Verification is infrastructure.

Laura is a verification layer for organizations, businesses, and institutions navigating AI. Built by Canadians, in the public interest.

THE PROBLEM

AI rewrote how information moves. Verification stayed the same.

Architectural

Built to answer. Not to check.

AI agents retrieve, summarise, respond. Accuracy was never built into the pipeline.

Structural

They check their own work.

Big platforms are building verification in-house. A conflict of interest packaged as a feature.

Geographic

Canada’s on its own.

No foreign tech company will prioritise Canadian public-interest data. Someone has to.

Operational

In your workflow. Unchecked.

AI is already inside your organisation. Without verification, misinformation gets buried deeper.

THE TEAM

“We’ve spent our careers in fields where getting verification and trust right matters, and get it wrong it has consequences.”

Engineers, researchers, leaders in responsible innovation and digital trust and newsroom leaders. Military veterans who’ve fought disinformation on the front lines. Experts who’ve helped defend democracies under coordinated information attack.

Backing

Backed by Canadian institutions, foundations, and citizens.

Verification gets stronger when more institutions connect.

If your work depends on information that holds up under scrutiny, or you're building AI that needs a trusted source, we want to talk.
