| 1 | = POC Requirements = | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | **Status:** ✅ Approved for Development | ||
| 4 | **Version:** 2.0 (Updated after Specification Cross-Check) | ||
| 5 | **Goal:** Prove that AI can extract claims and determine verdicts automatically without human intervention | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | == 1. POC Overview == | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | === 1.1 What POC Tests === | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | **Core Question:** | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | > Can AI automatically extract factual claims from articles and evaluate them with reasonable verdicts? | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | **What we're proving:** | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | * AI can identify factual claims from text | ||
| 18 | * AI can evaluate those claims and produce verdicts | ||
| 19 | * Output is comprehensible and useful | ||
| 20 | * Fully automated approach is viable | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | **What we're NOT testing:** | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | * Scenario generation (deferred to POC2) | ||
| 25 | * Evidence display (deferred to POC2) | ||
| 26 | * Production scalability | ||
| 27 | * Perfect accuracy | ||
| 28 | * Complete feature set | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | === 1.2 Scenarios Deferred to POC2 === | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | **Intentional Simplification:** | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | Scenarios are a core component of the full FactHarbor system (Claims → Scenarios → Evidence → Verdicts), but are **deliberately excluded from POC1**. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | **Rationale:** | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | * **POC1 tests:** Can AI extract claims and generate verdicts? | ||
| 39 | * **POC2 will add:** Scenario generation and management | ||
| 40 | * **Open questions remain:** Should scenarios be separate entities? How are they sequenced with evidence gathering? What's the optimal workflow? | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | **Design Decision:** | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | Prove basic AI capability first, then add scenario complexity based on POC1 learnings. This is good engineering: test the hardest part (AI fact-checking) before adding architectural complexity. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | **No Risk:** | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | Scenarios are additive complexity, not foundational. Deferring them to POC2 allows: | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | * Faster POC1 validation | ||
| 51 | * Learning from POC1 to inform scenario design | ||
| 52 | * Iterative approach: fail fast if basic AI doesn't work | ||
| 53 | * Flexibility to adjust scenario architecture based on POC1 insights | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | **Full System Workflow (Future):** | ||
| 56 | {{code}}Claims → Scenarios → Evidence → Verdicts{{/code}} | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | **POC1 Simplified Workflow:** | ||
| 59 | {{code}}Claims → Verdicts (scenarios implicit in reasoning){{/code}} | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | == 2. POC Output Specification == | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | === 2.1 Component 1: ANALYSIS SUMMARY (Context-Aware) === | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | **What:** Context-aware overview that considers both individual claims AND their relationship to the article's main argument | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | **Length:** 4-6 sentences | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | **Content (Required Elements):** | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | 1. **Article's main thesis/claim** - What is the article trying to argue or prove? | ||
| 72 | 2. **Claim count and verdicts** - How many claims analyzed, distribution of verdicts | ||
| 73 | 3. **Central vs. supporting claims** - Which claims are central to the article's argument? | ||
| 74 | 4. **Relationship assessment** - Do the claims support the article's conclusion? | ||
