Frequently Asked Questions — Elysian Survival AI

Question 1

Is Elysian suitable for families with no military background?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the system explains its answers in plain language. Military doctrine is the source; clarity is the output. No prior knowledge is required to ask a question or understand the answer.

Question 2

Can I use Elysian to prepare my household for the EU's 72-hour prep recommendation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — ask Elysian specifically about your household size, location, and circumstances. It will generate a step-by-step protocol based on verified military and civil protection doctrine, tailored to your situation.

Question 3

What can I ask Elysian that a government leaflet can't answer?

Accepted Answer

Specific, conditional questions: 'I have a disabled family member — how does this change our evacuation plan?' A leaflet has one answer. Elysian has yours. Every query is answered in context, not in the abstract.

Question 4

Does Elysian work for school emergency planning?

Accepted Answer

Yes — lockdown protocol design, staff briefing guides, first-aid procedures for minors, and shelter-in-place planning for school buildings. Elysian draws from the same doctrine used to train professional emergency responders.

Question 5

What is Elysian?

Accepted Answer

Elysian is an AI-powered survival and military intelligence assistant that delivers field-grade answers drawn directly from verified military doctrine, survival manuals, and tactical operations guides. It combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with a curated knowledge base so every answer is grounded in real source material — not generated from general web knowledge.

Question 6

What knowledge sources does Elysian draw from?

Accepted Answer

Elysian's knowledge base is built exclusively on verified doctrine and professional reference works: FM 21-76 (US Army Survival Manual), SAS Survival Handbook, TCCC Guidelines (CoTCCC, current edition), ATP 3-50.3, FM 3-05.70 (Special Forces Survival), NATO STANAG 2928, USMC SERE Manual, and WEMS/NOLS Wilderness First Aid protocols. No Wikipedia, no forums, no unverified sources.

Question 7

What topics can I ask about?

Accepted Answer

Elysian covers four primary domains: wilderness survival (shelter construction, water procurement, fire craft, signalling), land navigation (map reading, terrain association, dead reckoning, GPS-degraded operations), field medicine (TCCC phases, wound management, tourniquet application, airway control), and tactical operations (small-unit tactics, patrol planning, immediate action drills, threat assessment). Ask anything within these domains in plain language.

Question 8

How accurate are the answers?

Accepted Answer

Every response is retrieved from the indexed source library, not generated from general knowledge. If the answer is not in the knowledge base, Elysian tells you clearly rather than fabricating a response. This makes it significantly more reliable than general-purpose AI for doctrine-specific questions. Source citations are included in every substantive answer.

Question 9

Is it a subscription or a one-time payment?

Accepted Answer

One-time payment. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no query limits. A single payment gives you permanent access to the full system. If you request a refund within 3 days of purchase, it is processed automatically.

Question 10

Does Elysian work offline?

Accepted Answer

Elysian is a web-based system that requires an internet connection to query the knowledge base and generate responses. It is optimised for use on any device with a browser — desktop, tablet, or mobile. An offline mode is not currently available.

Question 11

How is Elysian different from ChatGPT or other AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

General-purpose AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) generate responses from broad training data and frequently hallucinate specific doctrine details. Elysian is purpose-built: it retrieves answers from a curated military doctrine library, cites its sources, and refuses to answer outside its knowledge base rather than fabricating plausible-sounding but incorrect procedures.

Question 12

Is Elysian a replacement for professional military or medical training?

Accepted Answer

No. Elysian is an intelligence and reference tool, not a substitute for certified training. It provides doctrine-accurate information to support learning, planning, and decision-making. In any real emergency, follow trained professionals and established protocols. Always verify critical procedures with qualified instructors.

Question 13

What data does Elysian store about me?

Accepted Answer

Elysian stores your account credentials (email, hashed password), purchase record, and conversation history within your session. Query text is not used for any AI training purposes and is not shared with third parties. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe — Elysian never stores card numbers or billing details. You can request account deletion at any time from your account settings.

Question 14

What platforms and devices is Elysian available on?

Accepted Answer

Elysian is a web application accessible from any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge are fully supported. It works on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices. No app installation is required. The interface is responsive and usable on small screens, though desktop is recommended for reviewing longer doctrine responses.

Question 15

How often is the knowledge base updated?

Accepted Answer

The knowledge base is updated when source doctrine is revised or when new verified reference works are added. TCCC guidelines, for example, are updated periodically by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care — Elysian tracks these revisions. All updates go through the same validation process as the original sources: manual review before any new content is embedded and deployed.

Question 16

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Elysian offers a 3-day satisfaction guarantee. If you request a refund within 72 hours of purchase, it is processed automatically — no questions asked. Refund requests after 3 days are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. To request a refund, use the Cancel Account option in your account settings, which triggers the refund process automatically if you are within the eligible window.

Question 17

Can I share my account with others?

Accepted Answer

Accounts are for individual use. Each account is tied to a single registered user and is not transferable. If multiple people in an organisation need access, separate accounts are required. There are no current multi-seat or team plans, though this is under consideration.

Question 18

Are there plans for an offline or mobile app?

Accepted Answer

An offline-capable version and a dedicated mobile application are on the product roadmap. The offline mode would allow a cached subset of the doctrine library to be queried without an internet connection — directly relevant to field use cases. No release date is committed. Join the mailing list from the homepage to be notified when this becomes available.
