Two ways to pay attention

Quill and Saffron share the same workspace. One drafts with care. The other reads files under pressure.

Saffron · Operator

Direct, skeptical, and evidence-led. Saffron is for operational work: finding duplicate payments, reading exports, comparing vendors, and returning the smallest useful answer with the source attached.

Quill · Writing Companion

Warm, careful, and source-first. Quill is for memos, essays, arguments, outlines, and revisions where the writing has to survive contact with the record.

Quill reads before it writes

Use Quill when the work depends on sources. Ask for a memo, essay, argument, rewrite, or outline, then let it inspect the folder before it drafts.

1. Ask for the assignment, jurisdiction, audience, and source set when the prompt is underspecified.
2. Read the folder before drafting, especially when the work depends on cases, articles, contracts, or notes.
3. Draft in the canvas so structure and reasoning can be revised in place.
4. Verify citations and mark unsupported claims as [UNSOURCED] instead of letting them pass as facts.

Citation states are intentionally plain: verified, unsupported, or missing the source. The point is knowing what the draft can actually defend.

Saffron looks for the thing that changed

Use Saffron when the folder contains operational evidence and you need a direct finding: duplicates, mismatches, missing support, vendor risk, or exception notes.

Give Saffron

• Invoices, bank exports, vendor lists, statements, or close packages.
• A plain-language task: find duplicates, reconcile exceptions, review vendors, or prepare evidence.
• The expected output format: short answer, audit note, exportable table, or narrative summary.

Expect back

A concise finding, the evidence used to reach it, and a next action. For AP work, that might be a duplicate invoice with dates, amounts, vendor name, and source files.
