What CoreOfDiscovery Is And Is Not

This document is the single source of truth for product positioning. The `/what-we-do` page renders this file so marketing, sales, product, and docs do not drift.

What CoreOfDiscovery Is

A decision-quality second opinion that lives alongside the tools you already use. We do not replace your ERP, CRM, or project tracker. We help you make better calls inside them.
A calibration trainer that turns "I had a feeling about this" into measurable judgment over time. We use Brier scoring, the same math superforecasters use, to show whether your gut is actually well-tuned.
A shared decision memory for your team. When you log a decision, your teammates can see the reasoning, learn from outcomes, and avoid making the same mistakes twice.
An AI agent integration layer. Agents can call decision intelligence through HTTP, MCP, and x402 payment flows.
A transparent system. Every score should have a "Why this number?" path. Every AI-generated suggestion is badged. Every decision input is logged immutably.

What CoreOfDiscovery Is Not

Not a procurement optimization platform. If you need to allocate 1,000 line items across multiple suppliers with MOQs and contract tiers, you want Coupa, Ariba, Jaggaer, or Ivalua. We score the decision to approve their run.
Not an MRP or inventory optimizer. Your ERP already does that. We score whether to approve or override its recommendation.
Not a public prediction market. Metaculus, Manifold, and Good Judgment Open run those. We use the same calibration math privately for you and your team.
Not investment, legal, or medical advice. We help frame decisions. We do not make them for you.
Not a workflow automation tool. Zapier, Make, and n8n handle that. We slot into workflows as a checkpoint, not a replacement.
Not an auto-decision black box. We always show our work. You always make the final call.
Not a data vault. We do not store raw ERP records long term. We read them at decision time, score, and let your source systems stay the system of record.
