AI & Data Practices

Last updated October 8, 2026

DTR Operations Group, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (SCC ID 12072658). It is not an AI tool company. AI is one capability we use to research faster — the recommendations that actually reach you are decided by a human co-founder, every time. This page explains exactly where and how AI is used, in plain language.

Where AI is used

The sample report is available to review at no charge. It is an illustrative example, not a personalized assessment. Submitting an intake sends your answers to DTR for staff review; it does not automatically generate a report or start AI research.

If you move forward with the Full DTR Diagnostic, we run an automated research pass using Anthropic's Claude API across our six lenses: Legal, State & Federal, Financial, Operational, Market Fit, and Demand & Visibility. The AI researches and drafts; it does not decide what you receive.

Where human judgment enters

✓Every full diagnostic is read and reviewed by Donald or Tiffany Roberts personally before it is shared with you. This is a permanent policy, not a temporary one — there is no path in our system that sends an AI-generated report directly to a client without human review first.

What data reaches the AI

When an authorized diagnostic research run proceeds, the relevant business information from your intake — what you told us about your business, industry, financials, location, and goals — is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the research draft. We remove designated contact fields from the typed intake payload. Files selected for automatic attachment review follow the separate permission and limitations described below. If you asked us to research funding or certification programs (the optional Funding & Certification Research question), your selections are included so the AI can research those programs — they are never used for anything else, and skipping the question doesn't limit any other part of your assessment. The intake requires you to check an explicit consent box before submission.

Setup-status and the additional location answers are stored for DTR's review and for future report sections. They are not currently sent to AI services. If that changes, we will update this page first.

Is your data used to train AI models?

No. According to the provider's current commercial API policies, data submitted through Anthropic's commercial API is not used to train their models by default. We have not opted into any data-sharing or model-training program with Anthropic or any other AI provider. Vendor policies are set by the vendor and can change over time — this page describes their policy as we currently understand it, and our own practices, which we control and will update here if they change.

What AI does not do

Accuracy and limitations

With separate attachment permission, DTR includes supported uploaded documents as client-supplied evidence. TXT and DOCX text is extracted on our server; PDFs and images may be sent intact to Anthropic for selected evidence extraction, including any contact details visible in those files. Remove unnecessary personal information first. Extracted evidence is not independent verification, and AI readings of tables, charts and images can be wrong. Each file has a processing status and source references; unsupported, unreadable or unconsented files are not silently treated as reviewed. Document links and video links are not automatically opened.

AI-assisted research can be wrong, incomplete, or miss context a human would catch — which is exactly why human review is mandatory before anything reaches you. Findings involving law, tax, licensing, or regulatory compliance should always be verified with a licensed professional or the relevant government agency directly; we say this explicitly in every deliverable.
