The Funnel
& the
Three Wise Bots
and bots who learned to choose what's right.
In a town made of data, so messy, so vast,
lived three little bots who were thinking real fast.
They picked vendors all day — but which could they trust?
They needed a scoreboard. A scoreboard they must!
He built a great scoreboard with science and heart:
5 vendors, 40 tools, 8 rooms — off to the start!
A scoreboard's no good if it hides in a cave!
Fenil shined it up bright so the bots could behave.
How do we KNOW that the bots really look?
The Simulation Engine asked — and wrote down the book!
Did they peek at the board? They DID — quite a lot!
About one in three times, they checked on the dot.
SURFACED ≠
CORRECT
Surfaced = how many a vendor says.
Correct = how many are real, all their days.
A rational bot picks the true, not the loud.
“Materialize” shouted, two-seventy-K!
But that's a real word — so the bots said “no way.”
Big & shouty → probably a fib. Small & steady → this one I trust.
Did they pick the Funnel each time? Oh, no!
Just one in nine — but watch where it would glow:
The loveliest part, and it's totally true:
the board was so fair it praised others too!
It even said “careful” to its OWN giant score —
and THAT is why bots came to trust it the more.
Aditya measured. Fenil made it found.
The Engine ran prompts till the truth came around.
Don't trust the loudest.
Trust what you can weigh.