| 75 | 5. **Overall credibility** - Final assessment considering claim importance | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | **Critical Innovation:** | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | POC1 tests whether AI can understand that **article credibility ≠ simple average of claim verdicts**. An article might: | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | * Make accurate supporting facts but draw unsupported conclusions | ||
| 82 | * Have one false central claim that invalidates the whole argument | ||
| 83 | * Misframe accurate information to mislead | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | **Good Example (Context-Aware):** | ||
| 86 | {{code}}This article argues that coffee cures cancer based on its antioxidant | ||
| 87 | content. We analyzed 3 factual claims: 2 about coffee's chemical | ||
| 88 | properties are well-supported, but the main causal claim is refuted | ||
| 89 | by current evidence. The article confuses correlation with causation. | ||
| 90 | Overall assessment: MISLEADING - makes an unsupported medical claim | ||
| 91 | despite citing some accurate facts.{{/code}} | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | **Poor Example (Simple Aggregation - Don't Do This):** | ||
| 94 | {{code}}This article makes 3 claims. 2 are well-supported and 1 is refuted. | ||
| 95 | Overall assessment: mostly accurate (67% accurate).{{/code}} | ||
| 96 | ↑ This misses that the refuted claim IS the article's main point! | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | **What POC1 Tests:** | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | Can AI identify and assess: | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | * ✅ The article's main thesis/conclusion? | ||
| 103 | * ✅ Which claims are central vs. supporting? | ||
| 104 | * ✅ Whether the evidence supports the conclusion? | ||
| 105 | * ✅ Overall credibility considering logical structure? | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | **If AI Cannot Do This:** | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | That's valuable to learn in POC1! We'll: | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | * Note as limitation | ||
| 112 | * Fall back to simple aggregation with warning | ||
| 113 | * Design explicit article-level analysis for POC2 | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | === 2.2 Component 2: CLAIMS IDENTIFICATION === | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | **What:** List of factual claims extracted from article | ||
| 118 | **Format:** Numbered list | ||
| 119 | **Quantity:** 3-5 claims | ||
| 120 | **Requirements:** | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | * Factual claims only (not opinions/questions) | ||
| 123 | * Clearly stated | ||
| 124 | * Automatically extracted by AI | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | **Example:** | ||
| 127 | {{code}}CLAIMS IDENTIFIED: | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | [1] Coffee reduces diabetes risk by 30% | ||
| 130 | [2] Coffee improves heart health | ||
| 131 | [3] Decaf has same benefits as regular | ||
| 132 | [4] Coffee prevents Alzheimer's completely{{/code}} | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | === 2.3 Component 3: CLAIMS VERDICTS === | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | **What:** Verdict for each claim identified | ||
| 137 | **Format:** Per claim structure | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | **Required Elements:** | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | * **Verdict Label:** WELL-SUPPORTED / PARTIALLY SUPPORTED / UNCERTAIN / REFUTED | ||
| 142 | * **Confidence Score:** 0-100% | ||
| 143 | * **Brief Reasoning:** 1-3 sentences explaining why | ||
| 144 | * **Risk Tier:** A (High) / B (Medium) / C (Low) - for demonstration | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | **Example:** | ||
| 147 | {{code}}VERDICTS: | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | [1] WELL-SUPPORTED (85%) [Risk: C] | ||
| 150 | Multiple studies confirm 25-30% risk reduction with regular consumption. | ||
| 151 | |||
| 152 | [2] UNCERTAIN (65%) [Risk: B] | ||
| 153 | Evidence is mixed. Some studies show benefits, others show no effect. | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | [3] PARTIALLY SUPPORTED (60%) [Risk: C] | ||
