Ask in any department — no one will answer
1 What to do
Ask Claude Code, in the knowledge base folder, the question "Who signs the $60,000 contract?" and get one answer with links to documents.
3 What you will see
The work chat of a fictional company: a newcomer's question "Who signs the $60,000 contract?" and four different answers from colleagues. Then the terminal: one Claude answer and three links to documents.

What is known from 14 case studies
1 What to do
Look at what is known from 14 published case studies of AI knowledge bases: others first write the questions and clean the data before the model, and the source checks the permissions.
3 What you will see
The lesson checklist: six items appear one at a time; caption "we'll build it in order".

Stage 1/6 · Export, don't connect
1 What to do
Don't connect the model to the systems, but export a folder from each: wiki, drive, task tracker, chat. Next to each spreadsheet or PDF, put its text: the same name plus .md.

Stage 2/6 · What we don't give the model
1 What to do
Before the model's first answers, check the export: what is open to the wrong people, where the secrets and personal data are. Remove the salary file and the channel with a guest from the base entirely, clean out and rotate the keys, remove personal data.

Stage 3/6 · Registry: whose document and what date
1 What to do
Create a registry, one row per document: where it's from, title, owner, date, status (in force, draft, superseded). Flag everything not edited for over a year as "review", and for departed owners — "no".

Stage 4/6 · Signed outranks working
1 What to do
Write five precedence rules for the model: signed outranks working; of two versions — the newer; a copy and a retelling are not a source; if there is no decision — both answers and who decides; the same file name is not yet the same document. Ask the same question again.

Stage 5/6 · A summary for each document, and topics
1 What to do
Ask Claude to write a summary for each document and topic pages that say which document outranks which and why. The model does not edit the originals; summaries and topics are rebuilt entirely from the originals.

Stage 6/6 · 40 questions before and after
1 What to do
Run 40 control questions over the raw exports (A) and over the base with the registry, rules, summaries, and topics (B): one model, three runs each, the median. Count an answer only if its quote is in the file it refers to.

Where MCP is still needed
1 What to do
Decide between a folder and live access (MCP). MCP is needed in three cases: the source is live and constantly changing; permissions must be checked against the account of the person asking; the data cannot be copied.
3 What you will see
A "folder or live access" diagram: three conditions light up one by one — "the source is live and changing", "permissions — by the account of the person asking", "cannot be copied"; a badge "MCP — the model's live access to a system".

Honestly: where this breaks
1 What to do
Know where this breaks: a full rebuild gets more expensive as the base grows; what lives in one person's head, the model won't see; a question set is never finished — if a document or rule changes, run it again.
3 What you will see
The "where it breaks" list: the item "full rebuild" and the caption "for others — every night".

Homework: find the contradictions in your own files
1 What to do
Export one of your own document folders, run the contradiction-search skill from the kit, and check the list: every row has two files and a quote.
3 What you will see
The homework list of three actions: "export a folder", "run the skill", "check: two files and a quote"; then the skill's table from block 3 with the caption "no documents of your own — the company from the kit · threshold 9 of 12".
Homework
Export one of your own document folders. Run the contradiction-search skill from the kit. Check the list: every row has two files and a quote. No documents of your own — take the fictional company from the kit and run the 40 questions; the threshold is 9 of 12 traps.
Write in the comments how many contradictions you found in your own files.
