Each decision has a Notes tab. Each workspace has a shared Knowledge section built the same way. Browsing notes: opening one, following a link and searching

What a note is

A note has a title, Markdown text, sources, and optionally attached .md, .txt or .csv files. There is one kind of note.

Linking

  • Link notes with [[Title]] (not case-sensitive). A note page lists its sources, the variables that cite it, incoming links and outgoing links.
  • Keep variable descriptions short. One sentence plus “See [[note]]”, 240 characters at most. Put the evidence and reasoning in the note.
  • A decision note beats a workspace note of the same title.

Writing notes automatically

Saving an estimate with web sources, or accepting a research proposal, writes the evidence note for you.

Workspace notes

Workspace notes show Used in decisions. Renaming a note rewrites links in other notes, but not in variable text already saved in a model version.
Editing notes or descriptions does not make saved runs out of date.