| 156 | Some benefits overlap, but caffeine-related benefits are reduced in decaf. | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | [4] REFUTED (90%) [Risk: B] | ||
| 159 | No evidence for complete prevention. Claim is significantly overstated.{{/code}} | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | **Risk Tier Display:** | ||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | * **Tier A (Red):** High Risk - Medical/Legal/Safety/Elections | ||
| 164 | * **Tier B (Yellow):** Medium Risk - Policy/Science/Causality | ||
| 165 | * **Tier C (Green):** Low Risk - Facts/Definitions/History | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | **Note:** Risk tier shown for demonstration purposes in POC. Full system uses risk tiers to determine review workflow. | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | === 2.4 Component 4: ARTICLE SUMMARY (Optional) === | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | **What:** Brief summary of original article content | ||
| 172 | **Length:** 3-5 sentences | ||
| 173 | **Tone:** Neutral (article's position, not FactHarbor's analysis) | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | **Example:** | ||
| 176 | {{code}}ARTICLE SUMMARY: | ||
| 177 | |||
| 178 | Health News Today article discusses coffee benefits, citing studies | ||
| 179 | on diabetes and Alzheimer's. Author highlights research linking coffee | ||
| 180 | to disease prevention. Recommends 2-3 cups daily for optimal health.{{/code}} | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | === 2.5 Component 5: USAGE STATISTICS (Cost Tracking) === | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | **What:** LLM usage metrics for cost optimization and scaling decisions | ||
| 185 | |||
| 186 | **Purpose:** | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | * Understand cost per analysis | ||
| 189 | * Identify optimization opportunities | ||
| 190 | * Project costs at scale | ||
| 191 | * Inform architecture decisions | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | **Display Format:** | ||
| 194 | {{code}}USAGE STATISTICS: | ||
| 195 | • Article: 2,450 words (12,300 characters) | ||
| 196 | • Input tokens: 15,234 | ||
| 197 | • Output tokens: 892 | ||
| 198 | • Total tokens: 16,126 | ||
| 199 | • Estimated cost: $0.24 USD | ||
| 200 | • Response time: 8.3 seconds | ||
| 201 | • Cost per claim: $0.048 | ||
| 202 | • Model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514{{/code}} | ||
| 203 | |||
| 204 | **Why This Matters:** | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | At scale, LLM costs are critical: | ||
| 207 | |||
| 208 | * 10,000 articles/month ≈ $200-500/month | ||
| 209 | * 100,000 articles/month ≈ $2,000-5,000/month | ||
| 210 | * Cost optimization can reduce expenses 30-50% | ||
| 211 | |||
| 212 | **What POC1 Learns:** | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | * How cost scales with article length | ||
| 215 | * Prompt optimization opportunities (caching, compression) | ||
| 216 | * Output verbosity tradeoffs | ||
| 217 | * Model selection strategy (Sonnet vs. Haiku) | ||
| 218 | * Article length limits (if needed) | ||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | **Implementation:** | ||
| 221 | |||
| 222 | * Claude API already returns usage data | ||
| 223 | * No extra API calls needed | ||
| 224 | * Display to user + log for aggregate analysis | ||
| 225 | * Test with articles of varying lengths | ||
| 226 | |||
| 227 | **Critical for GO/NO-GO:** Unit economics must be viable at scale! | ||
| 228 | |||
| 229 | === 2.6 Total Output Size === | ||
| 230 | |||
| 231 | **Combined:** 220-350 words | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | * Analysis Summary (Context-Aware): 60-90 words (4-6 sentences) | ||
| 234 | * Claims Identification: 30-50 words | ||
| 235 | * Claims Verdicts: 100-150 words | ||
| 236 | * Article Summary: 30-50 words (optional) | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | **Note:** Analysis summary is slightly longer (4-6 sentences vs. 3-5) to accommodate context-aware assessment of article structure and logical reasoning. | ||
| 239 | |||

| 291 | == 4. POC Simplifications vs. Full System == | ||
| 292 | |||
| 293 | === 4.1 Architecture Comparison === | ||
| 294 | |||
| 295 | **POC Architecture (Simplified):** | ||
