One Predicate, Two Meanings, Three Bugs: Building a Contradiction Resolver with the Sanity App SDK
by shahbaz_ali. Built for the DEV × Sanity Challenge. #sanitychallenge When two of your company's documents disagree, somebody has to decide which one wins. Usually that's a Slack thread, and usually it's forgotten by the time the same question comes around again. I built a tool that turns that decision into a typed, queryable document with a source, a reason, a precedent chain and an audit…
When two or more documents written by different departments within a company disagree on a particular matter, there needs to be a process in place to determine which document is correct. This often leads to lengthy Slack threads that are eventually forgotten, causing confusion for new employees and making it difficult to track the decision-making process.
The author built a tool that addresses this issue by turning disputes into typed, queryable documents with provenance, reasoning, and an audit trail. The app allows an agent to propose a ruling, which is then approved or overridden by a human. Once the ruling is established, it becomes the canonical answer that the app serves everywhere.
