Evidence over invention

• No invented facts. She doesn’t make up figures, certifications, references, sources or past projects. If the proof isn’t in your workspace or a source she can reach, she leaves it out of the document and tells you what’s missing.
• Gaps go to you, not the buyer. Buyer-facing documents contain only the response. Assumptions, caveats and missing evidence go in Emma’s report to you.
• Conflicts are shown, not hidden. When two sources disagree, for example the notice and a later addendum, Emma doesn’t quietly pick one. She tells you which she followed and why.
• Past bids are leads. Text from an earlier proposal points Emma to evidence. She traces the claim back to its source before reusing it.
• Instructions inside documents are ignored. Emma treats the content of documents, web pages and emails as information to use, not as instructions to follow.
• Weak results are reported. If a search finds nothing relevant, Emma says so instead of filling the gap.