| 296 | {{code}}User Input → Single AKEL Call → Output Display | ||
| 297 | (all processing){{/code}} | ||
| 298 | |||
| 299 | **Full System Architecture:** | ||
| 300 | {{code}}User Input → Claim Extractor → Claim Classifier → Scenario Generator | ||
| 301 | → Evidence Summarizer → Contradiction Detector → Verdict Generator | ||
| 302 | → Quality Gates → Publication → Output Display{{/code}} | ||
| 303 | |||
| 304 | **Key Differences:** | ||
| 305 | |||
| 306 | |=Aspect|=POC1|=Full System | ||
| 307 | |Processing|Single API call|Multi-component pipeline | ||
| 308 | |Scenarios|None (implicit)|Explicit entities with versioning | ||
| 309 | |Evidence|Basic retrieval|Comprehensive with quality scoring | ||
| 310 | |Quality Gates|Simplified (4 basic checks)|Full validation infrastructure | ||
| 311 | |Workflow|3 steps (input/process/output)|6 phases with gates | ||
| 312 | |Data Model|Stateless (no database)|PostgreSQL + Redis + S3 | ||
| 313 | |Architecture|Single prompt to Claude|AKEL Orchestrator + Components | ||
| 314 | |||
| 315 | === 4.2 Workflow Comparison === | ||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | **POC1 Workflow:** | ||
| 318 | |||
| 319 | 1. User submits text/URL | ||
| 320 | 2. Single AKEL call (all processing in one prompt) | ||
| 321 | 3. Display results | ||
| 322 | **Total: 3 steps, 10-18 seconds** | ||
| 323 | |||
| 324 | **Full System Workflow:** | ||
| 325 | |||
| 326 | 1. **Claim Submission** (extraction, normalization, clustering) | ||
| 327 | 2. **Scenario Building** (definitions, assumptions, boundaries) | ||
| 328 | 3. **Evidence Handling** (retrieval, assessment, linking) | ||
| 329 | 4. **Verdict Creation** (synthesis, reasoning, approval) | ||
| 330 | 5. **Public Presentation** (summaries, landscapes, deep dives) | ||
| 331 | 6. **Time Evolution** (versioning, re-evaluation triggers) | ||
| 332 | **Total: 6 phases with quality gates, 10-30 seconds** | ||
| 333 | |||
| 334 | === 4.3 Why POC is Simplified === | ||
| 335 | |||
| 336 | **Engineering Rationale:** | ||
| 337 | |||
| 338 | 1. **Test core capability first:** Can AI do basic fact-checking without humans? | ||
| 339 | 2. **Fail fast:** If AI can't generate reasonable verdicts, pivot early | ||
| 340 | 3. **Learn before building:** POC1 insights inform full architecture | ||
| 341 | 4. **Iterative approach:** Add complexity only after validating foundations | ||
| 342 | 5. **Resource efficiency:** Don't build full system if core concept fails | ||
| 343 | |||
| 344 | **Acceptable Trade-offs:** | ||
| 345 | |||
| 346 | * ✅ POC proves AI capability (most risky assumption) | ||
| 347 | * ✅ POC validates user comprehension (can people understand output?) | ||
| 348 | * ❌ POC doesn't validate full workflow (test in Beta) | ||
| 349 | * ❌ POC doesn't validate scale (test in Beta) | ||
| 350 | * ❌ POC doesn't validate scenario architecture (design in POC2) | ||
| 351 | |||
| 352 | === 4.4 Gap Between POC1 and POC2/Beta === | ||
| 353 | |||
| 354 | **What needs to be built for POC2:** | ||
| 355 | |||
| 356 | * Scenario generation component | ||
| 357 | * Evidence Model structure (full) | ||
| 358 | * Scenario-evidence linking | ||
| 359 | * Multi-interpretation comparison | ||
| 360 | * Truth landscape visualization | ||
| 361 | |||
| 362 | **What needs to be built for Beta:** | ||
| 363 | |||
| 364 | * Multi-component AKEL pipeline | ||
| 365 | * Quality gate infrastructure | ||
| 366 | * Review workflow system | ||
| 367 | * Audit sampling framework | ||
| 368 | * Production data model | ||
| 369 | * Federation architecture (Release 1.0) | ||
| 370 | |||
| 371 | **POC1 → POC2 is significant architectural expansion.** | ||
| 372 | |||

| 437 | == 6. Quality Gates (Simplified Implementation) == | ||
| 438 | |||
| 439 | === 6.1 Overview === | ||
| 440 | |||
| 441 | Per FactHarbor Specification Section 6, all AI-generated content must pass quality gates before publication. POC implements **simplified versions** of the 4 mandatory gates. | ||
| 442 | |||
| 443 | **Full System Has 4 Gates:** | ||
| 444 | |||
| 445 | 1. Source Quality | ||
| 446 | 2. Contradiction Search (MANDATORY) | ||
| 447 | 3. Uncertainty Quantification | ||
| 448 | 4. Structural Integrity | ||
| 449 | |||
| 450 | **POC Implements Simplified Versions:** | ||
| 451 | |||
| 452 | * Focus on demonstrating concept | ||
