Step 01
Recruit retiring experts
AD members invite vetted trade professionals from their own network, not anonymous contributors.
Suite / KnowledgeVault
Capture the knowledge before it leaves.
Experienced tradespeople are retiring faster than the industry can replace their judgment. KnowledgeVault turns their expertise into an owned, searchable, AI-ready asset.
How it works
A new income path becomes a proprietary moat.
KnowledgeVault creates a way for experienced people to keep contributing after they leave full-time work. Their answers become useful to members immediately and more valuable over time as the system validates what is specific, supported, and repeatedly useful.
- AD members recruit experts they already trust.
- Experts answer practical product questions in plain language.
- AI organizes the answers into searchable product intelligence.
- AD builds a defensible data layer for the distributor network.
Step 02
Answer by voice
A retiring plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, or industrial specialist shares practical product knowledge from a mobile phone.
Step 03
Validate and organize
The system scores depth, specificity, novelty, source support, and confirmation signals.
Step 04
Own the data
Captured knowledge becomes a defensible intelligence layer for the distributor network.
AI-first payment model
Pay for signal, not time.
KnowledgeVault pays by quality. A lightweight answer earns a small payment; a deep field answer that gets confirmed over time becomes more valuable.
