Plate I · The grammar layer

Silently wrong answers, made structurally impossible.

A grammar layer for analytical data — built so an AI agent either returns a verified answer, or refuses with diagnostics. Nothing in between.

What makes it different

four plates
i cross-grain navigation

Joins and aggregations resolve automatically, with a correctness proof.

No more fan-trap, no more chasm-trap. The grammar layer walks the schema for you and emits a query that's either provably correct against the model — or refuses with a diagnostic.

ii binary outcomes

Verified answer, or a refusal with diagnostics. Nothing in the middle.

The dangerous case in analytical pipelines isn't a wrong answer — it's a wrong answer that looks fine. Coframe makes that case structurally unreachable.

iii native to agents

An agent describes the question. Coframe writes the SQL — and stands behind it.

Agents shouldn't be hand-crafting joins from scraped table descriptions. Hand off the intent; let the grammar layer produce, verify, and return.

iv trust calibration

Three tiers — A, AA, AAA — like WCAG, but for analytical trust.

Pick the bar you want answers to clear. The grammar layer marks every result with its level — so you know, at a glance, what you're trusting and what you're not.

Coframe is being engraved in the open. The grammar, the verifier, and the manual all live on GitHub — pulled apart, debated, and re-cut as the spec settles toward v1.0.
