Scout — Downstream Consumers And Project Relationships

Last Updated: 2026-06-29

Scout is the acquisition and evidence layer. It should not become every consuming product's analysis brain.

Scout acquires, structures, cites, and exports evidence. Consumers interpret and decide.

Consumers

Consumer How it uses Scout Scout feature consumed Boundary
PRISM Acquires prospect/company/search-audit evidence before Hermes coaching and sales interpretation. /scrape, /structure, /harvest, artifacts, citations, company/news/careers/investor evidence. PRISM interprets and coaches; Scout does not generate sales strategy.
Competitive Intelligence Uses Scout as one collector in the router when richer acquisition metadata beats direct HTTP or RSS. Shared /scrape, raw/clean markdown, quality score, marker validation, collector recommendation, benchmark artifacts. CI owns source strategy, signal scoring, daily/weekly reports, and dashboard decisions.
Algolia Search Audit Uses Scout as acquisition support for company, investor, hiring, news, social, and industry evidence. HTTP API, skill backend, source artifacts, browser/user-session capture where appropriate. Audit modules interpret evidence into Algolia sales findings and report sections.
Product/catalog workflows Converts ecommerce category/product evidence into records for search and export. /products, product records, citations, JSON/JSONL/CSV/SQLite/Sheets/Algolia export. Search teams decide indexing policy and merchandising rules.
Job hunter workflows Captures careers pages and ATS/job evidence for matching and scoring. careers/jobs records, ATS evidence, run artifacts, citations. Matching, outreach, and application strategy stay downstream.
Scout website Educates private beta testers and routes them into local, Docker, hosted API, and skill usage. /, /quickstart, /guide, /examples, /pricing, /status, /beta, /legal. Website copy must follow launch evidence and cannot claim public launch readiness.

Current Claim Boundaries

  • Private beta is ready with limits.
  • Public launch is blocked.
  • Legacy /app UI is not a launch surface.
  • Hard-site/browser capture is a beta capability, not a guaranteed bypass.
  • Intelligence verticals should be claimed from validation reports feature by feature, not from route existence alone.
