Trust & grounding

Ask is designed to answer from retrieved corpus passages, not from free-floating model memory alone.

The trust badge summarizes what the pipeline had to do to produce the reply — for example:

  • Whether sources were found
  • Whether citations needed correction
  • Whether quoted text was adjusted against the corpus

It does not certify doctrinal correctness. A “verified”-style state means the answer cites retrieved passages without rewriting them — not that the claims are true.

  1. Read the answer.
  2. Check the trust badge.
  3. Open citations in the reader and verify against the root/translation yourself.
