Judging Reliability
Read trust markers correctly and check the evidence behind every claim.
The platform is deliberately honest about how solid each statement is. Learning to read that signal is what separates a confident decision from a mistaken one.
Trust markers
Statements can carry a small marker:
| Marker | What it means | How to treat it |
|---|---|---|
| Derivation | A recommendation reasoned from the results. | Useful guidance — but it's the agent's inference, not a measured number. |
| Thesis | A statement offered without a direct supporting quote. | Treat as a hypothesis; verify before acting. |
| Exploratory | An early signal or trend. | Directional only; don't over-read it. |
| Machine translated | Text translated into your language. | Open the original if exact wording matters. |
The panel type also appears as a marker — Twin or Synthetic — so you're never guessing whether a voice is modeled or based on a real person.
Checking the evidence
Statements that are backed by quotes let you open the Evidence section and read the panel's actual words:
- Show original / Show translation — switch between the original language and the translation.
- Close evidence — collapse the section again.
A simple discipline
- Start at the report head — a result is only as strong as its panel (type, size, vintage).
- Separate measurement from interpretation — charts and quotes are what the panel produced; derivations and theses are reasoning layered on top.
- Quote from evidence, not summaries — when you present a finding, pull the real voice. It's more persuasive and more honest.
Good to know
- A missing marker means a plain, quote-backed statement — the default, and the most solid kind.
- Exploratory and derivation content is still valuable for generating ideas; just label it as such when you pass it on.
