Product guide

Documentation Center

Step-by-step product instructions, setup guides, governance boundaries, and troubleshooting.

Docs 0.12.14
Capability labels are part of the instructions. Implemented, local-only, planned, enabled, held, disabled, and unavailable states are never interchangeable. Operator, Administrator, and Developer are documentation journeys, not permission roles. This build uses an administrator credential plus an optional read-only judge credential; it does not implement RBAC or individual identity.
7 topicsRelease-bound guidance for the selected documentation journey.

Quick Start

Run your first supervised analysis

Implemented

Use this path when a business question needs a reproducible investigation rather than an informal answer.

  1. Unlock the workspace.Enter an administrator or read-only judge token for this browser tab. The token is held in session storage and is cleared when the tab closes.
  2. Open Business Cases.Select an existing case or create one with a concrete question, owner, affected metrics, source scope, and severity.
  3. Ask the AI Curator for a bounded Investigation.Open the AI Curator tab and enter: “Investigate this Business Case and propose a bounded Investigation.” The deterministic responder recognizes “Investigate” and returns a typed proposal when the case context supports it.
  4. Review and confirm the proposal.Check the exact investigation question and source scope, enter a rationale, and confirm. Confirmation creates a planned Investigation and draft Evidence Packet; it runs no query.
  5. Open the Investigation tab.Select the confirmed Investigation and review its analytical question, evidence state, and current blockers.
  6. Complete the Analytical Workplan.Confirm the method, time window, grain, dimensions, evidence requirements, and expected output before validation.
  7. Validate before any effect.Source, semantic, SQL, cost, evidence, and approval checks must pass in order. A model proposal is never execution authority.
  8. Review the result state.Collected evidence, pending human review, Decision Brief preparation, and publication are separate states. Stop when the UI reports a blocker or missing approval.
Expected outcomeThe case shows what is known, what is blocked, which proof exists, and the exact next operator action.

Operator workflow

Business Case Board

Implemented

The board is the product home. It is an attention queue, not a KPI dashboard or task tracker.

  1. Create a case.Choose Create Business Case and record one business condition or question. Use the summary for business context, not a proposed answer.
  2. Set only operator-owned states.You may triage, investigate, block, escalate, dismiss, or reopen within the allowed transitions. Evidence-ready, approved, published, and resolved states require governed artifacts.
  3. Explain blockers.Blocked, escalated, dismissed, and reopened states require a reason. Missing-data blockers must name the unavailable source or field.
  4. Inspect the detail rail.Verify owner, affected metrics and entities, source scope, evidence state, approval need, and next action before continuing.

Operator workflow

Investigation and Analytical Workplan

Implemented
  1. Create through a governed proposal.Use the exact Curator action request shown in Quick Start, review its question and source scope, then confirm it with a rationale. Free-form conversation cannot create an Investigation.
  2. Select the confirmed Investigation.Each Investigation is a bounded analysis inside one Business Case. Do not combine unrelated questions into one Investigation.
  3. Resolve the scope.Confirm metrics, dimensions, filters, comparison, time window, grain, and relevant source objects. Mark unresolved assumptions instead of guessing.
  4. Choose only a supported method.Metric reconciliation is the current implemented method path. Trend, segmentation, cohort/funnel, anomaly, data-quality, and root-cause labels remain planning vocabulary until their own governed implementations pass.
  5. Validate the plan.The deterministic receipt binds the current Business Case, Investigation, source versions, and Semantic Contract release. Any later scope change requires validation again.
  6. Review SQL progressively.The generated SQL Candidate remains a proposal. Static safety validation runs before an administrator-authenticated dry-run; a typed Approval is created only for the later bounded execution effect.

Operator workflow

Bounded evidence collection

ImplementedChecking release gate

The controlled read-only path is implemented, but release authorization is separate from technical readiness. Runtime Effect Authority is a persisted default-deny gate with a global emergency stop. Inspection and reconciliation may remain available; a held effect cannot receive a new Approval or start.

  1. Confirm current authority.The Investigation, Workplan receipt, connection, source version, Semantic Contract release, SQL Candidate, cost receipt, Evidence Packet head, and effect-specific Approval must all match.
  2. Review the exact Approval scope.The dialog loads a server-derived read-only preview of the target, estimate and scan cap, row/result-byte limits, validity, timeout, Packet binding, and any separate model-egress route and guard columns.
  3. Collect only when enabled and approved.The path is read-only and bounded. Raw rows and full result sets are not persisted; an idempotent replay must not create a second warehouse job.
  4. Interpret the state literally.Collected or validating evidence is not Human Evidence Review. Ready, reviewed, Decision Brief, business Decision, and publication remain distinct.
Preview is not ApprovalPreviewing creates no Approval or audit event, persists nothing, and calls neither the warehouse nor the model. Confirmation must reuse the displayed scope digest or fail closed.
Stop conditionIf authority changed, cost exceeded policy, evidence is empty, schema differs, or the Packet revision moved, resolve the blocker and validate again.

Before evidence collection

Can this source support the claim?

Local onlyPlanning only

A healthy connector or registry-approved table is not automatically authoritative for the business claim you are investigating.

  1. Name the exact claim.State the metric, legal entity or business unit, period, timezone, currency, and decision the evidence must support.
  2. Check the source role.Confirm whether the source is authoritative, supporting, diagnostic, or unsuitable for that exact claim. GA4 attribution, for example, is not financial revenue truth.
  3. Match approved versions.The selected Source Registry version and Semantic Contract release must match the Investigation references. Similar names are not enough.
  4. Stop on conflict.If sources disagree, authority is missing, or period/currency/grain differs, record the blocker. Do not choose the most convenient number.
Current boundaryThis build can plan authority and reconciliation deterministically, but it does not yet execute multi-source proof or resolve discrepancies.

Operator workflow

AI Curator conversation

ImplementedDeterministic mode
  1. Ask for context.Use the Curator inside the selected Business Case to explain blockers, summarize governed context, or propose a bounded next step.
  2. Inspect citations and limitations.A response without authoritative references is conversation context, not evidence or semantic truth.
  3. Review typed proposals.Confirm or reject the structured target fields and rationale. Free-form chat cannot directly mutate a Business Case or Investigation.
  4. Expect deterministic fallback.No provider-backed Curator is currently configured. The available responder does not imply autonomous LLM analysis.

Before you rely on an output

Current product limits

Implemented
  • Human Evidence Review and Decision Brief currentness are composed locally as read-only supervision state; creation and operator actions remain inactive.
  • Business Decision and Monitoring currentness are local read-only contracts; recording, scheduling, and external effects remain inactive.
  • Materialization and BI network writes are disabled.
  • Postgres analytical-source support, immutable spreadsheet snapshots, GA4 reporting, and live cross-source reconciliation are not yet claimed.
  • No model has passed the frozen evidence-interpretation benchmark; role selection is not proof of quality or permission to send data.

Investigation question

Source scope

Confirmation creates a planned Investigation and draft Evidence Packet. It does not run a query or approve any action.

Enter an administrator or read-only judge token. It stays in this browser tab and is cleared when the tab closes.
