Compliance answers,
sourced to the statute.

Comask is built for energy attorneys and compliance teams. Every answer pins each fact to the exact rule — CRS, 4 CCR, FERC orders, eCFR, NERC standards. Not a chatbot. Not a guess.

The difference

Most AI gives you a paragraph.
We give you the rule.

A retrieval-augmented chatbot stitches plausible-sounding text from whatever it found. That’s not compliance. Comask works the other direction — every claim must trace to a specific clause in a specific document, or it doesn’t ship.

Generic RAG chatbot

A paragraph that sounds right

Colorado utilities are required to source a significant portion of their electricity from renewable energy under state law. The standard has been updated multiple times and applies broadly to investor-owned utilities operating in the state.
  • ×No statute number. You verify it yourself.
  • ×Hedged phrasing — “significant”, “broadly”.
  • ×If a clause was repealed last quarter, it won’t know.
  • ×Confidence is an opinion, not a count of matches.
Comask

A claim, pinned to a clause

IOUs must generate 30% of retail sales from renewables by 2020 1CRS § 40-2-124, scaling to 100% clean energy by 2040 2HB 19-1261. Annual filings per 34 CCR 723-3-3654.
  • Every fact is a click away from the source paragraph.
  • Validation agent rejects claims with no matching excerpt.
  • Effective dates surfaced — knows what’s live today.
  • Confidence is a count of authoritative matches, not vibes.
