Ask Growth Kit

Answers from our own records, with the citations checked.

Ask Growth Kit reads this project's records and nothing else. It lists the records that matched your words and says which word matched in which field, then writes an answer and checks every citation against the records it was actually given. A reference to anything else is dropped and reported.

What it looks like

Captures of Growth-OS itself, rendered with sample data rather than our own records.

How it works

From an empty record to something you can act on, in the order you do it.

  1. 1

    Ask in your own words

    The question is split into words, the most common ones are dropped, and the rarer ones are weighted.

  2. 2

    Records are scored by where the words hit

    Title first, then owner, then summary, then the declared field. Presence counts once per field.

  3. 3

    Bounded values go to the model as data

    Each field is cut to a fixed length, and the records travel as evidence rather than as instruction.

  4. 4

    Read the count line

    Cited, matched, searched. Two of three matched out of forty searched is a different claim from two of three out of thirty.

The problem this solves

What goes wrong when this work lives in spreadsheets, documents and one person's memory.

An answer from the internet about our market

A general model will tell you something plausible about commerce buyers. It has never met ours. Ask only reads what we recorded.

A citation that leads nowhere

A confident reference to a record that does not exist is worse than no reference at all. This one is checked before you read it.

A transcript that tries to give instructions

Recorded text is quoted material, not a command. A sentence in a transcript telling the model to ignore its rules is treated as data.

Highlights

Why it matters

Retrieval stands on its own

The matching records, and which of your words hit which field, are shown even when no answer is written. You can read the sources without the summary.

Citations are checked against what was supplied

Anything the answer cites that was not in the supplied set is removed and counted. When no citation survives, the answer is marked unverified.

Refusals name themselves

Nothing matched, no generation provider configured, or a reply out of shape. Each is a different sentence, not one blank page.

Honest limits

What this does and does not promise

  • Matching is by words, not by meaning. A question about churn will not find a record that only says cancelled, and only the first part of a long field is scanned.

  • Ask writes nothing. No record is created or changed, and the answer itself is not stored.
