Chimera is designed so a person remains accountable for brand fit, facts, claims, quality, approval, and publication. Future AI output must be reviewed rather than treated as authoritative.

• Administrators can view users, aggregate counts, workflow totals, recent non-sensitive activity, project summaries, and status information.
• Administrators may activate or suspend member accounts.
• Member and administrator permissions are enforced by the API, not only by navigation.

• AI-assisted content generation and brand-alignment scoring
• Performance forecasting
• Human review routing
• Channel connections and scheduling
• External publishing and performance monitoring

• If sign-in fails, verify your email and password; the error does not disclose whether an email is registered.
• If a form is rejected, read the validation message and check required fields and length limits.
• If your account is suspended, contact the administrator who manages your Chimera installation.
• If a page continues loading, confirm the gateway and database are available, then retry once.
