Every explainer on Main AI is written in plain English, sourced to primary law where a specific figure is stated, and checked by an automated fabrication guard before it publishes. This page explains exactly how that works — and what our content is and isn't.
Main AI helps people understand documents and general legal rights. Because that content can affect real financial and legal decisions, we hold it to a standard higher than a typical blog: claims are sourced, state-specific figures must cite the governing statute, and pages are reviewed on a regular cycle. Here is our process, in the open.
Our explainers rely on primary and authoritative sources: the text of federal and state statutes, federal agencies (for example the IRS for tax notices, the CFPB for debt collection, and CMS/HHS for the No Surprises Act), and official court and regulatory guidance. We prefer the primary source over secondary summaries, and we link to it where a reader would benefit from reading the law directly.
State law varies, and a wrong number in a legal context can cause real harm. So our build runs an automated citation gate over the state-law library: a page may state a legal figure — a deadline in days, a limit in years, a percentage, or a dollar amount — only if that page also carries a primary-source citation. If a figure appears without a citation, the build fails and the page does not ship. We would rather tell you "read the statute your state prints on the notice" than print a number we can't stand behind.
Laws and thresholds change. We review our legal and financial explainers on a recurring cycle and after significant legal developments, and each page carries the date it was last reviewed. When a rule changes, we update the page and its citation rather than leaving stale guidance in place.
Main AI provides general legal and financial information to help you understand your own documents. It is not a law firm, it does not provide legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney–client or other professional relationship. General information has exceptions and changes over time. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.
