Who (or What) Is SantaBarbaraDefense?

SantaBarbaraDefense is our in‑house research collective—a blend of advanced AI modelling and human oversight devoted to one subject: DUI law in Santa Barbara County.

We harness Compose Quickly to draft each article via a 60‑prompt workflow that pulls from case law, DMV regulations, and peer‑reviewed studies. The draft then lands on my desk—Neale Goldingay—for fact‑checking, copy‑editing, and localisation.

The result? Over 100 deeply‑researched guides (and counting) that cut through jargon and put actionable steps at your fingertips.

Our 3‑Step Writing Pipeline

  1. Research Layer → CQ gathers statutes, local rules, and scholarly sources relevant to the exact topic.
  2. Draft & Self‑Audit → The AI generates and immediately cross‑checks each claim against its sources before moving on.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  3. Human Polish → I fine‑tune tone, verify citations, and ensure the guide answers real‑world reader questions.
