Knowledge is an organization-wide library of context documents (metric definitions, a business glossary, data quirks, and domain background) that Addison reads when it answers questions and builds reports. It fills the gaps that raw table and column names can’t: what a metric actually means, which rows to exclude, and how your business is structured. Documents you add here are shared across your organization, so every project benefits from the same context. They improve the quality of Addison’s results.
The Knowledge page at /knowledge, titled 'Knowledge' with the subtitle 'Shared business context, metrics, and definitions across your organization.' A toolbar has an All Files filter on the left and a Search icon, an + Import button, and a Create button on the right. Below, a document list with columns Name, Created by, Created on, and Last modified shows two folders (Business, Finance) and two Markdown files (AGENTS.md and memphis-grizzlies-knowledge.md, the latter created by Simon Hua). A dismissible 'Intro to Knowledge — Teach Addison about your business' card with a video sits at the bottom.

​
What to include

Good knowledge documents cover the things that aren’t obvious from the raw data: The more context you provide, the fewer corrections you’ll need to make later.

​
Find and open

Open Knowledge (/knowledge) from the left nav. The library lists every document and folder with its author and dates. Use the Search icon to find a document by name, or the All Files filter to narrow the list. Click a folder to open it, or a document to view and edit its contents.

​
Create a document or folder

Click Create (top-right) to add a new document and write context directly in Summation, or a new folder to group related documents (for example, a “Finance” folder for revenue and billing definitions). Documents are Markdown, so headings, lists, and tables all render.

​
Import documents

Already have context written down? Click + Import (top-right) for two ways to bring context in: upload existing Markdown (.md) files straight into the library, or copy an existing Markdown document over from one of your projects. This is the fastest way to bring an existing glossary or metrics doc into Summation.

​
Rename, copy, or delete

Hover a row (or right-click it) to open the ⋯ menu, then open it in a new tab, rename it, make a copy, or delete it. Keeping the library tidy and well-named helps Addison find the right context faster.

​
How Addison uses your knowledge

Without knowledge documents, Addison relies on table names, column names, and your catalog to interpret your data. Knowledge fills in the rest, so Addison reasons the way your team does:
  • “Revenue” resolves to net revenue after refunds, not gross
  • “Active user” means logged in within the last 30 days
  • “Region” codes expand to their full names (NA = North America, EMEA = Europe/Middle East/Africa)
  • Fiscal quarters follow your calendar, not the default January start
Because the library is shared organization-wide, this context applies everywhere Addison works — no need to re-teach it per project.
