Business problem first
Recommendations begin with the workflow, pain point, and outcome instead of a popular tool name.
Methodology
How SeekSmart recommends AI paths
SeekSmart's first intelligence layer is deliberately structured: taxonomy, editorial review, and explainable rules before any model-powered automation.
0
Model calls in current recommendations
Explainable scoring
Fit is based on transparent signals like effort, risk, cost, team size, and time to value.
Editorial review
Listings and recommendations should be reviewed, updated, and marked with clear trust signals.
No model dependency
The first recommendation system is rules-based and structured, not a chatbot wrapped around a model.
Scoring dimensions
Recommendations should be useful because the reasoning is visible. These dimensions will become the base for the rules-based audit.
