HandbookBrain: a company brain that knows why every rule exists (built on FalkorDB)

Description and use

HandbookBrain provides a single source of truth for decisions, enabling accurate answers, impact analysis, and automated documentation updates, thereby eliminating issues caused by stale rules.

Problem

Business rules change faster than documentation, causing downstream systems, dashboards, and answers to become inconsistent.

Outcome

HandbookBrain provides a single source of truth for decisions, enabling accurate answers, impact analysis, and automated documentation updates, reducing silent failures caused by stale rules.

Workflow

• 1. Capture decisions from meetings, chats, or tickets with speaker and verbatim quote.
• 2. Link each decision to the section it concerns and to the commit that implements it via diff analysis.
• 3. Store document sections as versioned nodes that supersede previous ones with validity timestamps.
• 4. Record answers as nodes citing exact section versions, enabling detection of broken answers when sections change.
• 5. Query the graph to trace a section back to its decision, meeting, and implementing commit.
• 6. Identify answers affected by a change and re-validate or re-answer them.
• 7. Detect other documents and owners that rely on changed sections and draft documentation updates for approval.

Evidence

Business rules change all the time. A lead-scoring threshold moves, a Deal Desk check is added, a partner renewal rule flips.

Source

Search finds a document. Maya's question is a path: meeting → decision → who decided → the change that implemented it → the section version that changed → everything that depended on it.
