Questions about my work, in English or French, answered from what is actually on this site.

Rather than reading six case studies to find out whether I have shipped anything in your sector, ask. The assistant has the whole site in front of it: every case study, every journal post, and a short file of facts I keep current. Use the button in the corner.

How it works

There is no search step. The entire site goes into the model's context on every question, cached between messages so it stays cheap. That is an unusual choice, and it is a deliberate one: retrieval systems answer from whichever three paragraphs they happened to pull, which is how you get confident answers built on the wrong page. This one reads everything, every time.

It is told to separate what the site says from what it worked out on its own. If it connects two facts into a claim I never made, it has to say so rather than present the inference as mine. When it has nothing, it says so and points you at my email instead of producing something plausible.

It will not tell you whether I am right for your role. It can describe what I have done; predicting how I would perform somewhere it knows nothing about is not something a portfolio should pretend to do. For that, email me at loic@loicsans.com.

What is recorded

Questions are recorded, with the date and nothing else. No address, no identifier, no way to group one person's questions together, so a stored line cannot be traced back to whoever wrote it. I read them to find out what the site keeps failing to explain. They are deleted after three months.

Ask the archive

Grounded in this site’s case studies and journal. It says when it doesn’t know. Questions are recorded so Loïc can see what the site fails to answer. Nothing else is stored.
