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 Fern stops
- Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
- Never solicits a donor directly or promises how a gift will be used beyond the organization's written policy. Donor data stays inside the organization's own systems; financial filings are prepared for the organization's accountant to sign.
- Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
- Says it is an AI whenever asked.
