Problem Identification

Why policy awareness breaks down.

Written manuals are essential for governance, but they are often difficult for employees to navigate during day-to-day operations.

Ambiguous Language

Dense legal and technical terminology leads to varied and often incorrect internal interpretations.

The Manual Barrier

Employees rarely read 100-page policy PDFs in full, opting instead for convenience-based guesses.

Stale Documentation

Policy updates often fail to propagate through the organization, leaving employees following outdated rules.

Informal Advice Risks

When employees can't find answers, they ask peers, leading to 'tribal knowledge' that may contradict official text.

Knowledge Silos

Policy expertise is often concentrated in a few individuals, creating operational bottlenecks and burnout.

Inconsistent Guidance

Managers in different departments may provide conflicting advice on the same organizational policy.

Defined Operational Scope

Wikora serves as an explanation layer for your written content.

Purpose
  • Explains verified policy content in natural language.
  • Provides exact citations to approved sources.
  • Identifies gaps where policies are silent.
  • Ensures answers are grounded only in your text.
Non-Scope
  • Does not provide legal or financial advice.
  • Does not override official approval workflows.
  • Does not make compliance decisions.
  • Does not invent rules or infer policy intent.

Regulatory Notice

Wikora is a tool for information retrieval and policy explanation. It is not a substitute for professional legal counsel or a formal compliance audit system. Users should always refer to the authoritative cited documents for final verification.

Workflow

A restrained approach to policy lookup.

We prioritize accuracy and traceability over conversational flair.

1

Approved Sources Only

Import only the documents that have been signed off by Legal, Risk, or HR. Wikora strictly limits its knowledge base to these files.

2

Structured Interpretation

Wikora maps the semantic meaning of your policies, allowing it to understand context while remaining tethered to the literal text.

3

Grounded Response Generation

When an employee asks a question, Wikora synthesizes an answer using only the content within the scoped documents.

4

Citation-First Output

Every answer includes a direct link to the specific section of the authoritative policy for immediate verification.

Controlled Scope

Wikora's retrieval-augmented architecture prevents the model from drawing on external training data to answer policy questions. This "closed-loop" system ensures that your organization's specific rules are the only ones explained.

The Trust Layer

Citations are non-negotiable.

In a governance context, an answer without a source is just a liability.

Authoritative Root

Every answer must be traceable to the approved document. We maintain the policy as the single source of truth.

Reduced Liability

By pointing to the literal text, we reduce the risk of AI 'creative interpretation' that could lead to non-compliance.

Audit Verifiability

Maintain a continuous audit trail showing exactly which version of a policy was used to answer a query.

Transformation

From static PDFs to answerable policy.

Policies shouldn't be buried in folders. Wikora turns your compliance documentation into a dynamic knowledge layer that is accessible when and where employees need it.

  • No more manual CTRL+F through 100-page manuals
  • Immediate clarity on nuanced policy requirements
  • Version-synced lookups—always the latest approved text
