How grounded is this content?

Metrics are computed from available source text only — abstract, summary, and impact fields ingested into this system. Full paper PDF is not ingested; numerical claims that originate from within the paper body will not appear in these scores.

Source Richness88%

7 of 8 content fields populated. More fields = better-grounded generation.

Source Depth~235 words

Total source text analyzed by the model. Includes extended deep-dive summary — high confidence.

Number Grounding2 / 4

Key statistics whose numeric values appear verbatim in ingested source text. Unverified stats may originate from the full paper body.

Quote Traceability3 / 3

Key passages whose significant vocabulary (≥4-char words) overlap ≥35% with source text. Measures lexical traceability, not semantic accuracy.

Methodology: Number grounding uses regex digit extraction against source text. Quote traceability uses token set intersection on content words stripped of stop-words. Neither metric validates semantic correctness or factual accuracy against the original paper. For full verification, cross-reference with the original paper via the arXiv link above.
