Currently covering P118/1-2025 (fire safety)
Ce cerințe se aplică unei case de scări închise la o clădire înaltă?
Casele de scări închise trebuie separate de restul clădirii prin elemente rezistente la foc, iar ușile de acces se deschid în sensul evacuării. Ușile trebuie prevăzute cu dispozitive de autoînchidere și nu pot reduce lățimea liberă a căii de evacuare.

02The problem
You can't trust what you can't check.
P118/1-2025 alone runs to about 700 pages. General chatbots paraphrase it loosely, mix up articles and invent citations — and they sound just as confident when they're wrong.
A generic chatbot
„Conform normativului, ușile caselor de scări trebuie să fie rezistente la foc.”
No source. Which article? Which page?

Verified match One click opens the original paragraph.03How it works
Ask the norm. Check the source.
Three steps, and the last one is yours: every claim links back to the page it came from.
-
1Ask
Ask in plain Romanian
Type the question the way you'd ask a colleague. No article numbers or keywords needed.
-
2Find
It finds the relevant passages
Across the whole norm — articles, tables and diagrams. When a passage says “conform Art. X”, it pulls in the paragraph that's referenced too.
-
3Verify
It cites, then checks itself
A citation follows every claim. Each one is checked automatically: does the source exist, and does its text support the sentence? The result is shown as a badge.
04Features
Built for people who check.
Speed is only useful if you can still verify. Everything in ArchiTech is designed around the source.
Tables and diagrams are first-class
174 tables and 561 figures are indexed and citable — not just the body text. Tables open as a proper grid; diagrams open as the original image.
Three engines + ConsensusSemantic, hybrid and structure-aware search. Consensus shows where they agree. See how
Adversarial checkThe engines hunt for exceptions and derogations that would weaken each other's claims.
Conversation historyQuestions and answers are saved to your account, so you can pick up where you left off.
05Trust signals
Every citation carries its own verdict.
Instead of one generic “verified” tick, each citation is checked automatically: does the source exist, and does its text support the sentence?
Whatever the badge says, the original paragraph is one click away.
-
Verified match
The cited text supports the sentence.
-
Needs review
Partial support. Read the source.
-
Possible mismatch
The source may not say this.
-
Citation not found
The cited source doesn't exist.
06Three engines + Consensus
When the engines disagree, you see it.
Three independent ways of searching the norm. Consensus mode runs all three and compares the sources they cite, so disagreement is visible instead of hidden.
Semantic searchFinds passages by meaning, even when the wording differs.
Hybrid searchCombines exact keywords with meaning.
Structure agentNavigates the norm's chapters, articles and cross-references.
| Source | S | H | A | Agreement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source A | 3 / 3 | |||
| Source B | 2 / 3 | |||
| Source C | 1 / 3 |
AgreementSources all three engines cite are marked as shared ground.
DisagreementSources only some engines found stay visible, so you can judge them yourself.
Adversarial check. The engines also look for exceptions and derogations that would weaken each other's claims — because the most dangerous answer is a correct general rule with the applicable exception missing.

Straight talk
What it won't do.
Knowing the limits is part of using a tool well. Here are ours.
It isn't legal advice or a compliance certificate. ArchiTech is a research aid. The official published norm is the authority.
The automatic check is lexical. It checks that the cited text supports the wording, so it catches invented or misattributed citations. It can miss a wrong number attached to a real citation — always confirm EI/REI ratings, distances and areas on the source page. It's one click away.
It covers one norm today. Only P118/1-2025 (MDLPA) is available. More norms are coming.
08FAQ
Questions, answered briefly.
Which norms are covered?
P118/1-2025, the fire-safety norm published by MDLPA. More norms are coming.
Is this legal advice?
No. ArchiTech is a research aid. It doesn't certify compliance, and the official published norm always prevails.
How do I know an answer is right?
Every claim carries a citation. Click it to read the original paragraph, table or diagram with its page number, and look at its verdict badge. For numbers — fire-resistance ratings, distances, areas — always confirm on the source page.
What does “Needs review” mean?
The cited source exists, but the automatic check couldn't fully confirm that its text supports the sentence. Open the source and read it before relying on that claim.
