How this demo works

Every answer in this demo is a hand-written simulation of what an AI assistant might say. Coding, measures and suggestions come from Sablebourne's published rules. No AI model is called.

Each question is asked five times per run, because real assistants answer differently each time. Every rate is shown with its range.

Rules: Sablebourne visibility rules v2.0. Suggestions change nothing until a named person accepts them.
