12 == 1. POC Specification ==
13
14 === POC Goal
Robert Schaub 1.1 15 Prove that AI can extract claims and determine verdicts automatically without human intervention.
16
Robert Schaub 2.1 17 === POC Output (4 Components Only)
Robert Schaub 1.1 18
19 **1. ANALYSIS SUMMARY**
20 - 3-5 sentences
21 - How many claims found
Robert Schaub 2.1 22 - Distribution of verdicts
Robert Schaub 1.1 23 - Overall assessment
24
25 **2. CLAIMS IDENTIFICATION**
26 - 3-5 numbered factual claims
27 - Extracted automatically by AI
28
29 **3. CLAIMS VERDICTS**
30 - Per claim: Verdict label + Confidence % + Brief reasoning (1-3 sentences)
31 - Verdict labels: WELL-SUPPORTED / PARTIALLY SUPPORTED / UNCERTAIN / REFUTED
32
33 **4. ARTICLE SUMMARY (optional)**
34 - 3-5 sentences
35 - Neutral summary of article content
36
37 **Total output: ~200-300 words**
38
Robert Schaub 2.1 39 === What's NOT in POC
Robert Schaub 1.1 40
Robert Schaub 2.1 41 ❌ Scenarios (multiple interpretations)
42 ❌ Evidence display (supporting/opposing lists)
43 ❌ Source links
44 ❌ Detailed reasoning chains
45 ❌ User accounts, history, search
46 ❌ Browser extensions, API
47 ❌ Accessibility, multilingual, mobile
48 ❌ Export, sharing features
Robert Schaub 1.1 49 ❌ Any other features
50
Robert Schaub 2.1 51 === Critical Requirement
Robert Schaub 1.1 52
53 **FULLY AUTOMATED - NO MANUAL EDITING**
54
55 This is non-negotiable. POC tests whether AI can do this without human intervention.
56
Robert Schaub 2.1 57 === POC Success Criteria
Robert Schaub 1.1 58
59 **Passes if:**
60 - ✅ AI extracts 3-5 factual claims automatically
61 - ✅ AI provides reasonable verdicts (≥70% make sense)
62 - ✅ Output is comprehensible
63 - ✅ Team agrees approach has merit
64 - ✅ Minimal or no manual editing needed
65
66 **Fails if:**
67 - ❌ Claim extraction poor (< 60% accuracy)
68 - ❌ Verdicts nonsensical (< 60% reasonable)
69 - ❌ Requires manual editing for most analyses (> 50%)
70 - ❌ Team loses confidence in approach
71
Robert Schaub 2.1 72 === POC Architecture
Robert Schaub 1.1 73
Robert Schaub 2.1 74 **Frontend:** Simple input form + results display
75 **Backend:** Single API call to Claude (Sonnet 4.5)
76 **Processing:** One prompt generates complete analysis
Robert Schaub 1.1 77 **Database:** None required (stateless)
78
Robert Schaub 2.1 79 === POC Philosophy
Robert Schaub 1.1 80
81 > "Build less, learn more, decide faster. Test the hardest part first."
82
Robert Schaub 2.1 83 === Context-Aware Analysis (Experimental POC1 Feature) ===
Robert Schaub 1.1 84
Robert Schaub 2.1 85 **Problem:** Article credibility ≠ simple average of claim verdicts
Robert Schaub 1.1 86
Robert Schaub 2.1 87 **Example:** Article with accurate facts (coffee has antioxidants, antioxidants fight cancer) but false conclusion (therefore coffee cures cancer) would score as "mostly accurate" with simple averaging, but is actually MISLEADING.
Robert Schaub 1.1 88
Robert Schaub 2.1 89 **Solution (POC1 Test):** Approach 1 - Single-Pass Holistic Analysis
90 * Enhanced AI prompt to evaluate logical structure
91 * AI identifies main argument and assesses if it follows from evidence
92 * Article verdict may differ from claim average
93 * Zero additional cost, no architecture changes
Robert Schaub 1.1 94
Robert Schaub 2.1 95 **Testing:**
96 * 30-article test set
97 * Success: ≥70% accuracy detecting misleading articles
98 * Marked as experimental
Robert Schaub 1.1 99
Robert Schaub 2.1 100 **See:** [[Article Verdict Problem>>FactHarbor.Specification.POC.Article-Verdict-Problem]] for full analysis and solution approaches.

