Your organisation does not need more content. It needs knowledge it can trust.
Knowva exists because the two obvious answers — another knowledge base, or an AI assistant pointed at everything — both fail at the same point: nobody can tell whether the answer is right.
From knowledge management to Organisational Intelligence.
Governing knowledge assets
A document has a filename and a last-edited date. A knowledge asset has an owner, a validation state, a review cycle and a place in the organisation's structure.
Grounded answers with evidence
Search returns candidates and leaves the judgement to the reader. Knowva answers from approved knowledge and shows the sources behind the answer.
Organisational capability
Expertise held by one person is a dependency. Once captured, structured and verified, it becomes something the organisation owns.
AI you can check
Every score, recommendation and answer carries the inputs behind it, so a reviewer can reproduce the reasoning rather than accept it.
Three approaches, one question: can you defend the answer?
| Knowledge base / wiki | Generic AI assistant | Knowva | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Not addressed | Not addressed | Designated knowledge owners per domain |
| Validation | Manual editing conventions | Not addressed | Draft → in review → verified → approved |
| Retrieval scope | Whatever is indexed | Whatever is indexed | Approved knowledge the user is permitted to see |
| Missing evidence | No result | Plausible guess | Declines and records the knowledge gap |
| Risk visibility | Not addressed | Not addressed | Dependency, ownership gaps, successor readiness |
| Explainability | Not addressed | Not addressed | Reproducible explanation for every signal |
| Audit trail | Page history | Not addressed | Validation, review and AI interaction records |
The rules the product will not break.
These constraints are enforced in the platform, not stated as intent.
Evidence or nothing
If the approved corpus cannot support an answer, the Coach says so instead of filling the gap.
Humans hold authority
Knowva surfaces and prioritises. Owners verify and administrators approve.
Nothing unexplained
Scores are deterministic and inspectable, not opaque model output.
Least privilege by default
Retrieval is scoped by tenant, role and validation state on every request.
