Quick AnswersWhat is Learning Nodes?Learning Nodes is a collaborative decision workspace where Business Questions are turned into validated, accountable Decision Records. It uses a three-phase workflow: ASK (define), DECIDE (analyze), ACTIVATE (share).Do I need AI to use Learning Nodes?No. The product works fully without AI. Elen AI assistance is coming in Phase 2 and will be optional. Humans remain accountable for every decision.What's the difference between a BQ and a Decision Record?A Business Question (BQ) is the working process — editable, collaborative, iterative. A Decision Record is the frozen output — read-only, shareable, auditable. BQ = the work; Decision Record = the receipt.Can I edit a committed decision?No — Decision Records are immutable. To change a decision, use "Correct This Decision" which creates a new BQ and Decision Record, then links them via a supersedes edge. The original remains visible with a "Superseded" banner.What data formats are supported?CSV files (with SQL query support), plain text, pasted content, and database connections (admin-configured). Phase 2 will add PDF and DOCX support.Is my data secure?Yes. Sources are stored with your workspace. Database connections hide secrets from users. Decision Records can be shared without exposing working BQs. See Security & Compliance for details.
