Do Not Reuse an AI Citation Until You Find It in the PDF
Request an exact quote, find it in the source, read the surrounding context, and only then reuse the claim. Automatic page anchors are in the product backlog, not presented as LIVE.
Quote → locate → context → decisionGuide, not a citation locator
What works today
Source-only Q&A helps, but you locate the evidence
After summarizing an uploaded PDF, SummaryBot can answer a short question using only the stored extracted text. It does not return a page number, paragraph coordinate, or clickable passage, so verification ends in the original file.
Next product step: preserve page boundaries and return a short passage + locator + honest not found.
Three Different Levels of Confidence
Do not use model agreement as a substitute for the source.
| Tool | Useful for | Does not prove | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summary | Understand structure and key claims quickly | Does not prove every claim | Verify consequential statements |
| Exact passage | Locate the author's wording | Can still be out of context | Read the surrounding paragraphs |
| Model council | Expose disagreement or another interpretation | Model agreement is not source evidence | Return to the PDF |
This workflow reflects current VUST boundaries: single-PDF extraction, source-only follow-up, and no paragraph anchors.
A Three-Step Verification Loop
Each step leaves observable evidence.
