Mediation knowledge doesn't need to evaporate to be safe. Claude & I built something new called "OB1-K."

For 11½ years, SCFM volunteers have helped 5,000 families through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Their kids deserve to benefit from our collective wisdom.

Now there's a new, two-tiered AI-based system that can learn without compromising confidentiality - and that knowledge will be made available, heavily discounted for professionals, and free for the public in versions specifically designed to be digestible.

Help is on the way.
