investigation-source-trace

What problem does it solve?

It helps you determine where a claim originally came from and whether the version you heard is faithful to the earliest traceable source.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Claim capture and contexting: Rewrites the claim as received, including who asserted it, in what setting, and at what confidence level.
• Upstream origin tracing: Searches backward for the earliest publication or statement and flags citation laundering.
• Transmission-chain analysis: Maps how the claim changed over time (scope expansion, caveat stripping, inversion, or fabrication).
• Credibility assessment and verdict: Evaluates evidence strength, replication, conflicts of interest, and issues a defensible reformulation.
