2
3 == 1. POC Specification ==
4
5 === POC Goal
6 Prove that AI can extract claims and determine verdicts automatically without human intervention.
7
8 === POC Output (4 Components Only)
9
10 **1. ANALYSIS SUMMARY**
11 - 3-5 sentences
12 - How many claims found
13 - Distribution of verdicts
14 - Overall assessment
15
16 **2. CLAIMS IDENTIFICATION**
17 - 3-5 numbered factual claims
18 - Extracted automatically by AI
19
20 **3. CLAIMS VERDICTS**
21 - Per claim: Verdict label + Confidence % + Brief reasoning (1-3 sentences)
22 - Verdict labels: WELL-SUPPORTED / PARTIALLY SUPPORTED / UNCERTAIN / REFUTED
23
24 **4. ARTICLE SUMMARY (optional)**
25 - 3-5 sentences
26 - Neutral summary of article content
27
28 **Total output: ~200-300 words**
29
30 === What's NOT in POC
31
32 ❌ Scenarios (multiple interpretations)
33 ❌ Evidence display (supporting/opposing lists)
34 ❌ Source links
35 ❌ Detailed reasoning chains
36 ❌ User accounts, history, search
37 ❌ Browser extensions, API
38 ❌ Accessibility, multilingual, mobile
39 ❌ Export, sharing features
40 ❌ Any other features
41
42 === Critical Requirement
43
44 **FULLY AUTOMATED - NO MANUAL EDITING**
45
46 This is non-negotiable. POC tests whether AI can do this without human intervention.
47
48 === POC Success Criteria
49
50 **Passes if:**
51 - ✅ AI extracts 3-5 factual claims automatically
52 - ✅ AI provides reasonable verdicts (≥70% make sense)
53 - ✅ Output is comprehensible
54 - ✅ Team agrees approach has merit
55 - ✅ Minimal or no manual editing needed
56
57 **Fails if:**
58 - ❌ Claim extraction poor (< 60% accuracy)
59 - ❌ Verdicts nonsensical (< 60% reasonable)
60 - ❌ Requires manual editing for most analyses (> 50%)
61 - ❌ Team loses confidence in approach
62
63 === POC Architecture
64
65 **Frontend:** Simple input form + results display
66 **Backend:** Single API call to Claude (Sonnet 4.5)
67 **Processing:** One prompt generates complete analysis
68 **Database:** None required (stateless)
69
70 === POC Philosophy
71
72 > "Build less, learn more, decide faster. Test the hardest part first."
73
74
75
76 === Context-Aware Analysis (Experimental POC1 Feature) ===
77
78 **Problem:** Article credibility ≠ simple average of claim verdicts
79
80 **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.
81
82 **Solution (POC1 Test):** Approach 1 - Single-Pass Holistic Analysis
83 * Enhanced AI prompt to evaluate logical structure
84 * AI identifies main argument and assesses if it follows from evidence
85 * Article verdict may differ from claim average
86 * Zero additional cost, no architecture changes
87
88 **Testing:**
89 * 30-article test set
90 * Success: ≥70% accuracy detecting misleading articles
91 * Marked as experimental
92
93 **See:** [[Article Verdict Problem>>Test.FactHarbor.Specification.POC.Article-Verdict-Problem]] for full analysis and solution approaches.
