AI WHERE IT EARNS ITS PLACE
Make complex information easier to find and use.
SITEBORNE Intelligence adds cited search, retrieval, classification, and workflow assistance without making the website dependent on AI.
OUTCOME
What changes for the client.
A controlled knowledge layer that helps people find approved answers, preserves source evidence, and falls back to conventional paths when inference fails.
When this is appropriate
Appropriate when approved knowledge is difficult to navigate, visitors ask repetitive questions, or staff repeatedly reorganize the same information.
Architecture Lens
A controlled knowledge layer that helps people find approved answers, preserves source evidence, and falls back to conventional paths when inference fails.
Components: Provider-neutral Model Gateway, Semantic Index and keyword fallback, Source restrictions and citations, Evaluation datasets and refusal behavior, Usage caps, kill switches, and public failure states, Human review for generated output. Security boundary, monitoring, fallback, and migration are documented before launch.
THE SYSTEM
- Provider-neutral Model Gateway
- Semantic Index and keyword fallback
- Source restrictions and citations
- Evaluation datasets and refusal behavior
- Usage caps, kill switches, and public failure states
- Human review for generated output
THE PROOF
- Prompt-injection and source-boundary tests
- Missing-key and provider-timeout tests
- Citation rendering and unsupported-answer refusal
- Deterministic eligibility and pricing rules
- Client-visible usage states
View implementation proof
Decision rationale
The implementation favors semantic HTML, static rendering, typed content, and isolated on-demand routes. Optional AI never controls pricing, eligibility, or emergency routing.
Controls
- WCAG 2.2 AA target
- Provider-neutral adapters
- Usage caps and kill switches
- Client-owned production accounts
- Conventional fallbacks
Verified evidence
- Prompt-injection and source-boundary tests
- Missing-key and provider-timeout tests
- Citation rendering and unsupported-answer refusal
- Deterministic eligibility and pricing rules
- Client-visible usage states
Known limitation
External provider allowances and production behavior require owner accounts and deployment-time verification.
Ownership map
Know who owns what before launch.
SITEBORNE owns
The working methods, reusable internal tooling, and clearly disclosed pre-existing intellectual property.
The client owns
Accounts, domains, production data, approved source content, billing, recovery credentials, and the delivered project assets defined by contract.
The provider owns
Its platform, pricing, service limits, and terms. Every provider has a documented fallback and migration path.
After launch: the system can be maintained through SITEBORNE Care or transferred using the documented operating and migration procedures.
