170+ knowledge sources.
Five parallel layers.
One knowledge infrastructure.
Before a single deliberation round begins, Le Corum retrieves across five parallel knowledge layers — 73 curated institutional sources, 100 domain specialists, and live intelligence from three independent systems. Every claim is traceable. Every source is labelled.
The question every serious user asks
Before acting on any analysis, a decision-maker needs to know one thing: on what is this based? Fluent AI responses and confident reasoning chains are not, by themselves, an answer to that question. The underlying data matters. Its quality, its provenance, its recency, and its relevance to the specific analytical lens that produced the claim — these are what separate defensible analysis from sophisticated extrapolation.
Le Corum was designed with this question at its center. Every deliberation activates a five-layer knowledge retrieval architecture that runs in parallel before a single round begins. The five minds of Le Corum do not reason from general training data alone. They reason from a precisely retrieved, role-filtered subset of verified sources — assembled specifically for the question at hand, in under 500 milliseconds.
Five layers. One parallel retrieval.
The five knowledge layers are not sequential. They run simultaneously, in parallel, and their outputs are assembled before the first analytical round begins. Total retrieval time: under 500 milliseconds across all five layers combined.
Your deliberation memory
Every past deliberation you have run on MyCorum.ai generates semantic memory — insights, conclusions, identified tensions, and confidence scores. This layer retrieves the most relevant prior deliberations as context for the current question. Le Corum does not start from zero for your organization. It builds on what it has already learned about your specific decisions, domains, and constraints.
Semantic · Per-user
Your documents
PDFs, reports, contracts, financial models, strategic plans — any document you upload to MyCorum.ai is chunked, indexed semantically, and made available to Le Corum as a retrieval layer. The five minds can ground their analysis in your organization's actual data, not generic market knowledge. A deliberation on a specific investment opportunity can draw directly from the relevant due diligence materials you have provided.
Semantic · Per-user
73 curated institutional sources — vetted by hand
This is the layer that most directly distinguishes Le Corum from any other AI analytical system. 73 institutional sources — official publications from governments, regulatory authorities, central banks, international organizations, and statistical agencies — curated, vetted, and maintained by hand. No aggregator noise. No secondary sources. Primary institutional data from the jurisdictions and domains that matter for professional decisions.
Verified · Curated
Live web intelligence — 3 independent search systems
For questions that require current information — recent regulatory changes, market developments, competitive moves, latest research publications — Le Corum activates live retrieval across three independent search systems simultaneously. Results are triangulated for credibility before injection: a claim that appears in one source but not the others is flagged as [ESTIMATED] rather than [VERIFIED]. The triangulation is structural, not optional.
Live · Real-time
100 domain specialists across 17 categories
For domain-specific questions — legal analysis, medical evidence, engineering standards, financial regulation, scientific research — Le Corum activates specialist access layers that go beyond general web search. 100 domain-specific retrieval adapters, across 17 knowledge categories, providing direct access to peer-reviewed publications, patent databases, regulatory frameworks, case law repositories, clinical trial registries, and institutional statistical series. These are live API connections, not cached snapshots.

The 73 institutional sources — a closer look
Layer 03 is the knowledge foundation that makes Le Corum's analysis defensible in professional contexts. Every source in this layer is an official publication from a recognized institutional authority. Here is the geographic and institutional breakdown:
International organizations · 1 source
OECD, WTO, UN Statistical Division, World Bank, IMF, ILO, WHO. These sources provide the global economic, regulatory, and policy baselines against which national-level data is contextualized. A Le Corum analysis on market entry strategy draws from OECD economic outlook data, World Bank business environment indicators, and IMF country assessments — not from general knowledge.
European Union · 17 sources
EUR-Lex (EU law and regulations), ECB (monetary policy and financial stability), Eurostat (EU statistical data), ESMA (financial markets), EBA (banking regulation), EFSA (food safety), plus regulatory authorities from Belgium, Germany, UK, Spain, Romania. For any decision with EU regulatory dimensions, Le Corum accesses primary legislative texts, not summaries of summaries.
France · 10 sources — 25 specialists
Legifrance (official legal texts), BOFIP (fiscal doctrine), INSEE (national statistics), URSSAF (social contributions), INPI (intellectual property), Journal Officiel, Banque de France, AMF (financial markets), ANSSI (cybersecurity), DARES (employment). The depth of French coverage — 25 specialist adapters — reflects the precision required for French legal, fiscal, and regulatory analysis, where the primary text is authoritative and secondary interpretations carry significant variance.
Italy · 3 sources — 24 specialists
Normattiva (consolidated Italian legislation), CONSOB (financial markets authority), Agenzia delle Entrate (tax authority). With 24 specialist adapters — comparable in depth to France — the Italian coverage provides the precision required for Italian regulatory, fiscal, and corporate law analysis. Italy's complex legislative layering makes primary source access particularly valuable: many secondary-source summaries of Italian law contain significant inaccuracies.