| 453 | * Basic implementations sufficient | ||
| 454 | * Failures displayed to user (not blocking) | ||
| 455 | * Full system has comprehensive validation | ||
| 456 | |||
| 457 | === 6.2 Gate 1: Source Quality (Basic) === | ||
| 458 | |||
| 459 | **Full System Requirements:** | ||
| 460 | |||
| 461 | * Primary sources identified and accessible | ||
| 462 | * Source reliability scored against whitelist | ||
| 463 | * Citation completeness verified | ||
| 464 | * Publication dates checked | ||
| 465 | * Author credentials validated | ||
| 466 | |||
| 467 | **POC Implementation:** | ||
| 468 | |||
| 469 | * ✅ At least 2 sources found | ||
| 470 | * ✅ Sources accessible (URLs valid) | ||
| 471 | * ❌ No whitelist checking | ||
| 472 | * ❌ No credential validation | ||
| 473 | * ❌ No comprehensive reliability scoring | ||
| 474 | |||
| 475 | **Pass Criteria:** ≥2 accessible sources found | ||
| 476 | |||
| 477 | **Failure Handling:** Display error message, don't generate verdict | ||

| 580 | |||
| 581 | * Single Claude API call (Sonnet 4.5) | ||
| 582 | * One comprehensive prompt | ||
| 583 | * All processing in single request | ||
| 584 | * No separate components | ||
| 585 | * No orchestration layer | ||
| 586 | |||
| 587 | **Prompt Structure:** | ||
| 588 | {{code}}Task: Analyze this article and provide: | ||
| 589 | |||
| 590 | 1. Extract 3-5 factual claims | ||
| 591 | 2. For each claim: | ||
| 592 | - Determine verdict (WELL-SUPPORTED/PARTIALLY/UNCERTAIN/REFUTED) | ||
| 593 | - Assign confidence score (0-100%) | ||
| 594 | - Assign risk tier (A/B/C) | ||
| 595 | - Write brief reasoning (1-3 sentences) | ||
| 596 | 3. Generate analysis summary (3-5 sentences) | ||
| 597 | 4. Generate article summary (3-5 sentences) | ||
| 598 | 5. Run basic quality checks | ||
| 599 | |||
| 600 | Return as structured JSON.{{/code}} | ||
| 601 | |||
| 602 | **Processing Time:** 10-18 seconds (estimate) | ||
| 603 | |||
| 604 | === 7.2 Full System AKEL (Production) === | ||
| 605 | |||
| 606 | **Architecture:** | ||
| 607 | {{code}}AKEL Orchestrator | ||
| 608 | ├── Claim Extractor | ||
| 609 | ├── Claim Classifier (with risk tier assignment) | ||
| 610 | ├── Scenario Generator | ||
| 611 | ├── Evidence Summarizer | ||
| 612 | ├── Contradiction Detector | ||
| 613 | ├── Quality Gate Validator | ||
| 614 | ├── Audit Sampling Scheduler | ||
| 615 | └── Federation Sync Adapter (Release 1.0+){{/code}} | ||
| 616 | |||
| 617 | **Processing:** | ||
| 618 | |||
| 619 | * Parallel processing where possible | ||
| 620 | * Separate component calls | ||
| 621 | * Quality gates between phases | ||
| 622 | * Audit sampling selection | ||
| 623 | * Cross-node coordination (federated mode) | ||
| 624 | |||
| 625 | **Processing Time:** 10-30 seconds (full pipeline) | ||
| 626 | |||
| 627 | === 7.3 Why POC Uses Single Call === | ||
| 628 | |||
| 629 | **Advantages:** | ||
| 630 | |||
| 631 | * ✅ Simpler to implement | ||
| 632 | * ✅ Faster POC development | ||
| 633 | * ✅ Easier to debug | ||
| 634 | * ✅ Proves AI capability | ||
| 635 | * ✅ Good enough for concept validation | ||
| 636 | |||
| 637 | **Limitations:** | ||
| 638 | |||
| 639 | * ❌ No component reusability | ||
| 640 | * ❌ No parallel processing | ||
| 641 | * ❌ All-or-nothing (can't partially succeed) | ||
| 642 | * ❌ Harder to improve individual components | ||
| 643 | * ❌ No audit sampling | ||
| 644 | |||
| 645 | **Acceptable Trade-off:** | ||
| 646 | |||
| 647 | POC tests "Can AI do this?" not "How should we architect it?" | ||
| 648 | |||
| 649 | Full component architecture comes in Beta after POC validates concept. | ||
| 650 | |||
| 651 | === 7.4 Evolution Path === | ||
| 652 | |||
| 653 | **POC1:** Single prompt → Prove concept | ||
| 654 | **POC2:** Add scenario component → Test full pipeline | ||
| 655 | **Beta:** Multi-component AKEL → Production architecture | ||

| 1026 | |||
| 1027 | **Key Simplification:** Single API call does entire analysis | ||
| 1028 | |||
| 1029 | === 10.3 AI Prompt Strategy === | ||
| 1030 | |||
| 1031 | **Single Comprehensive Prompt:** | ||
| 1032 | {{code}}Task: Analyze this article and provide: | ||
| 1033 | |||
| 1034 | 1. Identify the article's main thesis/conclusion | ||
| 1035 | - What is the article trying to argue or prove? | ||
| 1036 | - What is the primary claim or conclusion? | ||
