# Superinsight Research

> A free, public research tool for the med-legal community. Attorneys, advocates, and physicians ask practitioner-grade questions; an agentic AI answers with pinned citations from Superinsight-hosted authority (regulations, listings, manuals, journals) — not the open web. Author names are never shown. The first question needs no login.

This is **not** a consumer advice or claimant intake site. Answers are written at practitioner level (statutes, diagnostic codes, fee schedules, Listings, VASRD, POMS). A claimant who lands here should consult an accredited advocate.

Every answered thread is a stable, shareable URL under a practice-area hub. Citations link to Superinsight-hosted source pages. Pages are safe to quote and index: no member name, email, or contact information appears on a thread.

Ask from a practice-area hub (the cross-area home is browse-only). Questions that contain identifying details are redacted and must be confirmed before anything is stored; consumer-framed or off-topic asks are not published.

## Practice areas

- [SSA / SSDI](https://research.superinsight.me/research/ssa): Social Security disability research for attorneys & advocates: Listings, grids, POMS, HALLEX.
