Answers from the loaded documents

Ask Tree Truck.

Clearances, pre-notification, the chainsaw procedure, the vehicle register: asked in plain words. Every answer is composed only from the documents loaded on this page, and every claim carries its source, the page it sits on and the date that document was last read. There are 4 seats, and each reads only what it is allowed to read. A question the documents do not cover is refused, by name.

Sharnell, owner and managerReads everything loaded here: the public standards, and all four sample internal documents including the incident register and the chainsaw procedure.

The tab is the read boundary, not a filter. Ask one seat’s question from another seat and watch it name the document it will not open.

  • The Council contract's commercial terms

    Whanganui District Council arboriculture contract: rates, contract value, term and expiry

    The commercial terms are not published anywhere, so this demo holds nothing about them and will not estimate them.

    Ask about it from any seat and the engine says exactly that, by name, before it searches anything at all. Deciding what not to read, and holding to it in front of you, is the capability on show here.

The published documents are New Zealand legislation, public pages and the supplied Council specification extract. Each is quoted verbatim, carries the date it was read, and links on to its original. The sample documents are invented for this demo. They stand in for the internal material a real deployment would index, so the seats have something real-shaped to read, and nothing in them is a claim about Tree Truck.

What it may read

4

Published law and published council material, loaded on this page and listed in full beside the console, plus four invented sample documents that are marked as invented everywhere they appear.

  • New Zealand legislation, which carries no copyright and is quoted in full: the Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 as it stands after 23 July 2026, and the Telecommunications Act 2001 tree provisions.
  • Published pages, cited to the live URL: the lines company's own tree safety page, the Council's Trees page and its Street Tree Strategy. The Council pages block automated fetching, so they are carried as dated cached extracts and say so on every citation.
  • The Council maintenance specification extract supplied through the client brief, quoted only in the wording that was supplied. It was not harvested, and the passages say so.
  • Four invented sample internal documents, because a read boundary needs something to withhold. Every word in them is invented, no person appears in any of them, and every citation to them says sample.

What it may never read

4

Not restricted by policy, restricted by architecture. No credential to any system exists in this build.

  • Anything inside a Tree Truck system. There is no connection to one and no key that could open one.
  • Anything inside a Council, SimPro, Fergus or Calendly system. The integration adapters are simulated, and the data they return is written here.
  • Records naming a person: an incident about somebody, a complaint from somebody, an employee's training file, a payroll or timesheet record. No personal information reaches this page.
  • Email, files, photographs or messages belonging to anyone at the business or at the Council.

What needs a person

4

The line is drawn at anything that leaves the screen or changes a record.

  • Sending anything. It drafts a reply to a Council complaint; a person reads it and a person sends it.
  • Writing to a system of record: a job, an invoice, a vehicle status, an inspection result, a Council case.
  • Any answer that would become a position of the business, on liability, on cause, or on what work will be done. A cited draft is a starting point, not a decision.
  • Adding a document to what it reads. What is loaded is a deliberate, listed set, and one document is deliberately left out of it.

What it will refuse

4

Refusing is a feature of the engine, not a disclaimer. Press the button and watch it happen.

  • The commercial terms of the Council arboriculture contract: the rates, the value, the term and the expiry. They are not public, and they are excluded by name before retrieval runs.
  • Anything held in a document outside the seat that asked. The refusal names the document it did not open and says who to ask instead.
  • Anything the loaded material does not cover. It says so and names the nearest thing it holds, rather than answering from the closest paragraph.
  • Anything where only one incidental word matched. One shared word is not evidence, and the engine treats it as a miss.

The question below has no answer in any public source. Press it and read what comes back.

It retrieves before it writes

A retriever finds the passages that bear on the question, and the answer is composed only from those passages. Nothing is recalled from general knowledge about trees, power lines or council work.

Every claim carries its receipt

Each footnote opens the document at the right page with the quoted passage marked, and names the date it was read. Standards are quoted verbatim, never paraphrased. You can check a claim in about ten seconds.

It refuses

Ask something the loaded documents do not cover, and it says so and names the nearest document it read instead. The Council contract’s commercial terms are excluded by name, before retrieval runs.

Passages quoted from published standards — the Whanganui District Council tree maintenance specification and New Zealand legislation — remain © their publishers, are quoted verbatim, and are cited to source. Any passage is removed on request.

First Light was built by Brim Consultancy and Emertech as a concept demo of a bespoke morning control centre for Tree Truck. It is connected to no Tree Truck, Whanganui District Council, SimPro, Fergus or Calendly system; every person, record and figure shown is simulated, except quoted published standards, which are cited to source.
