| 1 | = FactHarbor - Complete Analysis Summary | ||
| 2 | **Consolidated Document - No Timelines** | ||
| 3 | **Date:** December 19, 2025 | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | == 1. POC Specification - DEFINITIVE | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | === POC Goal | ||
| 8 | Prove that AI can extract claims and determine verdicts automatically without human intervention. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | === POC Output (4 Components Only) | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | **1. ANALYSIS SUMMARY** | ||
| 13 | - 3-5 sentences | ||
| 14 | - How many claims found | ||
| 15 | - Distribution of verdicts | ||
| 16 | - Overall assessment | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | **2. CLAIMS IDENTIFICATION** | ||
| 19 | - 3-5 numbered factual claims | ||
| 20 | - Extracted automatically by AI | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | **3. CLAIMS VERDICTS** | ||
| 23 | - Per claim: Verdict label + Confidence % + Brief reasoning (1-3 sentences) | ||
| 24 | - Verdict labels: WELL-SUPPORTED / PARTIALLY SUPPORTED / UNCERTAIN / REFUTED | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | **4. ARTICLE SUMMARY (optional)** | ||
| 27 | - 3-5 sentences | ||
| 28 | - Neutral summary of article content | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | **Total output: ~200-300 words** | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | === What's NOT in POC | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | ❌ Scenarios (multiple interpretations) | ||
| 35 | ❌ Evidence display (supporting/opposing lists) | ||
| 36 | ❌ Source links | ||
| 37 | ❌ Detailed reasoning chains | ||
| 38 | ❌ User accounts, history, search | ||
| 39 | ❌ Browser extensions, API | ||
| 40 | ❌ Accessibility, multilingual, mobile | ||
| 41 | ❌ Export, sharing features | ||
| 42 | ❌ Any other features | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | === Critical Requirement | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | **FULLY AUTOMATED - NO MANUAL EDITING** | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | This is non-negotiable. POC tests whether AI can do this without human intervention. | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | === POC Success Criteria | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | **Passes if:** | ||
| 53 | - ✅ AI extracts 3-5 factual claims automatically | ||
| 54 | - ✅ AI provides reasonable verdicts (≥70% make sense) | ||
| 55 | - ✅ Output is comprehensible | ||
| 56 | - ✅ Team agrees approach has merit | ||
| 57 | - ✅ Minimal or no manual editing needed | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | **Fails if:** | ||
| 60 | - ❌ Claim extraction poor (< 60% accuracy) | ||
| 61 | - ❌ Verdicts nonsensical (< 60% reasonable) | ||
| 62 | - ❌ Requires manual editing for most analyses (> 50%) | ||
| 63 | - ❌ Team loses confidence in approach | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | === POC Architecture | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | **Frontend:** Simple input form + results display | ||
| 68 | **Backend:** Single API call to Claude (Sonnet 4.5) | ||
| 69 | **Processing:** One prompt generates complete analysis | ||
| 70 | **Database:** None required (stateless) | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | === POC Philosophy | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | > "Build less, learn more, decide faster. Test the hardest part first." | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | === Context-Aware Analysis (Experimental POC1 Feature) === | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | **Problem:** Article credibility ≠ simple average of claim verdicts | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | **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. | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | **Solution (POC1 Test):** Approach 1 - Single-Pass Holistic Analysis | ||
| 85 | * Enhanced AI prompt to evaluate logical structure | ||
| 86 | * AI identifies main argument and assesses if it follows from evidence | ||
| 87 | * Article verdict may differ from claim average | ||
| 88 | * Zero additional cost, no architecture changes | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | **Testing:** | ||
| 91 | * 30-article test set | ||
| 92 | * Success: ≥70% accuracy detecting misleading articles | ||
| 93 | * Marked as experimental | ||
| 94 | |||

| 96 | |||
| 97 | == 2. Key Strategic Recommendations | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | === Immediate Actions | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | **For POC:** | ||
| 102 | 1. Focus on core functionality only (claims + verdicts) | ||
| 103 | 2. Create basic explainer (1 page) | ||
| 104 | 3. Test AI quality without manual editing | ||
| 105 | 4. Make GO/NO-GO decision | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | **Planning:** | ||
| 108 | 1. Define accessibility strategy (when to build) | ||
| 109 | 2. Decide on multilingual priorities (which languages first) | ||
| 110 | 3. Research media verification options (partner vs build) | ||
