RelayForge and FieldClaw products are decision-support tools, not substitutes for qualified professional judgment. AI-generated outputs must never be used as the sole basis for safety-critical decisions in industrial, process, electrical, or instrumentation environments. Always verify against site-specific documentation, manufacturer specifications, and applicable regulations. Human review by a qualified I&E professional is required before acting on any AI output in a live process environment.
The information, tools, calculations, recommendations, and outputs provided by RelayForge, Inc. ("RelayForge," "we," "us," or "our") through our Services — including relayforge.tools, FieldClaw, ClawHub, Anderson OS, DAWES, Carapace Protocol, and any associated applications, APIs, or AI agents (collectively, "Services") — are provided for informational and decision-support purposes only.
RelayForge, Inc. is not a licensed engineering firm, registered professional engineer, safety consultant, legal advisor, or regulated financial service. Nothing in our Services constitutes professional engineering advice, legal counsel, safety certification, or regulatory compliance determination.
Use of our Services is at your sole risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RelayForge, Inc. disclaims all liability for decisions made based on information or outputs from our Services.
FieldClaw and related RelayForge I&E tools operate in environments governed by process safety regulations including but not limited to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 (Process Safety Management), NFPA 70E (Electrical Safety in the Workplace), IEC 61511 (Functional Safety — SIS), and applicable site-specific safety management systems.
Specifically, users must not rely solely on RelayForge AI outputs for:
The FieldClaw Hierarchy of Truth system and Safety Auditor are designed to surface relevant information and flag safety considerations — they are aids to human decision-making, not replacements for it. A qualified Instrumentation & Electrical technician, engineer, or safety professional must review and authorize all safety-critical work.
RelayForge products utilize large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). AI-generated outputs, including the Journeyman agent, DAWES, and all agentic responses, may:
Deterministic calculations performed by the Logic Engine (4-20 mA scaling, RTD, Ohm's Law, conduit fill) are mathematically validated by cross-checking agents. However, these calculations depend entirely on the accuracy of inputs provided by the user. Garbage in, garbage out — and in an industrial environment, that matters.
FieldClaw and certain RelayForge products operate on a Bring Your Own Token (BYOT) model, routing queries through third-party LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, OpenRouter, and others. RelayForge does not control, warrant, or take responsibility for:
Users are responsible for reviewing and accepting the terms of service and acceptable use policies of any third-party AI provider they connect to via RelayForge.
Crash Course Instrumentation (CCI) content, the Socratic Tutor, the pre-loaded knowledge base (including Kuphaldt's Lessons in Industrial Instrumentation), and any training materials provided through RelayForge Services are for educational purposes only.
Educational content does not replace formal apprenticeship training, journeyman certification, professional engineering licensure, or employer-specific job hazard analysis. Techniques described in educational materials must be adapted to site-specific conditions, local code requirements, and current regulatory standards before application in the field.
Tony Kuphaldt's Lessons in Industrial Instrumentation is published under a Creative Commons license and is used with attribution. RelayForge makes no representations about the completeness or currency of third-party educational materials incorporated into the knowledge base.
The Carapace Protocol provides a cryptographic trust framework for AI agent identity and capability verification. Clawmark vetting and ARIA registry listing indicate that a tool has passed RelayForge's defined review criteria at the time of vetting. Clawmark certification does not constitute:
Users deploying Clawmark-vetted tools in industrial environments remain solely responsible for evaluating fitness for purpose and obtaining appropriate site authorization.
