Why we did this

The tool read advisors' and teammates' enthusiasm as customer proof. In one call, 12 of 21 findings came from Qpoint's own people.

What happened

Each call now declares who is talking and why, every finding says whose view it is, and code decides what counts as proof. By that rule, none of seven use cases is proven yet.

In wordsEach finding is tagged as first-hand, passed along, or from inside Qpoint, and anything a Qpoint person says counts as inside.

What changed

The two changes that matter most, in plain words. Open any one to see it.

  1. 1

    Each finding is tagged as first-hand, passed along, or from inside Qpoint, and anything a Qpoint person says counts as inside.

    Every finding says whose view it is · came from Mark Parson

  2. 2

    A use case counts as proven only when two outside companies back it from real use, in their own words.

    Proof is computed, not felt · came from Mark Peterson and Mark Parson

Also in this cycle
  • Before a call is read, it's labelled by who the other side is and what kind of meeting it was. In words
  • Team and advisor sessions now record their decisions, to-dos and parked ideas. In words
  • A brief template requires its sources, and the path from conversation to shipped design is written down. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

We decided

market-analyst-c11-D2 Be explicit about the nature of each meeting, but keep it simple: small concessions only where they yield the truest analysis. — Mark Parson

So now

Each finding is tagged as first-hand, passed along, or from inside Qpoint, and anything a Qpoint person says counts as inside.

“Our CFO in terms of, like, you know, tokens cost, like, she's trying to rationalize spend all the time, and actually, cost is attributed to department... it's like, in any way that that if that's represented, that that's a good insight.”

We decided

market-analyst-c11-D1 Mark Peterson stays ciso-advisory; perspective tagging and a declared call type keep his conviction from reading as customer validation. — Mark Parson

So now

A use case counts as proven only when two outside companies back it from real use, in their own words.

Thanks to

People outside Qpoint first. Every thank-you points at something they said or made.

His CFO's question was advisor evidence the new rules let through

Cited: the record says his Sep 3 ask for AI spend broken down by department, driven by his CFO, landed as first-hand evidence, while the team's own claims in the same call were capped. His Aug 31 and Sep 3 calls were also the test cases the profiles were built on.

“Our CFO in terms of, like, you know, tokens cost, like, she's trying to rationalize spend all the time, and actually, cost is attributed to department... it's like, in any way that that if that's represented, that that's a good insight.” first-hand

Mark Parson
Qpoint team

Asked to be explicit about the meeting, and to keep it simple

Cited: his five messages in the initial prompt set the cycle (treat these as team meetings, don't mistake a teammate's view for the customer's, be explicit about the nature of the meeting, small concessions only), and he ruled Mark Peterson stays an advisor.
