SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Information Source Miner helps users overcome information decay, biased reinterpretation, and context stripping by tracing claims back to primary materials so decisions are based on original texts or recordings rather than layered summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Information layer identification: Determine whether an item is a short clip, media interpretation, press release, or primary source and assess likely loss or bias at each layer.
  • Source retrieval and comparison: Find original documents or full recordings (official sites, IR pages, government portals), extract timestamps and quotes, and highlight omissions or distortions across retellings.
  • Structured reporting: Produce a concise source-trace report with key differences, ignored context, and a confidence assessment for use in journalism, investment research, or policy analysis.
  • Use case: Verify a media headline about an SEC speech by locating the full transcript/video, extracting the relevant timestamps and quotes, and comparing them to the article's claims to produce a differential summary.

Quick Start

Find the original source for this article, extract the exact timestamps and quotes from the primary material, and produce a comparison report listing differences and a confidence assessment.
