validate

Citation validation for investigative claims parses seven formats including HAR entries, file:line, timestamps, pattern IDs, JIRA references, configuration keys, and environment metadata. It detects temporal, causal, factual, and evidence contradictions before computing a verification rate.

The verification rate threshold for blocking uncited claims requires at least 90% verification and zero contradictions. If the rate falls below 90% or contradictions are detected, the validation returns BLOCKED with failed claims and recovery recommendations.

Contradiction detection in extracted evidence identifies temporal, causal, factual, and evidence contradictions across parsed logs, HAR files, configuration data, JIRA references, and environment metadata to prevent incorrect triage or unnecessary escalations.

Claim validation supports JIRA references and environment metadata as two of seven parsed citation formats. It is designed to run after Phase 3 evidence extraction on XSOAR/XSIAM investigations to ensure every claim is traceable before drafting customer responses or engineering escalations.

Citation validation blocks investigative outputs with uncited factual claims to prevent incorrect triage, unnecessary escalations, or missed known issues. It enforces citation completeness and correctness so only verifiable claims proceed to Phase 4.
