# 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.
