LightRay

Use this when someone asks about a company or wants one checked. Give the company's name and, if known, its city or country. If a recent report on the company is stored, it comes back at once; otherwise a new report starts and the answer says when it will be ready. A new report uses one of the reader's reports; asking again for the same company does not. When several companies match the name, the answer lists them: ask the reader which one they mean, then call this again with that company's choice token. LightRay checks companies, not people.

Use this to see how far a report has got and what has been found so far, or to read a ready report: its date, the main point, any questions to ask, what was found, the next steps, the companies worth a look next and its link. LightRay writes each report: the main point, questions, findings and next steps are LightRay's. Give the report_id that check_company or list_reports returned, or the report's link. Reading a report uses none of the reader's reports.

Use this to see the reader's recent reports from here, newest first, each with whether it is ready and its link. It uses none of the reader's reports.
