Anyone can wire Ollama to Chroma and put a Streamlit box on top; there are a hundred &ldquo;local RAG in 100 lines&rdquo; tutorials that do exactly that. The moat is the <em>trust layer</em> underneath the chat: enforced egress control, code-enforced citations, a tamper-evident audit chain, injection defense, and a self-run eval harness that can actually go red. Those are the things a person has to believe before they hand a tool their private documents.</p>
