CBAIQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using AI to interpret collective agreements — accuracy, security, who CBAIQ is for, and how pricing works.

What is CBAIQ?

CBAIQ is AI-powered collective agreement interpretation software. You upload your collective bargaining agreement, and CBAIQ answers questions about it in plain English — with every answer citing the specific articles and clauses it relied on. It serves union representatives, labor negotiators, and HR & labour relations professionals.

How does CBAIQ work?

CBAIQ indexes your uploaded agreement at the clause level. When you ask a question in natural language — for example, about overtime, seniority, or grievance timelines — it retrieves the relevant articles from your document and produces a structured, citation-backed answer grounded in that exact text. It also offers risk-scored case review for workplace scenarios.

Can AI interpret collective agreements?

AI can reliably retrieve, summarize, and explain collective agreement language when it is indexed to the specific document — which is what CBAIQ does. Unlike general chatbots, CBAIQ does not answer from generic internet knowledge: every output references your agreement's actual articles so a professional can verify it against the source. Final interpretation authority always rests with the parties, arbitrators, and legal counsel.

How accurate are the responses?

Every CBAIQ answer is anchored in the text of your uploaded agreement and includes citations to the specific articles used, so you can verify accuracy directly against the source document. Answers about topics your agreement does not cover are flagged rather than guessed. As with any decision-support tool, outputs should be reviewed by a qualified professional before action is taken.

Does CBAIQ replace labour relations professionals?

No. CBAIQ is a decision-support and educational tool that makes labour relations professionals faster and more consistent. It does not replace professional judgment, union representation, HR expertise, or legal counsel — it gives those professionals instant, verifiable access to what the agreement says.

How are my documents protected?

Uploaded agreements are never used to train AI models, are not externally indexed, and remain under your organization's control. CBAIQ uses institutional-grade data handling with access controls, and all plans include enterprise-grade data privacy standards.

Can I upload multiple agreements?

Yes. CBAIQ supports multiple agreements, with limits that vary by plan. Each agreement is indexed separately so answers always reference the correct document. Organization plans support multi-user teams working across multiple agreements.

What file formats are supported?

CBAIQ accepts standard document formats, including PDF — the most common format for collective agreements. After upload, the agreement is automatically processed and indexed for question answering.

Can unions use CBAIQ?

Yes. CBAIQ is built for both sides of the table. Union representatives and stewards use it to answer member questions quickly and accurately, prepare grievances, and verify provisions on seniority, scheduling, discipline, and dues — all grounded in the agreement's exact language.

Can employers use CBAIQ?

Yes. HR and labour relations teams use CBAIQ to apply agreement provisions consistently across managers and departments, assess grievance risk before taking action, and prepare for negotiations with clause-level analysis.

Does CBAIQ provide legal advice?

No. CBAIQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It is an educational decision-support platform. Always consult HR, labour relations professionals, or legal counsel before taking action based on any output.

How is pricing structured?

CBAIQ is priced by agreements and seats. Starter ($299/month) covers 1 collective agreement and 3 seats; Pro ($799/month) covers up to 5 agreements and 15 seats with risk-scored case review; Organization plans (contact sales) include unlimited agreements and seats, SSO, and audit exports.
