person in the loop is the guarantee. The document carries the
signature of whoever reviewed it, not the model's, and that is why the page does not promise a
finished document: it promises a draft whose origin you can check passage by passage. Material
that arrives finished and without origin costs more to check than to redo, and that is the
arithmetic most demonstrations do not show.

<div class="ico-col"><sz-icon style="color:var(--verb-create)" name="rotate" size="36"></sz-icon></div>

<h2 id="where-it-stands">Where this stands today</h2>

<h3 class="sub">Direction declared, measured, and with no verb in the present tense</h3>

This is the least mature operation in the set, and the page says so before you find out. The step
that writes a new document exists in the engine and is the only creative step in the design, but
no execution of it is recorded in this environment's history. That is why the page carries no
performance number and no verb of its own in the present tense for the capability.

The house rule is the same one that governs the roadmap: translate and compare sell as ready,
create sells as maturing. The day there is a measured execution, it enters here with the date, and
not before. The two surfaces through which co-creation should reach you, when it does, are the
screen in [web editor](web-editor) and the conversation in [agentic editor](agentic-editor).

<div class="bound"><p><b>The state, said in full and before you ask.</b> Measured on 2026-09-02, in the development environment and not in production, which is the only boundary this sentence can claim. The write-execution log is empty across all four formats, and the write step does not appear in the history of steps executed in this environment. The engine exists, the log is empty, and the two together are the state.</p>
<p><b>And why the page carries no number.</b> Publishing a measurement here that does not exist would contradict the one argument that holds up every other page, which is that our measurements reproduce. A capability enters this house when it has a written decision, a measurement, and someone outside able to repeat the measurement. This one has the first of the three.</p></div>

What co-creation assembles returns to being material in your vault, and everything done or still
to do stays on record: it is the fifth, [trust](trust).
