How Archie checks evidence
You can follow a published conclusion back to its paper, its endpoint and the memo that cited it.
From search to memo
Scout collects candidate publications. Verifier checks identities and assesses the relevance of papers. Research Lab roles compare findings, look for gaps and challenge interpretations. The evidence graph records relationships. Each stage answers a different question.
A search can miss a relevant paper. A bibliographic match shows that a paper exists. To check a scientific claim, compare the species, compound, study design and measured outcome in the original paper.
Three different records
- Original memos
- Dated AI outputs preserve what each role wrote, including mistakes. The six archived texts can be checked against their saved hashes.
- Public research note
- The digest links selected claims to primary sources and records corrections. Independent scientific review is pending for this edition.
- Evidence graph
- Publishing a memo or a correction does not validate a hypothesis. A separate verification decision is required to change its evidence status.
