Glossary: the words this site uses, defined once

Short definitions of the terms on these pages, from Company Brain to validation status.

Company Brain: The record underneath DataBridge: your sources connected into one record, the same customer, supplier, project or person linked across them, and each figure read from a file pointing to its source.
Intelligence layer: The work built on the record: answers to plain-English questions, reports from current records, drafted work for a person to approve, and workflow analysis.
Source link: The pointer from a figure back to the cell, line or page of the file it was read from.
Validation status: What a figure shows beside its source link about whether it has been validated.
Version: A correction is added as a new version and the old one is kept, so the record can be read as it stood on any past date.
Role: What a person may see. Your administrators set the roles once, and each person sees only what their role allows.
On-premise setup: DataBridge installed in your environment, on hardware you control. In this setup it uploads nothing and makes no outbound connection.
Baseline: How a workflow performs before a pilot, in hours and outcomes, set with you at the start and measured against during the pilot.
Synthetic data: Company records generated for testing, where the right answer to every check is known in advance. No customer data is in them.
Full history: When each fact was true and when it was recorded, so any past answer can be shown again exactly as it was given.
Business vocabulary: One agreed meaning for customer, order, contract and project, used by every team.
Relationship map: How records connect: contract to customer, invoice to order, account to owner.
Source snapshots: A copy that cannot be changed of what each source said when it was read, so figures can always be checked.
Change tracking: When a source value changes, every answer built on it is flagged.
Architecture sheet: The full description of how DataBridge is built and installed, which your IT, privacy and vendor-risk reviewers receive before anything is installed.

What this site does not claim: it shows no results from customers, and its test results come from synthetic company data, each with its month.
