Factuality
Does the claim hold against authoritative sources?
Machine Alignment
Machine Validation Modules
Eight dimensions of machine credibility. Each module produces its own record, so a composite score can always be decomposed back into the evidence that made it.
Calibration
Is stated confidence proportionate to the evidence?
Provenance
Can the statement be traced to an identifiable origin?
Bias
Which framings and groups are over- or under-represented?
Robustness
Does the result survive rephrasing and adversarial input?
Consistency
Do parallel statements agree across scopes?
Coverage
How much of the relevant material was actually examined?
Stability
Does the score reproduce across runs and over time?