The 100 domain specialists — 17 knowledge categories
Beyond the institutional layer, Le Corum has direct access to 100 specialist retrieval adapters across 17 knowledge domains. These are not general search connections — each adapter is configured for the specific data structures, access protocols, and relevance signals of its source.
Legal · 6 specialists
EUR-Lex, HUDOC (European Court of Human Rights), national case law repositories, international arbitration databases. Primary legal text access across EU, Council of Europe, and national jurisdictions.
Medical · 7 specialists
PubMed, Cochrane Reviews, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO databases. Peer-reviewed clinical evidence and systematic reviews — the gold standard for medical and pharmaceutical analysis.
Finance · 5 specialists
ECB Statistical Data Warehouse, FRED (Federal Reserve), IMF Data, World Bank Open Data, BIS. Central bank and multilateral institutional financial data — primary series, not aggregated.
Engineering · 6 specialists
USPTO, EPO, IEEE Xplore, NIST, ISO standards. Patent databases and technical standards — for product, technology, and infrastructure decisions where prior art and compliance matter.
Research · 5 specialists
arXiv, OpenAlex, SemanticScholar, SSRN. Pre-print and peer-reviewed research across scientific disciplines — with semantic search that surfaces conceptually relevant papers beyond keyword matching.
Humanities · 7 specialists
Internet Archive, Europeana, Gallica (BnF), HathiTrust. Digital library access for historical, cultural, and archival research — relevant for intellectual property, heritage, and long-context analysis.
Live intelligence · 10 specialists
Major press agencies, sector-specific RSS feeds, preprint servers (BioRxiv, medRxiv), ECB press releases, central bank communications. Real-time signals for questions where recency is critical.
+ 10 more categories
Environmental regulation, public health, social policy, education, transport, energy, defense, competition law, intellectual property, digital regulation. Full specialist coverage across the regulatory domains that affect professional decisions.

The Context Router — why each mind sees different sources
Retrieving 170+ sources for every deliberation would produce noise, not signal. The value of the knowledge infrastructure depends entirely on relevance — ensuring that each of Le Corum's five minds receives exactly the sources that are most useful to its specific analytical mandate.
The Context Router is the system that handles this. After the five layers retrieve their results in parallel, the Context Router scores each retrieved item against the analytical role of each persona and routes accordingly. The Architect receives a filtered view weighted toward financial and operational data. The Counsel receives a view weighted toward legal, regulatory, and ethical sources. The Engineer receives technical and standards documentation. The Contrarian receives sources that support the adversarial case — including data that challenges the emerging consensus.
Each mind is not just reasoning from a different perspective. It is reasoning from a different, role-appropriate subset of verified knowledge. This is what makes the confrontation rounds analytically substantive rather than stylistic: the five minds genuinely have access to different information, filtered for their role.
What this means for the claims in your synthesis
Every factual claim in a Corum Synthesis carries a provenance label. There are four possible labels:
[VERIFIED]
Claim sourced from a Layer 03 institutional source or a Layer 05 specialist repository. The source is traceable, authoritative, and primary.
[ESTIMATED]
Reasoned inference based on available data. Not directly supported by a single authoritative source. The reasoning chain is present but the factual basis is not fully verified.
[CONTEXT]
Information drawn directly from documents you provided. The claim is grounded in your data, not in external sources.
[ANALYSIS]
Analytical judgment from Le Corum, not directly tied to a specific external source. The reasoning is Le Corum's own, based on the totality of retrieved information.
These labels are not optional. They are structural. Every claim in every Corum Synthesis is categorized before it appears in the output. A decision-maker reading a synthesis knows, at a glance, which conclusions are grounded in verified institutional data and which represent analytical inference. That distinction is the foundation of defensible, accountable AI-assisted decisions.
Why no other AI analytical system offers this
Building and maintaining a knowledge infrastructure of this depth requires choices that most AI systems do not make. It requires rejecting the aggregator model in favor of primary source access. It requires maintaining 73 institutional connections by hand, rather than relying on a general search index. It requires building 100 domain-specific retrieval adapters rather than treating "search" as a single undifferentiated capability. And it requires designing the Context Router to make relevance judgments per persona rather than returning the same results to all five minds.
The result is a deliberation whose factual grounding is traceable, whose claims are categorized by provenance, and whose confidence score reflects the actual ratio of verified to estimated content — not a uniform performance of certainty.
This is the knowledge infrastructure that makes Le Corum's analyses something you can defend to a board, a regulator, a counterparty, or a judge. Not because an AI said so — but because you can trace every material claim back to its primary institutional source.
