Why MOTIVE?
Evaluation
MOTIVE is grounded in peer-reviewed research, validated through systematic evaluation across multiple domains, and continuously refined through practitioner feedback.
Tiered
Not every task needs every component. MOTIVE's tiered architecture lets you scale prompt complexity to match the stakes of your work.
