Upload a PDF or Word file, paste Bill text, or fetch an official Parliament / Kenya Law URL. 2. Extract and segment clauses. Text PDFs are read first; scanned pages go through OCR. 3.

Export Markdown, JSON or CSV, and print a PDF-ready report. ## Run it ```bash npm install npm test npm run dev ``` Open localhost. Use **Try the sample 2026 Bill** to see the engine on a deliberately difficult draft. Optional LLM refinement: copy `.env.example` to `.env.local` and set one provider key. Without a key, the deterministic engine still produces cited findings. ## Knowledge base `data/constitution/kenya-2010.v1.json` is parsed from the official Kenya Law HTML publication of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. ```bash npm run constitution:parse ``` Do not silently overwrite that file. Analyses record `constitution_version`, `rules_version` and timestamps. ## How we work - The Constitution, not the model, is the authoritative source. - E …
