A decade of expertise, turned into a searchable library

The Autoimmune Recovery Method is another of our own companies, a part-time education business Christopher built with his wife Daniela. For it, we built a large, sourced education library and put AI to work on the research and the first draft, with a certified subject-matter expert verifying and shaping every piece before it published. Nothing ships unverified.

The build shown here carries no health or medical claims. It is about scale, structure, sourcing, search, and expert verification.
The problem

Deep expertise, and no way to search it

Behind the Autoimmune Recovery Method sit years of teaching, a shelf of reference material, and an expert's own writing, spread across course modules, article archives, food charts, and notes. The goal was to turn all of it into one original, trustworthy, fully searchable resource that a reader could actually use, at a scale no one could write by hand, without ever publishing something that had not been checked by a qualified person.

The before and after. Expertise scattered across modules, archives, and notes becomes: search the library, open a recipe, an article, or a topic, and get something original, sourced, and reviewed, in the expert's own voice.
What it looks like

A searchable recipe library, a course, and a food explorer

The reader gets a fully searchable recipe library, a self-paced course, and a browsable food explorer, all reading from the same reviewed material. These are representative previews, built in our own navy-and-gold style.

How detailed it is

Sourced to the study, checked by a certified expert

Every topic is structured, every claim cites a source, and a certified subject-matter expert reviews each piece before it publishes. Nothing self-certifies.

No self-certification. A draft cannot mark itself reviewed. Only an independent review pass may set the verified flag, and publication needs that flag plus a separate enable.

How it is built

A pipeline that writes fresh, and a person who signs off

Two pipelines feed one reviewed library. AI does the heavy first pass; gates catch the ways it goes wrong; a certified expert verifies before anything reaches a reader.

Verified references

Reference corpora and the expert's own material are gathered, with a research gate holding every figure and claim before it can be used.

2 · Draft

AI first pass

A scheduled pipeline drafts recipes and topic-canonical articles from scratch, one authoritative piece per topic rather than rewriting sources one for one.

3 · Gate

Automated checks

A voice-retention gate proves each piece was written fresh rather than lightly edited, plus checks on compliance, nutrition, and repeated phrasing.

Expert sign-off

A certified subject-matter expert, Daniela Hess, a certified AIP coach, reviews and shapes the voice. Nothing publishes without passing the gates and an explicit enable.

human in the loopexplicit publish flagnothing self-certifies
Written fresh, not rewritten. The library is topic-canonical: one authoritative article per topic, written from scratch and grounded in verified sources, rather than hundreds of near-duplicate rewrites. A numeric voice-retention gate catches the failure where a draft edits a source instead of writing something new, which a person reading it would miss.
Nothing ships unverified. A piece publishes only when it carries both a verified flag and an enabled flag, and only the review pass may set them. A draft asserting its own quality means nothing on its own. That distinction exists because, early on, a batch self-certified and slipped past review, and the pipeline was rebuilt so it cannot happen again.

The same reviewed knowledge base powers both the browsable library and a retrieval-grounded coach, so the material is written and reviewed once, not twice. The build principle is the one behind everything else we make: AI does the heavy first pass, a qualified person stays on the judgment, and nothing ships unverified.

On licensing, for the careful reader. The library is written from facts, not expression: one original article per topic, reconciled to the expert's own positions and written in her voice, rather than translated post by post from any source. That keeps the work firmly on the facts-not-expression side of the line, and it retrieves better too.
