# KnitKnot Changelog: August 2026

August tightened the path from evidence to action: stronger reports and briefs, a way to find missing buyer pages, and clearer competitive results.

- Evidence-bound reports and briefs: Reports and playbook briefs now keep factual instructions tied to admitted, exact evidence. When that material is incomplete, the work stays research-required instead of presenting an unsupported recommendation as ready to ship. The record separates completed work and observed movement from claims it cannot yet prove.

- Discovery Playbooks for missing buyer pages: Discovery Playbooks look for missing table-stakes coverage in your own content: head-to-head comparisons, alternatives pages, and category roundups. Existing pages that genuinely cover the same buyer intent are excluded, so a related guide is not mistaken for a complete answer.

- A complete head-to-head view for every benchmark: The benchmark-period view now includes a full head-to-head table rather than limiting the comparison to a handful of competitors. Search, sort, and open a competitor record directly from the table, with the win-rate definition kept explicit.

- Query Fan Out enters early access: Query Fan Out is an early-access snapshot for a captured benchmark run. It groups exposed retrieval queries by topic and content need, while keeping the prompt and execution receipt behind each group. It shows what the benchmark captured—not search volume, market demand, or a trend.

Evidence-bound reports and briefs

Reports and playbook briefs now keep factual instructions tied to admitted, exact evidence. When that material is incomplete, the work stays research-required instead of presenting an unsupported recommendation as ready to ship. The record separates completed work and observed movement from claims it cannot yet prove.

Discovery Playbooks for missing buyer pages

Discovery Playbooks look for missing table-stakes coverage in your own content: head-to-head comparisons, alternatives pages, and category roundups. Existing pages that genuinely cover the same buyer intent are excluded, so a related guide is not mistaken for a complete answer.
