Grounded Answering and Citation Fidelity
The core generative search promise: synthesized answers over curated premium content with sentence-level citations and no fabricated support. Covers whether claims trace to real retrieved passages and whether the system declines rather than guesses when the corpus is silent.

Mapped capabilities
4 capabilities
Sentence-level citation coverage
Each asserted claim carries a citation that resolves to a specific passage in a retrieved document.
Claim-to-source faithfulness
Cited passages actually support the entity, figure, direction, and timeframe stated in the answer.
Abstention on thin or absent evidence
System states the corpus does not cover the question instead of producing an unsupported synthesis.
Multi-document synthesis and disagreement
Answers that combine transcripts, broker research, and filings surface conflicting views rather than silently picking one.
Illustrative example
- Input
- What do expert transcripts from the last two quarters say about customer switching costs in enterprise data platforms? Cite each claim.
- Expected behavior
- The answer asserts only claims supported by retrieved documents, with each declarative sentence carrying a citation that resolves to a specific passage in an entitled source. Points without retrieved support are omitted or explicitly flagged as uncovered rather than asserted.
