What we don't do

The guardrails make the tool.

No buy/sell language

A 3-layer guardrail (regex → schema → second-model review) blocks investment advice before it ships.

Sources on every output

Every AI answer cites the data it used. Filings, prices, and timestamps are always visible.

Real public filings

Investor trades come from SEC EDGAR and House/Senate disclosures — not pundits.

Educational, never personal

TrustFirst gives no investment advice. The platform exists to help you understand, not to tell you what to do.
