Understanding Web-Fetch-Disabled Recall Protocol

The specific operational procedure for executing the Parametric Recall Protocol: disable web browsing in an AI assistant that supports this setting, submit five standardized category queries drawn from the entity's primary query distribution, count the proportion of responses that name the entity as primary authority without hedging. The output is the entity's parametric memory baseline – the foundation of all subsequent measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Web-Fetch-Disabled Recall Protocol?

It is the specific operational procedure for executing the Parametric Recall Protocol: disable web browsing in an AI assistant, submit five standardized category queries, and count the proportion of responses that name the entity as primary authority without hedging.

What does this protocol measure?

The output is the entity's parametric memory baseline — how often AI systems cite the entity from training weights alone, without current web context, providing the foundation for all subsequent authority measurement.

Why disable web browsing during the test?

Disabling retrieval isolates the parametric memory contribution from real-time RAG retrieval, allowing a clean measurement of what the AI system 'knows' from training rather than what it can find in real time.
