SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tacigent-evidence-ladder provides a standardized framework for evaluating external claims by classifying sources, assessing credibility, and determining appropriate claim statuses, enabling consistent decision-making across Tacigent stage skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardizes source priors and claim-status mapping for external claims such as market signals, problems, marketing, and pitches.
  • Applies stage-specific verification rules to internal proofs and ensures detection of conflicts and freshness considerations.
  • Supports traceability through sourceRefs, artifactRefs and ensures non-canonical claims are bounded appropriately.

Quick Start

Apply the evidence ladder rules to an external claim by classifying its source, evaluating recency and verification state, and determining its credibility.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify external claims and assess their credibility consistently?

To verify external claims, classify the source, evaluate recency and verification state, and check for corroboration to map the claim to statuses like verified, supported, inferred, speculative, or contradicted.

What is the evidence ladder framework for claim verification?

The evidence ladder is a standardized framework that evaluates external assertions by applying rules for source priors, recency, corroboration, and conflict handling to determine a unified credibility status.

How do I resolve conflicting evidence from multiple external sources?

Resolve conflicting evidence by applying conflict handling rules within the evidence ladder, bounding non-canonical claims and mapping the conflicting inputs to a contradicted or speculative status.

Can I use this evidence ladder as a standalone claim verification tool?

No, this evidence ladder is designed to be used by stage skills to reference sub-protocols and avoid standalone invocation, ensuring traceability through sourceRefs and artifactRefs during evaluation.

How do I evaluate the credibility of market signals and external pitches?

Evaluate market signals and pitches by standardizing source priors and applying stage-specific verification rules to detect conflicts and freshness considerations, yielding a clear claim status.

What are the limitations of using source priors for claim verification?

Source priors limit verification by bounding non-canonical claims and enforcing discovery constraints, meaning external assertions require traceability through sourceRefs to maintain credibility across stage skills.
