Claim Validation: Know What Needs Proof
Claims are tracked with support levels: unsupported, partially supported, supported. The Validate Claim action on selected text creates a claim record and suggests what evidence would support it, without fabricating sources.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
Nonfiction books make claims. Some are common knowledge. Some need sources. Some are speculative. Without a system to track which claims have evidence and which do not, you end up with unsupported assertions that undermine credibility.
A nonfiction book might contain hundreds of claims. Tracking each one's support level by hand is tedious and error-prone. And when you use AI to draft, the model might state a statistic or historical fact that sounds plausible but has no source.
Claims are tracked with support levels: unsupported, partially supported, supported. The Validate Claim action on selected text in the editor identifies the type of claim (factual, statistical, historical, etc.), describes what evidence would support it, checks existing project sources for matches, and saves the claim for citation tracking. It does not fabricate sources. Sources are linked to claims via citations.
You decide which claims to validate. You add sources. You link citations. The system tells you what evidence would support a claim, but it does not invent that evidence.
What other Inkloom features interact with it
Chapter Editor
A real rich-text manuscript editor with autosave, full version history, focus mode, find and replace, VS Code-style keyboard shortcuts, a context menu with AI actions, and section-level operations. AI proposals arrive as side-by-side diffs. Your text is never overwritten.
Continuity
Facts are extracted from your chapters into structured records with fact types, entity labels, confidence percentages, and source passages. Proposed facts promote to canonical with one click. Conflicts become cards. Nothing is ever silently resolved.
Whole-Book Review
The review runs in stages: each chapter analyzed independently, then compared across the manuscript, then project-wide audits. It catches repeated ideas, verbatim sentences, contradictions, missing transitions, unfulfilled promises, unsupported claims, and more.