105 Prove that AKEL produces high-quality outputs consistently at scale with complete quality validation.
Robert Schaub 1.1 106
Robert Schaub 2.1 107 === POC2 Enhancements (From POC1) ===
Robert Schaub 1.1 108
Robert Schaub 2.1 109 **1. COMPLETE QUALITY GATES (All 4)**
110 * Gate 1: Claim Validation (from POC1)
111 * Gate 2: Evidence Relevance ← NEW

Robert Schaub 1.1 114
Robert Schaub 2.1 115 **2. EVIDENCE DEDUPLICATION (FR54)**
116 * Prevent counting same source multiple times
117 * Handle syndicated content (AP, Reuters)
118 * Content fingerprinting with fuzzy matching
119 * Target: >95% duplicate detection accuracy
Robert Schaub 1.1 120
Robert Schaub 2.1 121 **3. CONTEXT-AWARE ANALYSIS (Conditional)**
122 * **If POC1 succeeds (≥70%):** Implement as standard feature
123 * **If POC1 promising (50-70%):** Try weighted aggregation approach
124 * **If POC1 fails (<50%):** Defer to post-POC2
125 * Detects articles with accurate claims but misleading conclusions
Robert Schaub 1.1 126
Robert Schaub 2.1 127 **4. QUALITY METRICS DASHBOARD (NFR13)**
128 * Track hallucination rates
129 * Monitor gate performance
130 * Evidence quality metrics
131 * Processing statistics
Robert Schaub 1.1 132
Robert Schaub 2.1 133 === What's Still NOT in POC2 ===

Robert Schaub 2.1 135 ❌ User accounts, authentication
136 ❌ Public publishing interface
137 ❌ Social sharing features
138 ❌ Full production security (comes in Beta 0)

Robert Schaub 1.1 158
Robert Schaub 2.1 159 == 2. Key Strategic Recommendations
Robert Schaub 1.1 160
Robert Schaub 2.1 161 === Immediate Actions
Robert Schaub 1.1 162
163 **For POC:**
164 1. Focus on core functionality only (claims + verdicts)
165 2. Create basic explainer (1 page)
166 3. Test AI quality without manual editing
167 4. Make GO/NO-GO decision
168
169 **Planning:**
170 1. Define accessibility strategy (when to build)
171 2. Decide on multilingual priorities (which languages first)
172 3. Research media verification options (partner vs build)
173 4. Evaluate browser extension approach
174
Robert Schaub 2.1 175 === Testing Strategy
Robert Schaub 1.1 176
Robert Schaub 2.1 177 **POC Tests:** Can AI do this without humans?
178 **Beta Tests:** What do users need? What works? What doesn't?
Robert Schaub 1.1 179 **Release Tests:** Is it production-ready?
180
181 **Key Principle:** Test assumptions before building features.
182
Robert Schaub 2.1 183 === Build Sequence (Priority Order)
Robert Schaub 1.1 184
185 **Must Build:**
186 1. Core analysis (claims + verdicts) ← POC
187 2. Educational resources (basic → comprehensive)
188 3. Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) ← Legal requirement
189
190 **Should Build (Validate First):**
191 4. Browser extensions ← Test demand
192 5. Media verification ← Pilot with existing tools
193 6. Multilingual ← Start with 2-3 languages
194
195 **Can Build Later:**
196 7. Mobile apps ← PWA first
197 8. ClaimReview schema ← After content library
198 9. Export features ← Based on user requests
199 10. Everything else ← Based on validation
200
Robert Schaub 2.1 201 === Decision Framework
Robert Schaub 1.1 202
203 **For each feature, ask:**
204 1. **Importance:** Risk + Impact + Strategy alignment?
205 2. **Urgency:** Fail fast + Legal + Promises?
206 3. **Validation:** Do we know users want this?
207 4. **Priority:** When should we build it?
208
209 **Don't build anything without answering these questions.**
