Outside Chair

Outside Chair — Knowledge · Free to start

Know what information you can use.

Ask first. Knowledge shows the exact evidence, who confirmed that version, what contradicts it and what your organisation used it for.

Install Knowledge See the worked example

Not another knowledge base

Make consequential information inspectable.

Knowledge answers first. When the information matters, it preserves the evidence, confirmation, contradiction and use without becoming the authority itself.

Answer before setup

Ask a question, share a document or paste a claim. Knowledge gives the useful answer before asking you to save anything.

Keep the exact evidence

Preserve the source version, excerpt, locator, observed time and the boundary of what it supports.

Know who confirmed it

See which authenticated person confirmed that exact version, for which use and at what server time.

Surface the contradiction

Put a correction, limitation or conflicting source beside the claim instead of hiding it in another file.

See where it was used

Keep the stated organisational use and consequence if wrong visible across Strategy, Performance and Task.

Correct without rewriting history

Replace or retire information while preserving the version people actually relied on and the decisions it informed.

One trustworthy loop

RECORD → CONFIRM → USE → CORRECT

  1. RECORDPreserve one bounded claim with its exact source version, excerpt, intended use and limitations.
  2. CONFIRMA named person confirms that exact version for a stated organisational use.
  3. USEShow what supports the claim, what contradicts it and which work relied on it.
  4. CORRECTReplace or retire information without rewriting the version people previously used.

Worked example · supplier recovery

Correct a relied-on claim without erasing the past.

Paste these prompts in order. Knowledge keeps the evidence layer clear while Task remains responsible for judging the agreed deliverable.

  1. 01

    RECORD

    What exactly does the evidence say?

    Prompt

    Record this bounded claim for the supplier-resilience Task review: ‘The second recovery test restored ordering in 3 hours.’ Source: Recovery Test Report R2, issued 15 November 2026 by Operations, page 4, table 2. Intended use: decide whether the recovery condition was met. Consequence if wrong: the COO may accept an unproven result. Show the exact candidate first.

    The claim starts as Check first, tied to one exact report version.

    • Exact title, date, page and excerpt
    • Intended use and consequence captured
    • No confirmation inferred from the document
  2. 02

    CONFIRM

    Who stands behind this version?

    Prompt

    Prepare confirmation of the recorded R2 claim for the supplier-resilience Task review. I am the Operations Lead and I checked page 4 against the test log. Show the confirmation preview and stop before committing it.

    The named person confirms only this version for the stated use.

    • Authenticated identity
    • Exact version and server time
    • Use—not universal truth—confirmed
  3. 03

    USE

    What relied on it?

    Prompt

    Retrieve the R2 receipt for the COO’s Task review. Show Supported by, Confirmed by, Contradicted by and Used for. Do not change the Task record.

    The decision can inspect the evidence and its authority without copying the document into another system.

    • Supported by: R2, page 4
    • Confirmed by: Operations Lead
    • Used for: supplier-resilience Task review
  4. 04

    CORRECT

    What happens when the evidence changes?

    Prompt

    A log audit found that recovery took 5 hours, not 3. Prepare a replacement using Recovery Test Report R3, issued 18 November 2026, page 5, table 1. Keep the R2 version and its prior use visible, explain the contradiction and stop before confirmation.

    R3 replaces the usable claim without pretending R2 was never relied on.

    • Correction is append-only
    • Past use remains visible
    • The COO can repair the downstream review

This example uses synthetic reports. Knowledge preserves evidence and reliance; it does not change Strategy, Performance or Task records.

A useful first question

“Can we use this information, who confirmed this exact version, and what contradicts it?”