| 111 | 4. Evaluate browser extension approach | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | === Testing Strategy | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | **POC Tests:** Can AI do this without humans? | ||
| 116 | **Beta Tests:** What do users need? What works? What doesn't? | ||
| 117 | **Release Tests:** Is it production-ready? | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | **Key Principle:** Test assumptions before building features. | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | === Build Sequence (Priority Order) | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | **Must Build:** | ||
| 124 | 1. Core analysis (claims + verdicts) ← POC | ||
| 125 | 2. Educational resources (basic → comprehensive) | ||
| 126 | 3. Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) ← Legal requirement | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | **Should Build (Validate First):** | ||
| 129 | 4. Browser extensions ← Test demand | ||
| 130 | 5. Media verification ← Pilot with existing tools | ||
| 131 | 6. Multilingual ← Start with 2-3 languages | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | **Can Build Later:** | ||
| 134 | 7. Mobile apps ← PWA first | ||
| 135 | 8. ClaimReview schema ← After content library | ||
| 136 | 9. Export features ← Based on user requests | ||
| 137 | 10. Everything else ← Based on validation | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | === Decision Framework | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | **For each feature, ask:** | ||
| 142 | 1. **Importance:** Risk + Impact + Strategy alignment? | ||
| 143 | 2. **Urgency:** Fail fast + Legal + Promises? | ||
| 144 | 3. **Validation:** Do we know users want this? | ||
| 145 | 4. **Priority:** When should we build it? | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | **Don't build anything without answering these questions.** | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | == 4. Critical Principles | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | === Automation First | ||
| 152 | - AI makes content decisions | ||
| 153 | - Humans improve algorithms | ||
| 154 | - Scale through code, not people | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | === Fail Fast | ||
| 157 | - Test assumptions quickly | ||
| 158 | - Don't build unvalidated features | ||
| 159 | - Accept that experiments may fail | ||
| 160 | - Learn from failures | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | === Evidence Over Authority | ||
| 163 | - Transparent reasoning visible | ||
| 164 | - No single "true/false" verdicts | ||
| 165 | - Multiple scenarios shown | ||
| 166 | - Assumptions made explicit | ||
| 167 | |||
| 168 | === User Focus | ||
| 169 | - Serve users' needs first | ||
| 170 | - Build what's actually useful | ||
| 171 | - Don't build what's just "cool" | ||
| 172 | - Measure and iterate | ||
| 173 | |||
| 174 | === Honest Assessment | ||
| 175 | - Don't cherry-pick examples | ||
| 176 | - Document failures openly | ||
| 177 | - Accept limitations | ||
| 178 | - No overpromising | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | == 5. POC Decision Gate | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | === After POC, Choose: | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | **GO (Proceed to Beta):** | ||
| 185 | - AI quality ≥70% without editing | ||
| 186 | - Approach validated | ||
| 187 | - Team confident | ||
| 188 | - Clear path to improvement | ||
| 189 | |||
| 190 | **NO-GO (Pivot or Stop):** | ||
| 191 | - AI quality < 60% | ||
| 192 | - Requires manual editing for most | ||
| 193 | - Fundamental flaws identified | ||
| 194 | - Not feasible with current technology | ||
| 195 | |||
| 196 | **ITERATE (Improve & Retry):** | ||
| 197 | - Concept has merit | ||
| 198 | - Specific improvements identified | ||
| 199 | - Addressable with better prompts | ||
| 200 | - Test again after changes | ||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | == 6. Key Risks & Mitigations | ||
| 203 | |||
| 204 | === Risk 1: AI Quality Not Good Enough | ||
| 205 | **Mitigation:** Extensive prompt testing, use best models | ||
| 206 | **Acceptance:** POC might fail - that's what testing reveals | ||
| 207 | |||
| 208 | === Risk 2: Users Don't Understand Output | ||
| 209 | **Mitigation:** Create clear explainer, test with real users | ||
| 210 | **Acceptance:** Iterate on explanation until comprehensible | ||
| 211 | |||
| 212 | === Risk 3: Approach Doesn't Scale | ||
| 213 | **Mitigation:** Start simple, add complexity only when proven | ||
| 214 | **Acceptance:** POC proves concept, beta proves scale | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | === Risk 4: Legal/Compliance Issues | ||
| 217 | **Mitigation:** Plan accessibility early, consult legal experts | ||
| 218 | **Acceptance:** Can't launch publicly without compliance | ||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | === Risk 5: Feature Creep | ||
| 221 | **Mitigation:** Strict scope discipline, say NO to additions | ||
| 222 | **Acceptance:** POC is minimal by design | ||
| 223 | |||
