Evidence discipline
AI can accelerate research. It cannot turn an unsupported claim into a fact.
Hive Prospect uses machines to search, organize, compare, and pressure-test. Evidence still has to come from evidence.
01
Models generate hypotheses
A model can identify patterns, contradictions, and questions worth checking.
- Hypothesis generation is not verification.
02
Sources anchor claims
Material factual claims should be traceable to source material appropriate to the question.
- Source quality and recency matter.
03
Inference stays visible
Reasoning is useful, but it should never be smuggled into the document as a sourced fact.
- FACT / INFERENCE / UNKNOWN is the operating grammar.
