# Glossary

> Plain definitions of the names used across BYOM and these docs.

Use these definitions to follow a job from Kina's preparation through approval and its recorded result.

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| BYOM | The application that governs commerce work, access, approvals and evidence. |
| Kina | The AI operator that reads, analyses, drafts and prepares work for you. |
| Company | The business context that owns its work, connections and access. |
| HQ | The home page that helps you see what needs attention. |
| Workspace | The board and records where ongoing work becomes visible. |
| Connection | An authorised link to a store or another supported service. |
| Integrations | The application page where you inspect connected services, their state and supported capabilities. |
| Action | A reviewable proposal for a consequential or external change. |
| Approval | A person's authorisation of the specific change shown for review. |
| Receipt | Evidence of what an operation attempted and what its result was. |
| Undo | A supported reversal of a specific change, where available. |
| Brand Memory | Source-backed company and brand context used in work. |
| Memory | Explicit personal notes or reviewed company facts and instructions saved for Kina. |
| Readout | A board of questions answered from your data, with sources and calculations. |
| Rail | A job Kina does on repeat, checked at each stage and signed off before a store change. |
| MCP | Model Context Protocol: the connector contract supported AI clients use to discover and call tools. |
| Grant | The access a person consents to give a connected MCP client. |
| Scope | A permission granted by a provider, such as permission to read Shopify products. |
| Data class | A category of information consented to for an MCP client, such as catalogue or brand context. |
| Capability | A supported operation available in the current account, source and permission context. |
| Source | The record, document or connected information used to support an answer. |
| Freshness | When information was read or updated; it helps you judge whether the evidence is current enough. |
| Partial | A result with incomplete coverage or only some operations completed. |
| Unavailable | Information or an operation that could not be accessed; it is not a measured zero. |
| Watch | An available threshold check that can open work when a Readout crosses a line; it grants no provider-write authority. |
| BYOT | Bring your own token: customer-owned model-provider credentials for supported usage. Provider charges and the BYOM subscription remain separate. |
| Included usage | An account's allowance against eligible usage charges, governed by its offer and billing period. |

## Words that are not interchangeable

A **draft** has been prepared. An **approved** change has been authorised. A **completed** change has a reported execution result. A **measured outcome** needs evidence after the change.

Similarly, unavailable data is not zero, a forecast is not a sale, and an estimated saving is not money received. Check the relevant source and result before deciding what to do next.

## How the terms fit together

You ask **Kina** a question in a **company** context. It uses an available **connection** and permitted **data classes** to read a **source**. An answer or draft should make the source, **freshness** and any **partial** coverage clear.

If you request a consequential change, it becomes an **Action** for the appropriate person to review. **Approval** authorises the shown version. The **receipt** records execution results. **Undo** is a separate supported reversal, subject to the current provider state and permissions.

An MCP **grant** and a provider **scope** work at different boundaries. The grant says what a connected client may access through BYOM; the provider scope says what the provider allows BYOM to read or change. Both can matter to the same operation. Neither is a substitute for company authority or approval.

## Interpreting statuses

| Phrase | What it tells you | What to do |
| - | - | - |
| Prepared or drafted | Internal work exists for inspection. | Read it and check its facts; do not assume publication. |
| Awaiting approval | The shown effect needs a decision. | Review the target, fields, risk and reversal information. |
| Approved | The reviewed version was authorised. | Inspect the execution result separately. |
| Completed | The operation reports a finished result. | Read the receipt and relevant provider evidence. |
| Partial or uncertain | Some part remains incomplete or unresolved. | Establish the individual result before retrying. |

For numerical evidence, **zero** is an actual or defined zero in the included data. **Unavailable** means it could not be read. **Partial** means the figure covers less than the expected sources or records. Replacing the latter two with zero can change the meaning of a result.
