When did it happen, and what applies now?
The animation explains the architecture; no live actions are executed.
A new draft does not automatically replace a confirmed agreement.
- Event time
-
- When did it happen?
- Example: last week’s conversation
The conversation date establishes when it took place.
- Source change
-
- When did the source change?
- Example: transcript completed today
A transcript can be prepared or edited later.
- Indexing time
-
- When was it processed?
- Example: just indexed
The index date shows when the search layer processed the content.
- It is still a conversation from last week.
-
- For “last spoke”, the conversation matters, not ingestion.
The question determines which date matters: the conversation or a document edit.
- Earlier, confirmed agreement
-
A confirmed agreement remains applicable until a change is supported.
- More recent draft
-
- ≠ automatically superseded
A newer draft can contain a proposal that has not been confirmed.
- Versions, confirmation and “supersedes” determine what applies now, or applied then.
-
- Source freshness + indexing freshness: are both source and processing up to date?
- Time informs query understanding, filters, ranking and the final evidence check.
Versions and confirmations determine what applies now or applied earlier.
