GROUND
Your documents are the source of truth.
Reads your entire technical archive
TDS, SDS, contracts, order history — any document set, kept in one queryable system.
Claims link to passages
Every claim in an answer is linked to the exact document and page it came from.
Absence is stated, not papered over
No source in your documents? The answer says so, plainly.
The Data Sources workspace — document names anonymized.
VERIFY
The web is evidence, not gospel.
Identity-anchored company facts
The domain proves who's who — a distributor never masquerades as a manufacturer.
Authority-ranked regulatory claims
An official register outranks a vendor PDF, and both outrank a blog.
Conflicts are surfaced
When sources disagree, you see the disagreement — nothing is silently merged.
GUARD
If it can't be traced, it doesn't ship.
Deterministic certainty checks
Unproven certainty stamps are stripped before you ever see them.
Inferences carry labels
Anything reasoned rather than sourced is visually marked as an inference — every time.
A human signs off
Your expert approves the output. The system shows its work, so review takes minutes.
One engine, four lenses.
Point the engine at a workflow and it becomes that workflow's intelligence — same grounding, same guards, different question.
.sourcing
Sourcing Intelligence
Who really makes it — and who just resells it.
Identity-anchored supplier discovery: the domain proves who's who.
Equivalent-grade and alternative-material analysis from your own specs.
Exhibitor and manufacturer verification before you get on a plane.
.sales
Sales Intelligence
Every account, with its next question answered.
Customer profiles fused from your sales history and verified public sources.
Cross-sell and churn signals grounded in what actually shipped.
Technical replies drafted with page-level sources — ready to send.
.planning
Planning Intelligence
Order what, from whom, by when — reasoning shown.
Net requirements and capacity bottlenecks computed from BOM, stock and supplier data.
Every number traceable back to the sheet it came from.
Scenario comparisons that show their assumptions, not just their totals.
.compliance
Compliance Intelligence
Regulatory exposure, substance by substance.
REACH / KKDIK screening anchored to CAS identity, not name similarity.
Sources are authority-ranked: official registers outrank vendor documents.
When no source exists, the answer says so — plainly.
Experts retire.
The memory doesn't.
Lycea isn't a search box over static files — it's an institutional memory that grows richer with use.
Answers become assets
Every approved answer is retained with its sources — reusable, auditable, and ready for the next person who asks.
Context accumulates
Terminology, product relationships and version history build up per corpus — retrieval gets sharper as the archive grows.
Month twelve beats month one
The longer your team uses it, the richer the ground truth it reasons over — knowledge that stays when people move on.
Corporate Memory — illustrative data.
See it on your own documents.
Bring one spec sheet, one regulation question, one supplier list.
