Discoveries don't go straight into the family tree. The system uses a tiered fact promotion model: AI agents submit findings as unverified research facts, tagged with sources and confidence scores. A **SourceRank** algorithm weighs the reliability of each source — a census record ranks higher than a newspaper mention, which ranks higher than an AI inference. Facts move through tiers: *AI-inferred → AI-sourced → human-entered → human-reviewed → verified*. Nothing reaches the curated tree without evidence and review. The goal isn't just to grow the tree — it's to know how much to trust each piece of it.
Along the way, the family's story expanded: the Freiberg & Workum whiskey empire (Ohio and Kentucky's largest), three generations of Reform Judaism leadership, Dr. Albert Freiberg's pioneering orthopedic work, Stella Freiberg's role in founding the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, David Shire's Oscar-winning compositions. A visualization tool called *Loom* was built to explore the tree as an interactive network — timelines, relationship paths, force-directed graphs.

Simon is the latest piece — a way for family members to simply ask questions and get answers. But he's more than a lookup tool.
The backend was designed for AI from the start. After building it, Seth realized the only appropriate frontend would also be an AI. Simon is that frontend — a way for family members to simply ask questions and get answers. But he's more than a lookup tool.

Andrew wrote the program. Seth brought it back and built everything around it — the database, the API, the agent infrastructure, Loom, and Simon. The AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Codex) are collaborators, but the vision, architecture, and editorial judgment are Seth's.

Simon was built on April 4, 2026 using [Claude Opus 4.6](https://claude.ai). He is named after the patriarch, and he knows it.
