03 / SOURCEBOOK

Every claim has a trail.

Search published sources and linked claims by topic, source title, or publisher. Open the original document and see where its claims were used.

Source rule

Source records are not automatically endorsements. Read the original publication, its date and scope note, and the linked claim's stance. Source checks apply to individual passages, not entire publications or AI answers.

VERIFY THE RECEIPT

Read the document at its own level of authority.

Identify the speaker

A company guide describes its own practice. A staff alert, advisory, policy recommendation and individual statement each have a different purpose.

Check the linked question

A publication can support one claim and add context to another. Follow the question link below each claim to see that relationship.

Watch the date

Publication dates mark when a document appeared. They are not timestamps for a platform’s present reserves, an account’s protection or local law today.

05 SOURCE HYGIENE

Read before you repeat.

Publication date, source type, and claim stance stay visible so a model summary cannot quietly become a fact.

CHECK THE ORIGINAL
  • Confirm the date and publisher.
  • Separate a company's description from an independent finding.
  • Keep unresolved disagreements visible.
