CompoundLM™ · Continual query

Ask anything.
Grounded in project evidence.

CompoundLM is Background's on-demand query interface. Ask anything about your project — what happened, why it happened, what it means, what to do next. Every answer is grounded in the evidence that Background has accumulated on your project. Not a generic AI. A query layer over your own evidence.

The distinction

Not a generic AI.
A query layer over your project.

A generic AI answers questions from training data. CompoundLM answers questions from your project's evidence — the camera observations, the RAMS, the programme, the contract, the intervention history, the outcome record. Every answer is grounded in what Background has actually observed and understood about your project.

Ask about Zone Z-003 and CompoundLM knows your Zone Z-003 — the boundary, the RAMS control measures, the camera feeds, the breach history, the interventions. Not a generic answer about exclusion zones. A specific answer about your site.

Context in scope
WP-014 Zone Z-003 CAP-001 RAMS-WP014-Rev C PA-0441
Question
How many times has Zone Z-003 been breached this week and what was the supervision situation each time?
CompoundLM™
Zone Z-003 has been breached 3 times this week. On Monday at 09:47, Tuesday at 14:22 and today at 09:47. In all three cases, supervisor T. Brennan was not on site at the time of the breach. Two of the three preceded the rotary piling rig operating within the zone. One intervention has been created and closed. Two remain open.

What you can ask

Explain what happened.
Why it happened.
What it means. What to do next.

CompoundLM can answer any question that can be answered from the evidence Background has accumulated. It is not limited to pre-defined reports or fixed queries. If the evidence exists, CompoundLM can answer the question.

Safety
How many exclusion zone breaches have occurred on WP-014 this month?
What was the supervision situation when the incident occurred?
Which work packages are showing safety confidence below 60%?
What does the camera evidence show about Zone Z-003 on Tuesday morning?
Delivery
What was the cycle time on WP-014 last week versus the programme?
Which work packages consumed float this week?
What is causing the momentum loss on Package 6?
Are we going to make the milestone on current trajectory?
Commercial
What was the programme position when the variation was raised?
What does the evidence show about access on that date?
Which Early Warning obligations are approaching their window?
What interventions were in place when the delay occurred?

Grounded in evidence

Every answer traces back
to the evidence that supports it.

CompoundLM does not generate answers from general knowledge. Every answer references the specific evidence that supports it — the camera observation, the RAMS document, the programme activity, the intervention record. If the evidence does not exist, CompoundLM says so.

Site reality
Camera observations, footage timestamps, zone events, plant state, workforce presence — everything SiteRecorder has captured and SightAgent has interpreted.
Site context
RAMS control measures, zone boundaries, programme activities, contract obligations, permit conditions — every document loaded into CompoundOS™.
CompoundOS™ understanding
Capability outputs, evidence combinations, confidence scores, historical patterns and organisational memory — the accumulated understanding that CompoundOS™ has built.
Intervention history
Every intervention created in ActionBoard — who created it, who it was assigned to, what was done, what the outcome was. A complete record of what happened and what was done about it.

What CompoundLM is not

Not a replacement for human judgement. A foundation for better decisions.

CompoundLM provides intelligence grounded in evidence. It does not make decisions. It does not tell you what to do. It tells you what happened, what the evidence shows and what the patterns suggest — so that the people responsible for the project can make better-informed decisions.

When the evidence is ambiguous or incomplete, CompoundLM says so. When a question cannot be answered from available evidence, it says that too. Honesty about the limits of the evidence is part of what makes the answers trustworthy.

CompoundLM™

Get answers. Not just data. Explain what happened. Why it happened. What it means. What to do next.

CompoundLM is the difference between having data about your project and being able to ask questions of your project. The evidence is already there. CompoundLM makes it answerable.

Book a demo How it works
Your evidence — not general knowledge
Every answer is grounded in what Background has observed and understood about your specific project. Not generic AI answers. Specific answers about your site.
Ask anything
No pre-defined queries. No fixed reports. Ask the question that matters to you — about safety, delivery, commercial position, historical patterns or specific events.
Evidence referenced
Every answer references the specific evidence that supports it. Camera timestamps, RAMS documents, programme activities, intervention records. Nothing is asserted without evidence.
