Ingestion

Definition

Ingestion is how content enters CoreStory's Knowledge Distribution Layer (Layer 3) for AI and human consumption. Not all content is equally ingestible: every artifact should carry an ingestionSafety classification of safe | restricted | unsafe, and ingestion pipelines must respect it.

Key properties

• Layer 3 responsibility: ingestion-safe content distribution, ontology rendering, audience segmentation, lifecycle-aware publication
• Classification schema:
• Safe grounding sources: canonical ontology, approved workflows, runtime inventories, reviewed architecture, governed operational procedures
• Contextual grounding sources (used with confidence penalties + provenance tracking): planning docs, brainstorming, meeting synthesis, proposed architecture
• Unsafe grounding sources (excluded from default ingestion): stale drafts, superseded docs, orphaned notes, experimental scratchpads

Schema

classification:
  audience: public|internal|restricted|hybrid
  trustLevel: low|medium|high
  lifecycle: draft|proposed|canonical|historical
  authority: runtime|governed|strategic|contextual
  ingestionSafety: safe|restricted|unsafe
