Design partner alpha

Marrow is for people whose professional identity is source-rich, nuanced, and hard for generic AI to represent accurately. The alpha is a focused proof sprint around real work, real evidence, and real voice.

Who this is for.

The strongest partners have high-value professional identities where generic AI loses the evidence, nuance, or voice that makes the work specific.

1

Source-rich work

Projects, writing, research, founder material, public talks, publications, repositories, or case notes.

2

Nuanced representation

Work that generic AI tends to flatten, overstate, or describe without the right caveats.

3

Trust-sensitive output

Profiles, bios, proposals, applications, or agent answers where evidence and restraint matter.

What the alpha includes.

The sprint is narrow on purpose. Marrow stores and retrieves the source-backed corpus; products and agents decide what to generate or render.

Build a small source corpus

Use selected files, writing samples, project notes, and public links rather than a large archive.

source packet
  - CV, profile, or about page
  - 2-5 writing samples
  - 2-5 project notes
  - public links or publications
  - one target output prompt

Generate evidence-backed outputs

Create one professional output and one writing-style output, then compare them against generic AI output.

Marrow retrieves:
  - source notes
  - claims and entities
  - style observations
  - provenance
  - correction boundaries

Review evidence and corrections

Inspect which records supported the output, then accept, narrow, reject, or correct claims.

review result
  accepted claim
  narrowed claim
  unsupported claim
  missing nuance
  durable correction

What is out of scope.

This is not a finished dashboard. The alpha does not include a public lookup profile, a general assistant, or autonomous write-back. Those may become product surfaces later, but the current sprint tests whether the source-backed corpus is useful and trustworthy.

No public profile lookup

Private source material stays private unless the partner chooses what to share.

No autonomous writes

Corrections become durable records only after review and acceptance.

No archive import

The sprint starts with a small source packet instead of a large historical dump.

No dashboard promise

The first proof path is CLI/API-first so the data contract is real before UI work.

How outputs are evaluated.

The useful evidence is not only whether an output sounds polished. The useful evidence is whether the person trusts it more because they can inspect why it said what it said.

Accuracy

Important claims are correct, scoped, and backed by source records.

Specificity

The output preserves the work's concrete projects, artifacts, judgment, and outcomes.

Voice

The writing uses style evidence without inventing new facts.

Corrections

Accepted edits become durable source-backed updates instead of hidden prompt memory.

Trust questions we want answered.

These questions decide whether Marrow should become a deeper product relationship, not just a useful demo.

Traceability

Does seeing evidence change whether the partner trusts the output?

Privacy

Which claims should be public, private, cited, summarized, or withheld?

Evolution

Do partners want corrections and new evidence to improve the corpus over time?

Attestation

Which claims would benefit from a coworker, client, collaborator, or institution confirming them?

The strongest signal is trust.

A good design partner should be able to say: this represents me better than generic AI, I understand why it said that, and I want to keep improving the corpus.
