Verified

The strongest thing this product will say about a claim. The scan did not just find it — it went back out and checked it against a source it names, and that source is attached to the row. Adversarial verification passes and the Inquiry ledger both land here, as do verbatim quotes and document excerpts that carry a real URL.

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

How to read it

When Verified appears on a page

When you see this beside a figure, the number was checked against a second, named source after the scan found it, and the link is on the row. Repeat it freely. If two scans in your own research both carry a verified figure that disagree, the corroboration view is where that shows.

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.

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.
