Why ObsDog

A view count cannot tell you whether knowledge worked.

Traditional documentation tools show what exists. ObsDog shows how knowledge is discovered, connected, used, evaluated, and maintained in real work.

01

Blocks with lineage

Track nested authored blocks with stable IDs and immutable revisions.

See the model
02

Search you can inspect

Preserve keywords, phrases, exclusions, filters, rank signals, and explanations.

See the model
03

References you can trust

Separate authored links, AI-suggested relations, backlinks, and observed usage.

See the model
04

Health, not vanity

Surface noise, missing results, usefulness, freshness, and maintenance work.

Measurement model

Five states.
No convenient shortcuts.

Earlier observations never imply later ones. A block included in agent context is exposed, not used, until a source-bound action occurs.
