# Wu-Weism

> Causal science, automated. From observation to counterfactual — Pearl's causal ladder, automated with institutional rigor.

Wu-Weism is a research workbench that automates the full Pearl causal ladder. Ask causal questions, run interventions, trace counterfactuals, and govern every claim with auditable provenance — all from a single platform.

## Research surfaces

Wu-Weism exposes three purpose-built instruments — each sharing the same underlying SCM engine and provenance trail.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in and connect your AI provider">
    Log in to Wu-Weism and add your API key for Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini in **Model Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your research surface">
    Open the **Causal Workbench** for structured dialogue, **Hybrid Synthesis** for multi-document analysis, or **Legal Causation** for legal causal reasoning.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask a causal question">
    Pose your research question. Wu-Weism classifies the domain, loads the appropriate Structural Causal Model, and grounds every response in explicit causal constraints.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review governed claims">
    Every claim produced is logged in the **Claim Ledger** with provenance, confidence scores, and uncertainty labels — auditable at any time.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Wu-Weism requires an active account and at least one AI provider API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini) to run causal analysis. See [AI Providers](/guides/ai-providers) to configure your key.
