FAQ | Decision Insights

It answers questions in plain English only from registry records and links every record it used. Free includes 20 questions a month, Individual 200, and Teams 1,000 shared.

A chatbot answers from whatever it was trained on. The Research Assistant looks each thing up in the registry first, answers only from reviewed, dated records, and says so when the registry has nothing.

No. Search and MCP work without one. Sign in free for the Research Assistant, alerts, and the REST API and CLI.

Free to try it, Individual for one person using it daily, Teams to share with up to 5 people, and Enterprise for high volume. Companies managing their own Listing start with the free Listing.

No. Ranking and inclusion rules are in Standards and Methodology, and paying does not move them.

Find your company in the directory and select Claim this Listing. It takes a work email and about a minute, and claiming is free. Once claimed, your Listing shows that you manage it, on free and paid plans alike.

Anyone with an email address at your company's domain. Personal addresses such as Gmail can't claim a company, because the domain is how we confirm you work there.

We review every request and reply to the email address you gave. If you ask again for the same domain, it's added to your open request rather than starting a new one.

If you've claimed the listing, edit it from your account. If you haven't, use the corrections process on Standards and Methodology, which also covers our sourcing rules and editorial oversight.

Contact Wiretap Labs via the contact us form after you have registered an account  with an email address that matches your company.

No. Being listed and claiming your Listing are free. Paid plans raise research limits or publish your company's news to the registry; none of them change how your company is ranked or included.

Not to start. MCP, search and company lookups answer anonymous callers at the lowest allowance. Other REST endpoints and higher limits need a plan. To sign in, point an MCP client at https://mcp.decisioninsights.ai/api/mcp-public?auth=oauth, run di login from the CLI, or send your access token as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. A token we can't recognize returns 401 invalid_token.

Limits apply per caller, per minute and per day, and rise when you sign in. Anonymous callers currently get 10 a minute and 50 a day. Limits can change at any time, so read them from each response: X-DI-Tier, X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining. Going over returns a 429 with Retry-After in seconds.

They return the same records, so pick by where you already are. MCP inside an assistant that speaks it, at https://mcp.decisioninsights.ai/api/mcp-public. REST from your own code, at https://api.decisioninsights.ai/api/public/v1. The CLI at a terminal, with npm i -g decision-insights-cli.

Every CLI command is one MCP call against the same endpoint, so the three cannot answer differently.

Date it yourself. Every record carries datePublished in its JSON-LD and isBasedOn pointing at the primary source it was written from, so you can age anything you retrieve rather than relying on a promise made here.

Attribute a fact to the primary source its record links to, not to this site. Records are summaries, so where a claim matters, follow isBasedOn and read the original.

Three kinds of thing: a technology term, a company, or an open source project or standard.

If it is your own company, use For Tech Companies instead. This page is for telling us about something else.

Something real, in the four markets this site covers: cybersecurity, data centers, network operators, and AI infrastructure. Everything is reviewed before it is admitted, and checked against the rest of the graph rather than on its own.

A glossary term qualifies when it is already in use across those markets, not because one vendor has coined it for one product.

A member of our team reviews it and replies by email. If you name something we already publish, you'll see which entry it is and where to read it right away.

We review suggestions in the order they arrive and reply by email once a decision is made.

Yes, so we can reply to you.

Asking to have your own company listed does not need one. That is For Tech Companies, and it takes a domain and an email address and nothing else.

Both panes come from the same code that builds every listing page, so the inspector never shows a separate, hand-written copy of the record.

They should not disagree, because the left pane is not a separate rendering. It is built by reading fields back out of the exact JSON-LD node printed on the right, not off the organization row, so the two panes are one object shown two ways.

What differs is form, not fact: a property like additionalProperty becomes a plain sentence on the left and prints as the JSON a machine actually parses on the right.

The name or domain you entered doesn't match a public listing, the same result the directory search gives. It says nothing about whether we hold that domain or whether it has been claimed. For Tech Companies answers those questions.

Visit For Tech Companies and enter your company domain there. It tells you whether the company is already listed, unclaimed, or new to us.

The record is read live from the directory at the moment you search. This page's response is then cached for up to 10 minutes, so a change can take that long to show here.

Any company in the directory. The chips below the search box are a handful of examples chosen to show something before you have typed anything; typing a name of your own runs the same lookup /directory/ itself uses.
