The Signal87 Mission & Core Values

Founded by Michael Benezra and Michael Chavira, Signal87 was built on a single uncompromising thesis: enterprise research AI must be completely verifiable, citation-backed, and immune to memory loss.

Verifiable Grounding

Every insight, summary, and comparison links directly to verbatim source clauses with page and line citations.

Zero Data Compromise

Enterprise documents remain securely within isolated, client-owned vaults protected by industry-standard security practices.

Persistent Memory

Research threads, notes, and vector indices synchronize in real-time across teams via Firebase Firestore.
