Glossary/Evidence grades

Your input

This came from what you typed into the scan — a premise, a figure, a piece of context. The analysis built on it without checking it, because you asserted it. If it turns out to be wrong, everything downstream of it is worth re-reading.

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

How to read it

When Your input appears on a page

You said it, so the scan built on it. The page marks it so that if the premise turns out wrong you know which rows sit downstream of it. A scenario and a council read are made almost entirely of your input, by design.

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.TrainingFrom the model's prior knowledge, not from anything fetched.From the recordPresent in the material with no provenance attached.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.
