One brief, measured

Energy due diligence, Gulf. October 2026.

A brief that had already been run by hand, over weeks, to a list of 20. We ran it again from the brief file alone: no coding session, no steering, one key.

The engine surfaced 544 people, removed 267 by rule, read 277 pages in full and kept 18. 16 were listed and 2 held in reserve. 7 of the hand-built 20 were listed again; 7 were turned down on reading, each with the reason written out; 3 never surfaced. It also found 10 people the hand-built list had missed.

No person is named here. The report stays with the client. The figures are from the engine's own ledger, run on 2026-10-04.

A Chief Financial Officer search on fourteen invented people: the deck, the ranked list, each record as a page, the printed report. The people are fictional; the method is exactly what runs on yours.
