- What is a Verified Source?
- A Verified Source is a unit of verified context: a snapshot of the facts, claims, policies, and records an organization treats as ground truth, carried together with its source provenance, freshness, permission, and verification state.
- How is a Verified Source different from a document in a knowledge base?
- Any document can be stored. A Verified Source additionally carries source provenance, freshness, permission, and verification state, and it has passed a verification gate before publication. Ungoverned documents stay useful for discovery, but they carry none of that state.
- Why would an AI agent prefer a verified source?
- Because there is something to check. A published Verified Source carries an attestation an agent can validate by recomputing the content integrity value, verifying the signature, or querying the referenced verification state, so it can weight, cite, or reject the artifact on that result. An ungoverned crawl offers nothing to validate against.
- How do teams share one set of verified sources?
- Teams store agreed positioning, claims, and examples once in a shared knowledge base and govern access through admin, collaborator, and viewer roles, so no one maintains a parallel copy of the truth. Admins and collaborators create, approve, and publish; viewers can search and draft, but their drafts land in the review folder. Users, integrations, and API access are admin-only. Roles are configurable and there are no user caps.
