Docs · How Nebula works

What Nebula reads

When you upload a document, Nebula reads it the way an experienced project manager would: it finds every commitment that matters and writes each one down as a tracked item. A commitment might be a deliverable, a deadline, a payment, a responsibility, a definition, or a reference to another document.

Plain words are not enough

A contract written in prose lets too many things mean too many things. Nebula pins each commitment down: what it is, who owes it, to whom, and by when. That turns a document you have to read end to end into a project you can run: every commitment tracked, every deadline watched, and every figure traceable to the line it came from.

Every item keeps its source

Each item Nebula records carries the exact words it came from, with the page and the place in the document. Click any item to see the original text. Nothing Nebula tracks is invented; it can always point to where it read it.

Why that matters

Source quotes are not for show. They mean a third party, a court, an auditor, or your counterparty, can confirm that what Nebula is acting on is genuinely in the document both sides signed. Without that, the system would just be asking you to trust the software.

  • What Nebula does: how Nebula acts on what it read.
  • Reliability scores: how a track record builds from proven events.
