"When it rains, the ground gets wet. When the ground gets wet, tires have less grip. Thus, when it rains, tires have less grip." This is a simple example of the transitive property in automated reasoning.

Airlines Refund Policy: Airlines have complex refund policies with dozens of pages of rules and situations. Any loophole in these policies can be catastrophic for the airline.

AWS uses automated reasoning for their IAM permissioning system, which decides who should have access to what services and at what level. The wrong permission can lead to catastrophic consequences.

AWS uses automated reasoning to interpret and convert a natural language leave of absence policy into logical rules. For instance, "To be eligible for leave of absence, you must have more than 10 years of tenure and be a senior level or higher."

Example question: "I'm a temporary contractor. Am I eligible for leave of absence?" The system responds and proves why a temporary contractor is not eligible based on the extracted logical rules.

Contextual grounding involves loading source material (e.g., a policy document) into a large language model to ask questions. This method is still subject to hallucinations and lacks mathematical proof of correctness.
