The LLM does not try to be the help. It routes the right signal to the right person at the right time.
A reference implementation of the LM4VSP architecture, deployed on company-owned production infrastructure today and explicitly portable to Azure Government Cloud at FedRAMP High / IL4–IL5 upon Phase I award.
"The Veterans Crisis Line remains the second-line backup, hard-coded into the escalation rule. The peer ring is what catches the cases that would never have dialed the Crisis Line in the first place."
— Proposal narrative · Section 5
Every component has a direct architectural peer in Azure. The Phase I lift is a deploy-config change — not a re-architecture. The crisis-flag → peer-first → VCL fallback rule is data, not inference.
Mandatory human-in-the-loop. No LLM output bypasses the deterministic escalation rule.
Every classification ships with C-SSRS / Joiner ITS framework citation and reasoning.
Escalation rule is data, not a code path inferred from model output.
No login. No identity binding. Text is hashed before anything is written down.
