Glossary/Evidence grades

From the record

The claim appears in the source material but arrives without a source marker of its own, so there is nothing to grade. Some analyses call this "untestable from the record". It is reported as-is, with no claim made about how well supported it is.

The definition the product enforces, read from the same code the methodology page renders.

How to read it

When From the record appears on a page

A claim that appears in the material with no source marker of its own. The page reports it as it arrived and makes no claim about its support. If a stated row matters, it is a candidate for a follow-up question, not a fact to carry.

The family

Evidence grades

The grade every claim on a research page carries: how it is known, not how confident it sounds. Assigned by the same rules on every scan; the rollup numbers are computed from the graded rows.

VerifiedCorroborated against an outside source, and that source is linked.GroundedCame from material the scan actually read, with a named source.PartialSome support, not enough to call it settled.ContestedSources disagree, or the record contradicts it.UnverifiedAsserted in the material, with nothing behind it.Your inputYou supplied it. The scan took it as given.TrainingFrom the model's prior knowledge, not from anything fetched.GapSomething the analysis could not establish, reported as missing.

The whole grading vocabulary, on one page

Every grade here is assigned by the same rules on every scan, and the methodology page renders those rules from the code that enforces them.
