Fact vs allegation vs hypothesis
Label claims so discussion stays inspectable. Documented facts need sources; theories stay marked as theories.
Learning
Learn the method before the product
Founding-cohort education focuses on habits that make later tools safer: source labels, redaction, jurisdiction tagging, and honest uncertainty.
Redaction and confidentiality
What never belongs in a community post: sealed material, juvenile identifiers, raw medical/financial identifiers, unnecessary third-party PII.
Procedure literacy without folklore
Separate local practice observations from statute/rule text. Prefer primary sources and dated jurisdiction notes.
What source-grounded AI should mean
Retrieval is not truth. Drafts need gates. Human approval is not optional theater. NORA One will be taught against these norms — not instead of them.
Case-pattern discipline
Use the shared template so experiences can be compared without turning the forum into an unsearchable rant stream.
UPL and reliance boundaries
Peer education is not representation. No one here is your lawyer because they replied to a thread.
