Timeline
Start
Brief received
Zeb: bring the Known brain to life — research-corpus-plan, public-library-plan, research-plan, experiments lab
Phase 1
Research corpus synthesized
Tiers 1–4 synthesized; H1–H6 updated; Guide 1 drafted; /research page built
Orange cone
Zeb's verification review
"Source-named is not source-verified. Known is a trust product. You cannot have fuzzy research claims near dementia care."
Phase 2
Source verification pass
8 sources fetched. source-extractions.md written. Synthesis corrections recorded.
Wrap
Consistency pass
5 status contradictions fixed. Legend added. Stats made honest. tsc + build clean.
What shipped
docs/known/brain/source-extractions.md — extraction ledger with one card per source: read status, verbatim claims, corrections, safe/unsafe wording
docs/known/research-corpus-synthesis.md — first-pass synthesis of Tiers 1–4 with honest epistemic header and corrections table
docs/known/guides/guide-01-questions-before-memory-fades.md — Guide 1 draft with 6 question categories and founding conversation validation gate
docs/known/mvp-hypotheses.md — H1–H6 updated to research-seeded with evidence; H3 split into H3a and H3b; CO1 and CO2 added
Known/app/research/page.tsx — private /research page with corpus tiers, guide pipeline, hypothesis ledger, candidate observations, legend, and status pills
“Known's whole advantage is trust. The research page should feel like it refuses to fool itself.”
