Project-owned sample · reference snapshot 2026-08-31
A fit report
you can inspect.
This concrete example applies the USD 250 sprint format to Local Knowledge Terminal's own documented reference collection. It shows the three deliverables before you share any customer material.
Evidence boundary: this is not a customer result, testimonial, benchmark, sale, or claim of a paid engagement.
Decision summary
GO, with a bounded scope.
The existing structured records fit LKT's local exact and lexical retrieval plus cited-card workflow on the current Raspberry Pi 5 8 GB target. The useful first proof is a browser card backed by one retrieved record and its stored provenance.
Do not expand this decision to image-only PDFs, custom OCR, unreviewed rights, hardware supply, or production operations. Those require a separate scope.
Deliverable 01
Collection, privacy, and citation map.
The public proof uses five reviewed exports. Full books, images, model weights, generated indexes, and editorial queues remain outside the public repository.
| Collection export | Records | Runtime treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Word Origins | 6,994 | Exact headword and lexical FTS5 |
| Book of Answers | 318 | Deterministic query-seeded draw |
| Book of Questions | 291 | Multilingual FTS5 and deterministic fallback |
| English Root Dictionary | 6,327 | Exact headword and morphology FTS5 |
| English Affix Dictionary | 5,189 | Exact headword and morphology FTS5 |
| Total | 19,119 | Five local indexes, approximately 5.8 MB |
What remains local
- Private source files and generated indexes.
- Model weights and runtime state.
- Editorial workspaces and review queues.
What a citation retains
- Corpus and record identifiers.
- Source title, excerpt, and page when present.
- The indexed-file hash used for retrieval.
Deliverable 02
Representative browser proof.
These reviewable captures use the current card contract. A paid sprint would instead use only a small, customer-approved sample after rights, format, privacy, readers, language goal, and existing hardware pass the free fit check.
Deliverable 03
A written go/no-go boundary.
Go when
- You control the bounded source and have the right to use it.
- Text is already extractable or structured.
- A representative sample can be reviewed.
- The goal is a small cited browser proof on an existing machine.
- One language goal and reader group can be stated clearly.
No-go or separate scope
- Source rights are unclear.
- The material is mainly scanned images requiring custom OCR.
- The request is an unbounded migration or production platform.
- Shipped hardware, uptime commitments, or a production SLA are required.
- The sample needs an unapproved handling environment.
The fixed paid scope
One collection. Three bounded artifacts. USD 250.
After a positive free fit check, the sprint delivers a written data, citation, and privacy map; a small browser proof from a usable representative sample; and a written go/no-go decision. Hardware, shipping, custom OCR, and production deployment are excluded.
Reproduce the public checks
python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
python -m compileall -q lkt tests
The tests cover indexing, retrieval, provenance, preparation, model boundaries, storage, outputs, and the browser service. They demonstrate the public implementation; they do not substitute for checking a customer's actual sample.
