9 +== Core Concepts ==
10 +
11 +FactHarbor structures reasoning about claims into transparent, inspectable steps:
12 +
13 +* **Claims and Claim Clusters** – people submit real-world statements; similar phrasings are grouped.
14 +* **Scenarios** – each claim is evaluated under clearly defined contexts (assumptions, definitions, boundaries).
15 +* **Evidence** – sources and data are collected and linked to specific scenarios.
16 +* **Verdicts** – each scenario receives a likelihood-based assessment, not an absolute label.
17 +* **Truth Landscape** – the set of scenario-dependent verdicts shows where and why a claim seems more or less plausible.
18 +* **Time Evolution** – all important entities (claims, scenarios, evidence links, verdicts) are versioned, so it is possible to see *what we believed at time X* and how this changed.
19 +
20 +== Functional Lifecycle ==
21 +
22 +The system follows a six-step lifecycle:
23 +
24 +1. **Claim submission**: Automatic extraction and normalisation; Cluster detection.
25 +2. **Scenario building**: Clarifying definitions and assumptions; AI proposals with human approval.
26 +3. **Evidence handling**: AI-assisted retrieval; Human assessment of reliability; Explicit scenario linking.
27 +4. **Verdict creation**: AI-generated draft verdicts; Human refinement; Reasoning explanations.
28 +5. **Public presentation**: Concise summaries; Truth Landscape comparison; Deep dives.
29 +6. **Time evolution**: Versioning of all entities; Re-evaluation triggers when evidence changes.
