What it does
Tell it what you are trying to get done. It points you at a page here, a model we hold a record for, a free service with a phone number, or at nobody at all.
Everything it points at is checked before you see it. If it invents a page, we drop it and tell you we did.
It will not tell you one model beats another. We have not tested them, and neither has anyone who says otherwise with a straight face.
Why it can point at nobody
Plenty of jobs are quicker with a pen and four minutes. A recommender that cannot say so is a funnel with manners.
If it does tell you to do it yourself, take it seriously. It had every opportunity to sell you something and passed.
Where it gets its answers
Pages come from this site. Models come from the registry, with the date we wrote them down. People come from the same free services the decision tool names.
Everything else it might have said got dropped on the way here, and you are told how much.
