A useful garment knowledge assistant needs more than a folder of comments. Retrieval depends on a shared structure that reflects how development work is actually recalled.
A practical record can include product category, design feature, buyer context, sample stage, issue type, evidence source, observed symptom, proposed action, validated result, confidence and confidentiality class.
The validation field is essential. Historical activity may be useful even when the result is unknown, but the system must not present a proposal as proven guidance.
The long-term opportunity is a human-in-the-loop tool: it retrieves relevant precedent, exposes the evidence trail and helps a technical professional reason faster. Final judgment remains with the responsible person.
