How Janus.Guru builds a verifiable answer

Janus does not look for a ready-made answer on the open internet. It works inside a selected collection: retrieve evidence, assemble a response, and show the basis. When the basis is insufficient, a bounded answer is better than a confident guess.

The path

Five controls between a question and a response

1

Ingest and describe

Every source needs an owner, date, language, URL, status, and an explicit use boundary.

2

Split into evidence units

Fragments preserve enough context to be useful without turning every page into one opaque block.

3

Retrieve and rerank

Exact and lexical matching retrieve candidates first. Semantic search is enabled only after full embedding coverage and a separate benchmark. Reranking selects from retrieved candidates; it does not replace search.

4

Generate with guardrails

The assistant is told which language, format, source policy, and refusal boundary apply.

5

Review the result

Sources, date, edition, and responsibility stay visible for the person who will use the answer.
