Abstract

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems hold a great deal of operational knowledge that is rarely documented. We propose Chat-CBMM, a method that learns from the system’s interface, sends its findings through human review, and answers questions using only approved knowledge. We tested it at the Cuerpo de Bomberos Municipal de Machala with a campaign defined in advance: a language model first scored the responses, and experts confirmed the scores. The crawler found all 57 eligible routes and 14 modules. The generated semantics matched the reference only in part (F1 between 0.30 and 0.43); the change between rounds came mainly from how the scores were adjudicated, not from human review. Across 54 queries, approved semantics raised behavioral accuracy from 35.2% to 44.4%, although not significantly. The writer and the graph added small differences, and in queries that modify data, all conditions stayed safe. Our reading is that the system works as supervised support, but not yet as an autonomous assistant.
