Does Bildstak cite its sources, and how accurate is it?
Yes. Every answer Bildstak gives cites the source records it drew from — system, record ID, and where relevant, the timestamp or version. Citation is not optional; it is built into the query model so every figure can be traced back to its origin.
In construction, a figure without a source is a liability. Cost numbers, programme dates and RFI counts that cannot be traced back to a source record have no weight in a dispute, no credibility in a board report, and no value in a claim package. Bildstak is designed around this principle: every answer is cited.
What citation means in Bildstak: - A cost figure cites the SAP or Maconomy line item it came from, including the journal reference and date. - An RFI count cites the Procore or Aconex query that produced it, with the filter criteria shown. - A schedule date cites the Primavera P6 activity ID and the baseline or current programme version. - A specification reference cites the document, section and page number. - A BIM-related answer cites the IFC GlobalID of the element(s) involved.
Why this matters beyond accuracy: Citation makes Bildstak's outputs usable in high-stakes contexts. A project director can share a risk summary knowing the team can drill down to the source. A commercial manager can use a Claims Builder output as the basis for a formal submission because every figure traces to a named record. An owner can interrogate a programme report without having to trust that someone's export is current.
Bildstak does not hallucinate source records: if a query returns no matching data, it says so. The model is designed to return 'no data found' rather than produce a plausible-sounding figure without backing.
