Tools that think as hard as you do.
Rigour is a small studio building AI-powered tools for professionals who cannot afford vague outputs, weak reasoning, or generic advice.
An AI workspace that remembers. Every session saved, every decision archived. Context profiles that make the AI smarter over time. Built for professionals who do deep, continuous work and cannot afford to start from zero every conversation.
Visit arciv.aiAnswer six diagnostic questions about your document. Get a precise rule stack to paste at the end of any AI prompt. Based on the framework from How to Train Your AI by Scott Stewart. Eliminates generic AI outputs for board papers, briefs, and strategy documents.

In developmentIdeas get built when the problem is real and the solution is honest. No vaporware, no roadmap theatre.
Idea stageRigour builds AI tools for people doing serious professional work. Not demos, not experiments — tools that earn their place in a real workflow.
The standard for every product is the same: does it make the work better, faster, or more defensible? If it does not, it does not ship.
Every tool in the Rigour suite is built by someone who has spent years inside large organisations and knows exactly what bad AI output costs when the stakes are real.
Every claim in every output must be traceable to a source, a decision, or an observed fact. No management-journal register.
The best tools get more valuable the more you use them. Memory, context, and history are features, not footnotes.
If the AI cannot name the decision-maker, the constraint, and the consequence of inaction — it has not finished the job.
One tool built well beats five tools built fast. Rigour does not ship until it is ready for someone who cannot afford for it not to work.
Memory, context profiles, PPE writing rules, and session history. Arciv Pro and Arciv Teams subscriptions. Full deployment to arciv.ai.
Claude and GPT-4 available per session. Users choose their model. Context and memory travel with them regardless of which AI they use.
Expanded artefact library, new cognitive altitude levels, and domain-specific rule packs for legal, finance, and government contexts.
From transcript to action register to stakeholder brief in one pass. Named owners, dated commitments, and a hostile-stakeholder test built in.
Upload any document. Get a structured critique: unsupported claims, missing decision-makers, passive obligations, and banned constructions.
Structured diagnostic for executive briefs and ministerial notes. The first sentence must earn its place. Everything else follows from that.
