Approved sources
An AI Twin answers from material its owner has approved. Approval is explicit and reversible: a source can be added, replaced or withdrawn, and withdrawn material is no longer used in answers.

Question
What does your method require before a review begins?
Answer · within scope
Decision rights are agreed before any evidence is gathered. Reviews stall when participants agree on findings but not on who acts on them.

An AI Twin answers from material its owner has approved. Approval is explicit and reversible: a source can be added, replaced or withdrawn, and withdrawn material is no longer used in answers.
Answers reference the source that supports them, so a reader can judge the answer against the material rather than against the confidence of the wording. Provenance is part of the answer, not an optional detail.
Each Twin is created for a stated field of knowledge and purpose. Scope is written down. Questions outside it are treated as outside it, rather than answered from loosely related material.
When the approved material does not support an answer, the Twin should say so. Ambiguous questions can be met with a clarifying question. A refusal is a correct outcome, not a failure.
The owner decides what the Twin may use, what it may address and who it is intended to help. Those decisions can be changed at any time.
AI Twin produces answers generated by AI. Important decisions should still be verified against the cited sources or with the expert directly.
An AI Twin is clearly identified as AI in the interfaces where it answers. It does not present itself as the person it represents, and it is not a substitute for that person’s direct judgment.
If an answer misstates a source, cites the wrong material or steps outside the stated scope, report it. Include the question asked, the answer received and the citation shown. Reports go to the Twin’s owner, who can correct the source set, adjust the scope or withdraw material.
