Solutions · Provenance

Every claim traced to its origin

A citation tells a reader where a number came from. Provenance is whether that actually holds when someone follows it — and AI engines follow it too.

Chain ends at a page that cites nothing further. Replace or cut.

§ 01

What you get

Per claim, not per page.

Trace chain

Where the number came from

We walk every citation in sequence until we reach the document that contains the number, or until the chain ends. You see exactly which step failed, if any.

Verdict

One word per claim

Primary, secondary, orphaned, fabricated — and the document we reached. Your reviewer approves or rejects without re-doing the research.

Recommended citation

A stronger source, if there is one

When your writer cited a secondary source, we name the primary. When the primary is a preprint, we name the peer-reviewed version.

§ 02

Where it shows up

Editorial reviewClaims arrive with evidence attached. Review becomes approval, not investigation.
Compliance auditEvery number traceable at the time of publication, with the document on record.
Library cleanupIdentify which published pages rest on chains that have since broken or gone offline.
New draftsSources checked before the draft goes to review. No back-and-forth about where a number came from.
