ProofShelf

ProofShelf is a web app (with a lightweight browser extension) for teams who are tired of internal “wiki truth” that drifts from reality. It turns policies, procedures, and FAQs into claim-based knowledge: every statement must have a source, an owner, and an expiration date. Sources can be links to Google Drive/SharePoint docs, tickets, CRM records, or specific Slack/Teams messages. When a source changes, ProofShelf flags impacted claims and prompts owners to re-verify or retire them. Readers see a confidence badge (verified, stale, disputed) and can request proof with one click. The goal is not to store more notes—it’s to prevent costly mistakes from outdated instructions, compliance drift, and tribal knowledge. It also provides audit-ready trails: who approved a claim, when it was last verified, and what evidence supported it. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI helps extract candidate claims from documents and detect likely contradictions, but humans remain accountable for verification to avoid hallucinations and liability.
