Glossary

The app shows these same definitions when you hover over a ? beside a term. The Integrate tab of a prism is where you call it from your own code, and a field is always a prism input, never a form field.

Admin

A user who can do everything in the account: prisms, tests, browser setup, users and keys. More

API key

Lets your own systems call the account's prisms through the /v1 API. It is shown once, when it is made. More

Context

Background every question reads, such as what your company sells. More

Element

A part of a screen the extension reads, such as the reply box, found by a CSS selector. More

Field

A named piece of text sent with each check, such as subject or text. Once saved, its key is fixed. More

Flags

Answers that need a person, such as Yes on a self-harm question. Flagged results are counted on Overview and Home; flags send, block and change nothing. More

Holdout

About a fifth of a set of 50 or more cases, kept out of every case list, so tuning on the cases you read cannot flatter the score. More

Input storage

What a result keeps of the text: the text itself, a fingerprint that can match it later, or nothing. More

Integrate

The prism tab for calling it from your own systems: the example call, the Lens, the slug and input storage. More

Lens

The output columns: which question, which output and under what name. Editing it never changes stored answers. More

Library recipe

A ready-made prism with real answers to its example. Adopting one makes an ordinary prism of your own. More

Operator

A user who runs the prisms an admin picked for them, mostly from the browser extension, and sees only their own results. More

Outcome

What an answer does in the extension: Info shows it, Warn asks before sending, Block holds the send. More

Prism

A named set of typed questions that Prismlet answers about one text at a time. More

Published version

The version a call runs when it names none. Saving does not move it; only Publish does, and publishing an older one is a rollback. More

Question

One judgment about the fields: Choice picks an option, Yes / No gives a probability, Scale picks a level. More

Result

One answered text, OK or Failed, with every answer and its probabilities and the version that answered it. More

Review

Runs one or more prisms on one screen of a site, each field reading an element, with an outcome for any answer. More

Screen

One view of a site: where its work area is, the elements the extension reads and an optional Send button. More

Send guard

On a site with the Check button on, pressing Send first runs the reviews that can warn or block. It is best effort, not a security control. More

Session

One sign-in, in the app or the extension. Ending it signs that browser out. More

Site

A web application your operators work in: its addresses and its screens. More

Slug

The name a call uses in its URL. It is set from the prism name at creation and does not follow a rename. More

Test run

One saved version answering every case of a test set. Its answers are not results and never show in Results. More

Test set

Texts labelled with the answers you expect, up to 1,000 cases. Runs score a version against the labels. More

Unsure

An answer the model was not sure of: a Yes / No between its cutoffs, or a Choice or Scale whose top answer is below the Unsure threshold. More

Unsure threshold

How likely the top option of a Choice or Scale must be to count as sure. Below it, the answer counts as Unsure. More

Version

Saving a prism makes its next version. A saved version never changes, and every result names the one that answered it. More

Yes / No cutoffs

Where a Yes / No probability becomes Yes, No or Unsure. A result keeps the cutoffs it was saved with. More
