# Document history

This methodology has undergone independent public and private feedback since its inception and continues to receive periodic updates. Several certification bodies have considered adopting it, and they will adapt it for use within their crediting frameworks, leading to "forks". The Savimbo version will remain publicly available, with expanded sections for projects not seeking accreditation or using the methodology for outcomes tracking or MRV alone.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sexytrees.savimbo.com/document-history.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
