Trovato

Citation Firewall

The wedge

If it can't cite its source, it doesn't ship.

Every rendered output resolves to a citation anchor on a raw source. Outputs that can't be verified are dropped, never shown — and the citation survives the export.

All capabilities

01What it is

Every rendered output in Trovato — an answer, a wiki entry, a review cell, an amendment, a draft segment, a workflow artifact — resolves to a citation anchor on a raw source. Outputs whose citations can't be verified are dropped, never shown.

The Matter Wiki for a matter, listing four entries. Each carries provenance badges — research answer, sources checked, risk review finalized, agent deliverable — with numbered citation chips inline in the prose, a collapsed citation count, and a standing note that every factual claim resolves to a raw-document anchor. An Export action offers the whole bundle.
In the productEntries badged by where they came from and whether a human checked them — every claim still opening to its source

02In detail

01

Anchored to the source

Each claim ties to the exact passage in the underlying document, then highlights it on click-through — including on scanned pages and Word files, which are rendered to a preview so they carry real page geometry.

02

Verified or dropped

If an output can't be resolved to a source it doesn't render, and the count of dropped citations is recorded. There is no “trust me” state to fall back on.

03

It survives the export

A draft exported to Word carries real footnotes naming the document, the clause and the page. A citation that only works while you are logged in is not traceability.

04

Provenance everywhere

The same guarantee covers review cells, wiki entries, amendments and workflow outputs — and a knowledge entry with no resolvable source is refused before it is ever written.

03In practice

The found line

Open any claim. Land on the passage.

04Why it matters

How it fits the matter

Because provenance is enforced at render time and again at export, a partner can sign off knowing every line traces back to something they — or their client — can open.
