Case studies

Updated September 2026

Most of this work was done to test the method on different kinds of records and different questions, each followed as far as the available data would allow. Several produced findings of note.

  • A city budget analysis that surfaced a local law enforcement agency's request for information on AI report writing, and produced an alternative approach answering the agency's own concerns, offered at no cost.
  • A parks fee study that traced why the study was being commissioned: a revenue gap left by a repealed paid-parking program.
  • A municipal water rate study that surfaced a rate change moving ahead while its legal basis was still before the state's highest court, as of September 2026.
  • Sixty years of regional transportation planning, placed in order and reproduced identically from scratch.
  • A local museum study that uncovered an almost unwritten 35-year log-rafting operation behind much of the lumber San Diego was built with.
  • The Clairemont community study, a neighborhood's history rebuilt from City records and maps; an audit located 206 of 216 testable entries, with none failing.
  • A regional tech lineage study that found a famous claim about one company's spinoffs measures a rate, not a count. In progress.
  • A bay closure analysis that set restroom closures against water-quality advisories, and found the beach among the bay's cleanest monitored sites.
  • A business listing assessment, from public records only, that found the listing contradicting itself in five places.
  • An antique sewing machine, identified and valued from the maker's own production records.
  • An awards-list study, a cultural look at where technology, business, and entertainment meet.
  • A medical-literature inquiry into published research.

Every situation is unique

No tool snaps into a field and fixes it. The method is described on The Method and in the papers; how it applies depends on the records you hold and the question you need answered.

If your records raise a question the method could answer, send us an inquiry.

The fields and applications on this page were identified from the general nature of the work performed in each, as having functions well served by GTR. They are not reports of completed work, except where a study is noted. Results depend on the expertise of the person operating the system: the method provides structure, and the operator supplies the knowledge of the field. No particular result is guaranteed.

Inquiries

GTR is serious AI for serious professionals. Every answer generates its own dated reference trail, and the trail shows what no single record could.
