Focus

RIGOR pre-selects what it recommends for this manuscript. Or choose up to 3 specific areas; the quote below updates live.

04 Model & budget

Available after RIGOR analyzes your manuscript.

How would you like to run it?

One decision: who runs the model and who is billed. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key and pay the provider directly — RIGOR charges nothing — or buy a RIGOR-run audit with no key at all.

05 API key

Only for runs on your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.

The key is held in memory by the RIGOR process running your audit: on your own machine when you run RIGOR locally, and on the RIGOR server when you use the hosted site, for this session only. It is never written to disk, never stored in your browser, and never appears in the audit record or the report. Forget key removes it immediately, and closing the session removes it anyway.

06 Run

One click. RIGOR audits, verifies its own findings and builds the report.

  • RIGOR never sees your provider account or its password
  • It cannot read your other conversations or your email
  • Your API key is held for this session only and never written down
  • The copy of your manuscript is deleted when the audit ends

Your manuscript is uploaded to the server running this audit and kept in a private working folder for the length of the run, because a model has to read it to audit it. It is sent to the provider you choose -- under your own account when you bring a key, under RIGOR's when you buy a RIGOR-run audit -- and the working copy is deleted when the audit ends.

Used to deliver this report, kept only while the delivery is alive, and then discarded. It never reaches the model, the audit, or the report itself.
