The Product: ReshapeX Knowledge Grounding Layer

THE PRODUCT

# How the knowledge grounding layer actually works.

Standard approaches ceiling near 80% on real industrial questions. The layer, the harness, and the evals are how you get the rest of the way to 99.9%.

A graph-based structure of your catalog, specs, and docs, built at build time, reached through a purpose-built tool harness, kept current with continuous sync. This is the architecture underneath every agent, and what it takes off your team’s plate.

What happens when the exact same query goes to a frontier model instead.

Frontier LLM · no grounding

LLM alone

**Fluent, instant, and never checked.** The model has read the internet, not the catalog. It produces the most plausible-looking SKU, and plausible is where the risk lives.

Frontier LLM · with web search

Result · category landing pageResult · 400-page series PDFResult · site configurator (JavaScript, not renderable)

LLM + search

**Honest, but not an answer.** Search finds the right neighborhood, then hands the real work back to your customer: open the configurator, pick material, coating, tolerance, hope you clicked right.

APPS

## Two applications built on the layer.

GRID

Applications Engineering

Paste a thousand-line BOM or a competitor list. GRID resolves every line against your catalog: cross-references, substitutes, price, stock.

*   01Cross-reference resolution
*   02Substitute & compatibility checks
*   03Price and stock lookups

DESK

Customer Support

Every request arrives with order history, pricing rules, datasheets, and a drafted answer already attached.

KNOWLEDGE CAPTURE

## Your experts' knowledge, captured once — answerable forever.

The exceptions a twenty-year veteran keeps in their head are the first thing a model gets wrong and the first thing you lose when they retire.

1.  ### Capture
    
    PDFs with merged cells, line cards with tribal footnotes, price books with a decade of exceptions — structured into a knowledge graph at build time, not guessed at query time.
    
2.  ### Retain
    
    Drive configurations, fieldbus compatibility, firmware revisions, approved substitutes, discontinued parts: the hard-won answers stay in the layer when the person who knew them moves on.
    
3.  ### Reuse
    
    Every agent — inside sales, applications engineering, support — answers from the same captured layer, cites the catalog line or spec page it used, and escalates when confidence is low.
    

Continuous sync keeps the captured knowledge current as your catalog, pricing, and specs change.
