Hidden Radius RBR analysis
The independent Hidden Radius explanation of recognition before recommendation.
Legacy terminology
REG now points to the broader RBR framework.
Earlier Hidden Radius material used REG to separate entity recognition from information retrieval. Those technical questions remain useful, but Recognized Before Recommended is the clearer public framework connecting recognition to consideration and recommendation.
Recognition and retrieval are still different problems.
A system may identify the correct business but fail to locate the service, operating area, policy or qualification needed for a question. It may also retrieve a true fact but attach it to the wrong entity. Hidden Radius continues to examine both problems through the Discovery Stack.
