Claude stays the general assistant. Rhizome connects over MCP so health-authority answers come from the primary record — agent-to-agent, citations you can open.
Every answer is still grounded in primary sources, with citations you can open in Rhizome.
This is agent-to-agent, not “dump raw search into the chat.” Claude stays the UI and writing layer; Rhizome does the exhaustive health-authority research and citation discipline. The success check: links open real agency pages, and hard questions pull far more than a handful of sources.
Claude handles general work well. Naked precedent is the failure mode: memory, thin source sets, footnotes that don’t hold up. Connecting Rhizome keeps Claude — Enterprise or Claude Code — and adds the health-authority research layer. No hallucinations reported in 18 months on Rhizome’s cited path; still verify before you co-sign.
“Last time we did this research, we spent weeks. Rhizome found the answer immediately.”
“Chetan idk what kind of magic you all did here, it's so good!”
“I want this. I'm really impressed by the quality of the information and the level of detail.”
