Information Scaffolding

Using AI capabilities to help users express their needs more completely than they could on their own.

Rather than expecting users to become domain experts, the system provides structured guidance that surfaces information users didn’t know to offer. The AI’s reasoning power is deployed not just to answer questions, but to help users ask better ones.

This inverts the typical interaction model: instead of the user doing all the work of problem formulation, the system participates in that formulation.
