How to read KRIP
with confidence.

KRIP is designed so you always know where a number came from and how much to trust it. This guide explains the conventions you will see throughout the platform.

Getting started — the KRIP philosophy

KRIP is built on one principle: it never manufactures intelligence. Every figure is either a recorded fact, a documented calculation, or a clearly labeled simulation. When KRIP cannot answer something, it tells you what it would need rather than guessing. As you use KRIP, that honesty is your guarantee that what you see is real.

Maturity badges

Every capability in KRIP carries a badge telling you whether it is live, in preview, or planned.

● Ready

Live, backed by real data. You can rely on it for decisions.

Preview

The capability works, but is currently running on sample or simulation data. Clearly labeled, for demonstration.

Roadmap

Planned and designed, not yet active. Shown so you can see what is coming and what it needs.

Understanding intelligence

KRIP distinguishes three kinds of statement, and shows them differently so you are never misled about certainty.

Historical facts

Recorded business events — yesterday's revenue, units sold, stock received. Shown at full precision. The truth of the past.

Predictions

AI estimates of the future — demand, churn, stockout risk. Shown rounded with a tilde (~) and a confidence level, because a forecast is a range, not a fact.

Recommendations

Suggested actions, each with the evidence behind it, a confidence level, and the limitations of what was considered. You decide; KRIP advises.

The AI violet rule

Violet (purple) elements always represent AI-generated forecasts, insights, and recommendations. If something is violet, it is the machine's inference — not a recorded fact. This single rule lets you tell, at a glance, what KRIP knows from what KRIP predicts.
