Ask Scout about your work
Open Scout with Alt+S to get evidence-grounded assistance inside the record you are viewing (SG01).
Authorized business user
/pdcc/account/scoutScout is the display name of the Sigma Companion module in the demonstration. It is embedded — there is no separate SI menu in the business app. Scout answers inside your current authorized context and cites the exact evidence it used.

Open Scout
Press Alt+S, or use the Scout button. It opens docked with the current record as context.

Ask
e.g. *Does Juniper meet the runtime requirement?*

e.g. *Not demonstrated* — citing
EV-JUN-BATTv1 page 2 and the human finding by Morgan Reed. - 4
Open cited evidence / Review finding
Jump to the source.

Report an output concern
If the answer is wrong, unsupported or potentially biased.
What Scout can and cannot do
- Summarize and draft
- Permitted evidence, findings, request text, view drafts.
- Proactive insights
- e.g. a changed estimate — linked to a specific source version; you can open or defer.
- Prepare proposals
- e.g. a request or follow-up. Preparing text does not send it — the proposal must pass a separate exact-content approval.
- Cannot
- Execute actions, approve, award, make set-aside or sole-source determinations, or reach data you cannot read.
