Find gaps and contradictions in our knowledge

What you get

A check of what your documents say about one topic, in four parts:

• Contradictions: places where two documents give different rules or figures for the same thing. Each one quotes both statements, names both documents and, when both documents carry a date, says which document is newer. If a document has no date, Sasha says so.
• Gaps: questions about the topic that your documents do not answer.
• Possibly out of date: documents that another document says must be updated, or that a newer dated document changes.
• Sources: every document that Sasha read.

Use it before you rely on a policy, or after a meeting that changed a rule, to see which documents still need to be updated.

Before you start

You need access to the project that holds the documents. From Claude, Sasha checks only what you can reach, so another person can get a different result for the same topic. Sasha finds documents by the words in them, so a document that uses other words can be missed.

Name one topic and the project, for example "parental leave in our policies project". A narrow topic gives a clearer result than a broad one.

Start it

From Claude

Connect Claude to your Sasha first (Connect Claude to your Sasha). Then choose Find gaps and contradictions in our knowledge from the prompt menu. Type the topic and the project.

What Sasha does

1. Lists the documents in the project you named, including the documents in its folders.
2. Searches the project for your topic and for other words that your documents use for it. The search matches the words as typed, ignoring case.
3. Reads each document that matches, to the end, and any related document that one of them names.
4. Compares what the documents say about the topic, and finds the date written in each document, such as a review date or a meeting date.
5. Lists each contradiction with both statements quoted and both documents named. When both documents carry a date, says which one is newer. If a document has no date, says so.
6. Lists the questions that the documents leave open, and the documents that another document says are out of date or that a newer dated document changes.
7. Never decides which statement is correct, even when one document is newer.

Check the result

• Open both documents for each contradiction and confirm that the quoted statements are there, word for word.
• Ask the owner of the topic which statement is correct, and update the other document.
• If Sasha misses a document that you know is about the topic, ask again and name the document, or use the words that the document uses.
• To answer one question from your policies, use Answer a question from our own policies and procedures, with citations. For a broad summary of a topic, use Find what we already know about a topic, with sources.
