link-evidence

To prevent fabricated URLs and citations, enforce evidence-only linking rules that restrict generated links to a verified sources pool or explicit user-provided inputs. This policy flags non-compliant references and keeps company names as plain text when verified domains are missing.

Evidence-based linking is a citation validation mechanism that ensures every URL in a document is grounded in trusted sources or explicit user input. It differentiates evidence links from user-provided URLs and prevents inferred domains from appearing in research reports.

You validate links by providing the document text alongside your sources pool and any explicit user-provided URLs. The system filters or flags references that do not match the pool, ensuring every citation remains verifiable against known inputs.

Yes, you can use explicit user-provided URLs alongside evidence links. The system distinguishes between evidence links drawn from the sources pool and explicit URLs provided directly by the user, preserving citation integrity for both reference types.

Company names appear as plain text instead of links to prevent the fabrication of inferred domains. When a verified URL is missing from the sources pool or user inputs, the policy keeps the company name as plain text to maintain research integrity.
