The publisher owns the content, the profile and the frontend.
Konneal builds the databases and serves the API.
About Konneal
Standards are authored in Metanorma, modelled in Primmel, and served by Konneal. Konneal runs annealment passes over a corpus the organization has already authored, and turns it into a question-answering service whose every answer carries its own evidence — and whose rules are executed, with the arithmetic shown.
Where the name comes from
01
K-onneal — knowledge annealment
The method itself: repeated passes that add verified structure to a corpus, each pass leaving a record. The full definition is onthe annealment page.
02
Anneal — the metallurgy
Heat treatment that hardens metal into a durable structure: soft becomes durable, prose becomes computable.
03
Konne(ction) — the joins
The organization connects to its members, questions connect to clauses, answers connect to the original document.
konneal
The mark is the suite in miniature: three layered sheared slabs — structure being added to structure, each layer locked to the same shear. Authored, modelled, served.
From a live service to a product
Konneal was born from a live public service. The engine began as the serving layer of a deployed, publicly testable question-answering service over a real standards corpus, and was extracted into this publisher-agnostic product with its history preserved — the same retrieval, the same answer contract, the same verdict engine, and the same gates.
The method was not designed on a whiteboard; it was measured into existence. The annealment ladder and its staircase are the recorded result of grading the same questions over successively richer representations of the same corpus.
Konneal is developed byRibose Inc., alongside the rest of the suite.
How we work
Every release is measured.
A golden question set with expected citations runs three times before any change is promoted.
The models are open-weight.
No corpus data is sent to third-party services, and no part of the system depends on a proprietary model provider.
Citations open the original document.
Every answer names the publication, edition and clause behind it, and the citation opens the original document at that clause.
