The 5-Phase Verification Pipeline

From initial AI screening to expert sign-off, every fact passes through a rigorous, auditable workflow.

Phase 01

AI Initial Scan

Claims are parsed for structure, citations, and semantic consistency. AI flags anomalies, missing references, or logical contradictions before human review.

Phase 02

Source Cross-Reference

Our system validates citations against peer-reviewed journals, official publications, and trusted archives. Broken or outdated links trigger immediate review.

Phase 03

Domain Expert Review

Verified contributors with credentials in the relevant field evaluate accuracy, context, and nuance. Conflicting claims undergo dual-blind review.

Phase 04

Version Lock & Hash

Approved facts are immutably logged with a cryptographic hash, timestamp, and reviewer signature. Changes require a formal revision request.

Phase 05

Public Transparency Log

Every verification step, citation, and expert note is published in our open ledger. Users can audit the entire history of any claim.

Built for Radical Transparency

We don't just verify facts—we show you exactly how they were verified.

🔗

Primary Source Requirement

Secondary summaries are not accepted as final proof. Every claim must link to original research, official records, or direct archival material.

🤝

AI + Human Hybrid Model

AI handles scale and pattern detection; humans provide contextual judgment. Neither acts alone. Consensus is required for publication.

🔄

Living Revision System

Knowledge evolves. When new evidence emerges, flagged facts enter expedited review. All changes are versioned and publicly traceable.

⚖️

Dispute Resolution Board

Contested claims are escalated to an independent panel of scholars. Decisions are published with full reasoning and source comparisons.
