The blocks

statement

A block type

Statement

The plainest block: an optional eyebrow label, an optional heading, and a passage of prose underneath. No rows, no options, no image — just the words, carried straight from wherever they were written.

facts

Facts

Shape

A two-column list — the label hugs, the value fills the rest of the row.

A row can link out

to a source, a page, or a document

Used for

a quick rail of role, team, timeline, and similar short answers

exhibit

ledger

What I claim

ClaimSource

A ledger block is drawn by the same builder the case studies use, so the two can never disagree.documented

Each row carries its own grade — documented, recollection, or not measured — instead of one blanket confidence figure.documented

A ledger block can also point at an existing case study's claims by name, rather than writing its own.

Documented rows have a dated artifact I can produce on request.

decision

Why there is no confidence percentage

The constraint

A rules engine that matches a question to an answer by chip, phrase, or keyword has no real confidence score to show. An early sketch put a percentage next to the answer anyway, borrowed from the shape of a familiar AI product.

The options

Show an invented confidence percentage next to the answer

Show a similarity score without saying which tier produced it

Show the mechanism instead — which rule fired, or that none did and a similarity search took over

The call

The percentage was rejected in favour of a plain line: the matched question, why it matched — a chip click, a phrase, a keyword, or, when no rule fires, a similarity score labelled as exactly that — and the answer it opened. A rule hit still opens its answer at once. When nothing matches, the closest few questions by meaning are offered as chips under a line saying there is no exact answer, never opened automatically, because the top pick by similarity alone was wrong often enough that automatic was the wrong default.

The cost

The line that replaced the percentage reads more like an engineering log than a product feature, and it is one clause longer. Every word in it is checkable.

the system's own notes on how a question gets matched to an answer

timeline

1. FirstA dated or ordered entrywith a short note underneath, if one is worth keeping

3. LastIn the order they happened, not the order they were written

pointer

How this site worksA quiet card that points at an existing page or answer, instead of retelling it — a title, a summary, and an optional image on top.
