Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Aksel stops

  • Never gives tax, legal or investment advice. Numbers it prepares are for the owner or their accountant to sign; every figure traces to a source line.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
