# Source verification

# Source Verification

Source verification is modeled as two separate concerns:

## Source Verification Status

`source_verification_status` indicates whether source-backed legal assertions are verified, derived, partial, or unresolved.

This communicates legal/source trust state, not model certainty.

## Analysis Confidence

`analysis_confidence` is a numeric confidence score for extraction, matching, or inference workflows.

This communicates confidence in analysis, not legal verification.

## Why the Split Matters

A relationship can be:

* high confidence but still unverified, or
* verified with no confidence score required

The API treats these as distinct fields to avoid conflating legal trust with model certainty.
