Our Commitment to Accuracy

At 1945 the story, accuracy is not optional—it is the foundation of everything we do. We understand that we are not just handling data; we are preserving your family's legacy.

Our Core Standards

Every research finding we deliver is held to a rigorous standard of verification:

  • Verified Archival Documents: Every fact is sourced from primary records.

  • Human Oversight: Every finding is reviewed by a human researcher; we do not automate discovery.

  • Full Citation: Every report includes the archive name and specific reference numbers.

  • Cross-Verification: We cross-check data points against multiple sources whenever available.

Our Ethics: What We Don't Do

  • No AI Findings: We do not use AI to generate research findings or infer relationships.

  • No Speculation: We do not guess at dates, places, or connections when records are unclear.

  • No Historical "Fills": We never fill gaps in research with speculation or creative writing.

  • Authentic Imagery: We never present AI-generated or invented images as historical documents.

Addressing the Gaps

Sometimes history is silent. Records were destroyed, transports were unrecorded, and communities were erased. When we encounter a "silence" in the archives:

  1. We tell you exactly what we searched and what we found.

  2. We explain what the absence of evidence likely means.

  3. We prioritize verified truth over a complete, but unverified, narrative.

Transparent Use of AI

While AI never generates our research, we utilize it for limited technical tasks to improve your experience:

  • Translation: To create initial drafts (always reviewed by a human).

  • Restoration: To repair degraded or damaged family photographs.

  • Organization: To help summarize organizational data (always fact-checked against sources).

Correction Policy

Your family story is too important for shortcuts. If you believe there is an error in any report we deliver, contact us immediately. We will re-research the issue, correct the record, and reissue the report at no charge.
