The questions serious buyers ask
Which AI coding tools does it work with?
Any tool that reads the instruction-file conventions — Claude Code (CLAUDE.md), the AGENTS.md convention, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf and Devin all get their own emitted file — and any MCP client can connect to the live endpoint. Both channels carry the same compiled document, so mixing tools across a team does not fork your context.
Do I have to give you our AI API keys?
No. The core product calls no model — compilation is deterministic SQL. Your agents run on your own accounts, on your side of the connection. Platform-side AI features, as they ship, run on operator-managed credentials so a lapsed key of yours can never dark your context layer.
Where does our context actually live?
In your own tenant application's Postgres database — plain relational tables you can query. The SaaS layer that bills you holds subscriptions and plans, never your context, and our own build fails if a context-shaped table appears in it. Delete our platform and your application keeps working with its memory intact.
Is this RAG with extra steps?
It is the opposite. RAG retrieves what looks similar to your prompt; Cratonis compiles what your team decided matters, in the order they ranked it, the same way every time. No embeddings, no vector database, no retrieval variance — that determinism is the patent-pending core.
What happens when your endpoint is unreachable?
Agents keep working from the emitted files in your repository — the second delivery channel exists exactly for that. Each file carries the compilation's digest, so when the endpoint returns, an agent can tell a stale file from a current one by comparing hashes rather than guessing.
Can an agent rewrite our history or fake a decision?
No. The write-back tool forces authorship to ai and scope to shared — those are not parameters an agent can set. File writes pass seven ordered gates, land in staging with an append-only ledger entry, and wait for a human to promote them.
How is team access controlled?
Role-based access from super-admin down to read-only, with per-user denial overrides that beat any granting role. Every agent session is server-issued and budgeted, and the prompt ledger records what each one did.
What does the trial include?
A real, isolated tenant — your own application and database, not a shared sandbox — on the Trial plan's quotas. Idle trials scale to near zero, which is why the trial needs no card.
