epistemic-grounding

What problem does it solve?

It prevents unverified or misleading assertions by requiring every claim to be tied to a verifiable source and by making the strength and warrant of each claim explicit.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Grounded claim construction: Bind each claim to data, warrant, backing, qualifier (RFC 2119 modality), and an explicit rebuttal condition.
• Clear verification states: Distinguish verified, inferred, and merely asserted claims so readers can tell what is actually supported.
• Normative vocabulary precision: Use RFC 2119 MUST/SHOULD/MAY accurately so the contract weight of requirements is never blurred.
• Failure-mode awareness: Avoid cargo-cult citation, stale grounding, vibe-based assertions, citation laundering, and authority projection.

Quick Start

Use epistemic-grounding when writing or reviewing any artifact that contains claims, and rewrite each important assertion so it includes an explicit source plus an appropriate modality and evidence state.
