Source Trust Verifier

Goal

Reduce bad decisions from stale, low-quality, or biased sources.

Verification Workflow

  1. Identify claim type: factual, pricing, legal, technical, recommendation.
  2. Prefer primary source over repost or commentary.
  3. Check date freshness and update cadence.
  4. Cross-check with at least one independent source for unstable claims.
  5. Mark confidence and unresolved unknowns.

Source Priority

  • Official vendor docs and repositories.
  • Standards bodies and primary publications.
  • Reputable secondary summaries.
  • Social posts only as discovery signals, not final evidence.

Output Contract

Always output:

  1. validated_sources
  2. freshness_status
  3. confidence_level
  4. unknowns_to_verify

Guardrails

  • Do not present unverified claims as facts.
  • Explicitly label inferences and uncertainty.
