A normal AI research workflow goes source → summary — and quietly ships contradictions as facts. The Claim Graph goes source → entity → overlap → contradiction → verification → graph. Every claim is a node. Confidence is earned by independent support. Conflicts get flagged — never averaged away.
Every document enters as a node — never as a summary.
→Claims are extracted atomically: who, what, the exact value.
→Same-fact claims from different sources merge into one node.
→An independent auditor hunts conflicts — different numbers, hidden units, yes/no flips.
→3+ sources agreeing = high confidence. 2 = medium. 1 = stays weak. Any conflict = flagged.
→The output is a claim-by-claim evidence map you can defend — not a paragraph you hope is right.
We pointed it at one of the internet's most-answered questions — "how much water should you drink a day?" — and 3 top-tier health publishers. A summary engine would have shipped one number. Here's what the graph caught:
Two of the most-cited health publishers give answers 3x apart — and both get quoted as fact daily.
Even the sources citing the SAME institute report different figures — units quietly shifted (total fluids vs water).
Every claim node gets a trust grade you can act on.

Get My Free AI Visibility ScanA research method where every source becomes atomic claims, same-fact claims merge into nodes, confidence is scored by independent support (3+ = high, 1 = weak), and an independent audit pass flags contradictions instead of averaging them away.
They go source → summary: conflicts get silently blended into confident prose. In one Claim Graph run, 3 top health publishers produced 5 contradictions on a single everyday question — a summary would have picked one number and shipped it.