94
95
96 == 2. POC2 Specification ==
97
98 === POC2 Goal ===
99 Prove that AKEL produces high-quality outputs consistently at scale with complete quality validation.
100
101 === POC2 Enhancements (From POC1) ===
102
103 **1. COMPLETE QUALITY GATES (All 4)**
104 * Gate 1: Claim Validation (from POC1)
105 * Gate 2: Evidence Relevance ← NEW
106 * Gate 3: Scenario Coherence ← NEW
107 * Gate 4: Verdict Confidence (from POC1)
108
109 **2. EVIDENCE DEDUPLICATION (FR54)**
110 * Prevent counting same source multiple times
111 * Handle syndicated content (AP, Reuters)
112 * Content fingerprinting with fuzzy matching
113 * Target: >95% duplicate detection accuracy
114
115 **3. CONTEXT-AWARE ANALYSIS (Conditional)**
116 * **If POC1 succeeds (≥70%):** Implement as standard feature
117 * **If POC1 promising (50-70%):** Try weighted aggregation approach
118 * **If POC1 fails (<50%):** Defer to post-POC2
119 * Detects articles with accurate claims but misleading conclusions
120
121 **4. QUALITY METRICS DASHBOARD (NFR13)**
122 * Track hallucination rates
123 * Monitor gate performance
124 * Evidence quality metrics
125 * Processing statistics
126
127 === What's Still NOT in POC2 ===
128
129 ❌ User accounts, authentication
130 ❌ Public publishing interface
131 ❌ Social sharing features
132 ❌ Full production security (comes in Beta 0)
133 ❌ In-article claim highlighting (comes in Beta 0)
134
135 === Success Criteria ===
136
137 **Quality:**
138 * Hallucination rate <5% (target: <3%)
139 * Average quality rating ≥8.0/10
140 * Gates identify >95% of low-quality outputs
141
142 **Performance:**
143 * All 4 quality gates operational
144 * Evidence deduplication >95% accurate
145 * Quality metrics tracked continuously
146
147 **Context-Aware (if implemented):**
148 * Maintains ≥70% accuracy detecting misleading articles
149 * <15% false positive rate
150
151 **Total Output Size:** Similar to POC1 (~220-350 words per analysis)

157 == 2. Key Strategic Recommendations
158
159 === Immediate Actions
160
161 **For POC:**
162 1. Focus on core functionality only (claims + verdicts)
163 2. Create basic explainer (1 page)
164 3. Test AI quality without manual editing
165 4. Make GO/NO-GO decision
166
167 **Planning:**
168 1. Define accessibility strategy (when to build)
169 2. Decide on multilingual priorities (which languages first)
170 3. Research media verification options (partner vs build)
171 4. Evaluate browser extension approach
172
173 === Testing Strategy
174
175 **POC Tests:** Can AI do this without humans?
176 **Beta Tests:** What do users need? What works? What doesn't?
177 **Release Tests:** Is it production-ready?
178
179 **Key Principle:** Test assumptions before building features.
180
181 === Build Sequence (Priority Order)
182
183 **Must Build:**
184 1. Core analysis (claims + verdicts) ← POC
185 2. Educational resources (basic → comprehensive)
186 3. Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) ← Legal requirement
187
188 **Should Build (Validate First):**
189 4. Browser extensions ← Test demand
190 5. Media verification ← Pilot with existing tools
191 6. Multilingual ← Start with 2-3 languages
192
193 **Can Build Later:**
194 7. Mobile apps ← PWA first
195 8. ClaimReview schema ← After content library
196 9. Export features ← Based on user requests
197 10. Everything else ← Based on validation
198
199 === Decision Framework
200
201 **For each feature, ask:**
202 1. **Importance:** Risk + Impact + Strategy alignment?
203 2. **Urgency:** Fail fast + Legal + Promises?
204 3. **Validation:** Do we know users want this?
205 4. **Priority:** When should we build it?
206
207 **Don't build anything without answering these questions.**
208
209 == 4. Critical Principles
210
211 === Automation First
212 - AI makes content decisions
213 - Humans improve algorithms
214 - Scale through code, not people
215
216 === Fail Fast
217 - Test assumptions quickly
218 - Don't build unvalidated features
219 - Accept that experiments may fail
220 - Learn from failures
221
222 === Evidence Over Authority
223 - Transparent reasoning visible
224 - No single "true/false" verdicts
225 - Multiple scenarios shown
226 - Assumptions made explicit
227
228 === User Focus
229 - Serve users' needs first
230 - Build what's actually useful
231 - Don't build what's just "cool"
232 - Measure and iterate
233
234 === Honest Assessment
235 - Don't cherry-pick examples
236 - Document failures openly
237 - Accept limitations
238 - No overpromising
239
240 == 5. POC Decision Gate
241
242 === After POC, Choose:
243
244 **GO (Proceed to Beta):**
245 - AI quality ≥70% without editing
246 - Approach validated
247 - Team confident
248 - Clear path to improvement
249
250 **NO-GO (Pivot or Stop):**
251 - AI quality < 60%
252 - Requires manual editing for most
253 - Fundamental flaws identified
254 - Not feasible with current technology
255
256 **ITERATE (Improve & Retry):**
257 - Concept has merit
258 - Specific improvements identified
259 - Addressable with better prompts
260 - Test again after changes
261
262 == 6. Key Risks & Mitigations
263
264 === Risk 1: AI Quality Not Good Enough
265 **Mitigation:** Extensive prompt testing, use best models
266 **Acceptance:** POC might fail - that's what testing reveals
267
268 === Risk 2: Users Don't Understand Output
269 **Mitigation:** Create clear explainer, test with real users
270 **Acceptance:** Iterate on explanation until comprehensible
271
272 === Risk 3: Approach Doesn't Scale
273 **Mitigation:** Start simple, add complexity only when proven
274 **Acceptance:** POC proves concept, beta proves scale
275
276 === Risk 4: Legal/Compliance Issues
277 **Mitigation:** Plan accessibility early, consult legal experts
278 **Acceptance:** Can't launch publicly without compliance
279
280 === Risk 5: Feature Creep
281 **Mitigation:** Strict scope discipline, say NO to additions
282 **Acceptance:** POC is minimal by design
283
