How Does Sasha Know?

Understanding Where Sasha's Knowledge Comes From

Three Sources of Knowledge

Sasha draws intelligence from three distinct sources, each contributing different types of knowledge:

Source 1: Your Organization's Documents

This is how Sasha learns about YOU.

Sasha can study documents from your organization - files on network drives, shared folders, uploaded documents - and derive understanding from them.

What Sasha Can Access

What Sasha Learns

Sasha doesn't just search your documents - she understands them:

From your past projects, Sasha learns:

• What approaches worked and what didn't
• Typical timelines and resource requirements
• Patterns that predict success

From your client work, Sasha learns:

• Industry-specific terminology and requirements
• Pricing models and engagement structures
• Client preferences and relationship history

From your internal documents, Sasha learns:

• How your organization operates
• Your specific methodologies and standards
• Team expertise and who knows what

Example: Learning Your Pricing

Source 2: Built-In Expertise

This is how Sasha knows professional best practices.

Sasha comes pre-loaded with enterprise-grade methodologies developed over years of professional consulting. This knowledge applies to everything Sasha does, regardless of your specific organization.

Even on day one - before Sasha has learned anything about your organization - you get professional-grade assistance. The built-in expertise ensures:

• Documentation looks professionally designed
• Analysis follows proven methodologies
• Recommendations consider industry standards
• Quality meets enterprise expectations

Source 3: Conversation Context

This is how Sasha understands your immediate needs.

Within each conversation, Sasha builds understanding of:

• What you're working on - the specific project or task
• What you've already discussed - previous questions and answers
• What you're trying to achieve - your goals for this interaction
• Your preferences - how you like information presented

How Context Builds

Message 1: "I need to analyze this contract"

• Sasha knows: You're doing contract analysis

Message 2: "Focus on the liability clauses"

• Sasha knows: Contract analysis, specifically liability

Message 3: "Compare it to the Johnson contract from last year"

• Sasha knows: Contract analysis, liability focus, with historical comparison

Each message adds context, making responses more relevant and specific.

How Knowledge Combines

When you ask Sasha a question, all three sources work together:

Your Question: "How should we price this healthcare project?"

Conversation Context contributes:

• This is a healthcare project
• You mentioned it's similar to the Williams engagement
• The client is mid-sized

Your Organization's Documents contribute:

• Past healthcare project pricing
• The Williams engagement details
• Your standard pricing models

Built-In Expertise contributes:

• Healthcare industry considerations
• Value-based pricing frameworks
• Risk factors to consider

Sasha's Response: A specific pricing recommendation that reflects your organization's history, considers industry standards, and addresses the particular client situation.

Adding Knowledge to Sasha

Immediate: Upload Documents

Drop files directly into Sasha for immediate analysis:

• Contracts for review
• Reports for summarization
• Data for analysis

Project-Based: Organize by Context

Create projects with relevant documents:

• All files for a specific client
• Research for a particular initiative
• Historical records for reference

Organization-Wide: Connect Network Drives

Mount shared drives so Sasha can access:

• Years of institutional knowledge
• Cross-project patterns
• Organization-wide standards

Knowledge Over Time

Sasha's understanding of your organization deepens with use:

Week 1: Basic document access and terminology understanding

Month 1: Pattern recognition across projects and clients

Month 3: Predictive insights based on historical data

Month 6: Deep institutional knowledge with nuanced recommendations

Year 1+: Comprehensive organizational intelligence that rivals senior staff memory

What Sasha Doesn't Know

Sasha's knowledge has clear boundaries:

No access without permission: Sasha only knows documents you've shared or connected

No external data: Sasha doesn't browse the internet or access external databases

No memory between organizations: Each Sasha instance is isolated - your knowledge stays yours

No guessing: When Sasha doesn't know something, she says so rather than making things up

The Result

When users say Sasha "just knows" things, it's because:

1. Built-in expertise provides professional-grade foundations
2. Your documents provide organization-specific knowledge
3. Conversation context provides immediate relevance
4. All three combine into responses that feel like talking to an expert colleague who understands your organization

This isn't magic - it's structured knowledge architecture that makes decades of expertise instantly accessible.
