What 'Limited — ungrounded' means
An ungrounded result is the model's answer without live retrieval behind it — treat it as weaker evidence, not as no evidence.
Short answer
"Limited — ungrounded" means the AI answered without a live web-retrieval step behind it. It's a real answer, just not backed by verifiable, checkable sources the way a grounded result is.
What this means
An ungrounded response is not the same as a retrieval-backed, sourced result. Growthract never presents an ungrounded answer as equivalent-strength evidence to a grounded one — it's clearly labeled as limited.
Why this happens
Retrieval can fail to trigger for a given prompt for reasons outside Growthract's control (the provider's own retrieval decision for that query).
What to do
Read an ungrounded result as a weaker, unverified signal — not as proof either way. Look for a grounded result on the same question if you need stronger evidence.