| 1037 | |||
| 1038 | 2. Extract 3-5 factual claims from the article | ||
| 1039 | - Note which claims are CENTRAL to the main thesis | ||
| 1040 | - Note which claims are SUPPORTING facts | ||
| 1041 | |||
| 1042 | 3. For each claim: | ||
| 1043 | - Determine verdict (WELL-SUPPORTED / PARTIALLY SUPPORTED / UNCERTAIN / REFUTED) | ||
| 1044 | - Assign confidence score (0-100%) | ||
| 1045 | - Assign risk tier (A: Medical/Legal/Safety, B: Policy/Science, C: Facts/Definitions) | ||
| 1046 | - Write brief reasoning (1-3 sentences) | ||
| 1047 | |||
| 1048 | 4. Assess relationship between claims and main thesis: | ||
| 1049 | - Do the claims actually support the article's conclusion? | ||
| 1050 | - Are there logical leaps or unsupported inferences? | ||
| 1051 | - Is the article's framing misleading even if individual facts are accurate? | ||
| 1052 | |||
| 1053 | 5. Run quality gates: | ||
| 1054 | - Check: ≥2 sources found | ||
| 1055 | - Attempt: Basic contradiction search | ||
| 1056 | - Calculate: Confidence scores | ||
| 1057 | - Verify: Structural integrity | ||
| 1058 | |||
| 1059 | 6. Write context-aware analysis summary (4-6 sentences): | ||
| 1060 | - State article's main thesis | ||
| 1061 | - Report claims found and verdict distribution | ||
| 1062 | - Note if central claims are problematic | ||
| 1063 | - Assess whether evidence supports conclusion | ||
| 1064 | - Overall credibility considering claim importance | ||
| 1065 | |||
| 1066 | 7. Write article summary (3-5 sentences: neutral summary of article content) | ||
| 1067 | |||
| 1068 | Return as structured JSON with quality gate results.{{/code}} | ||
| 1069 | |||
| 1070 | **One prompt generates everything.** | ||
| 1071 | |||
| 1072 | **Critical Addition:** | ||
| 1073 | |||
| 1074 | Steps 1, 2 (marking central claims), 4, and 6 are NEW for context-aware analysis. These test whether AI can distinguish between "accurate facts poorly reasoned" vs. "genuinely credible article." | ||

| 1307 | |||
| 1308 | {{code}} | ||
| 1309 | AI Quality < 60% → NO-GO (approach doesn't work) | ||
| 1310 | AI Quality 60-70% → ITERATE (improve and retry) | ||
| 1311 | AI Quality ≥70% → GO (proceed to POC2) | ||
| 1312 | {{/code}} | ||
| 1313 | |||
| 1314 | == 14. Key Risks & Mitigations == | ||
| 1315 | |||

| 1379 | * Keep focus on core question | ||
| 1380 | |||
| 1381 | **Acceptance:** POC is minimal by design | ||
| 1382 | |||
| 1383 | == 15. POC Philosophy == | ||
| 1384 | |||
| 1385 | === 15.1 Core Principles === | ||
| 1386 | |||
| 1387 | * | ||
| 1388 | ** | ||
| 1389 | **1. Build Less, Learn More | ||
| 1390 | * Minimum features to test hypothesis | ||
| 1391 | * Don't build unvalidated features | ||
| 1392 | * Focus on core question only | ||
| 1393 | |||
| 1394 | **2. Fail Fast** | ||
| 1395 | |||
| 1396 | * Quick test of hardest part (AI capability) | ||
| 1397 | * Accept that POC might fail | ||
| 1398 | * Better to discover issues early | ||
| 1399 | * Honest assessment over optimistic hope | ||
| 1400 | |||
| 1401 | **3. Test First, Build Second** | ||
| 1402 | |||
| 1403 | * Validate AI can do this before building platform | ||
| 1404 | * Don't assume it will work | ||
| 1405 | * Let results guide decisions | ||
| 1406 | |||
| 1407 | **4. Automation First** | ||
| 1408 | |||
| 1409 | * No manual editing allowed | ||
| 1410 | * Tests scalability, not just feasibility | ||
| 1411 | * Proves approach can work at scale | ||
| 1412 | |||
| 1413 | **5. Honest Assessment** | ||
| 1414 | |||
| 1415 | * Don't cherry-pick examples | ||
| 1416 | * Don't manually fix bad outputs | ||
| 1417 | * Document failures openly | ||
| 1418 | * Make data-driven decisions | ||
| 1419 | |||
| 1420 | === 15.2 What POC Is === | ||

| 1441 | * ✅ Approach validated | ||
| 1442 | * ✅ Proceed to POC2 (add scenarios) | ||
| 1443 | * ✅ Design full Evidence Model structure | ||
| 1444 | * ✅ Test multi-scenario comparison | ||
| 1445 | * ✅ Focus on improving AI quality from 70% → 90% | ||
| 1446 | |||
| 1447 | **If POC fails (< 60% AI quality):** | ||
| 1448 | |||
| 1449 | * ✅ Learn what doesn't work | ||
| 1450 | * ✅ Pivot to different approach | ||
| 1451 | * ✅ OR wait for better AI technology | ||
| 1452 | * ✅ Avoid wasting resources on non-viable approach | ||
| 1453 | |||
| 1454 | **Either way, POC provides clarity.** | ||

| 1493 | * Admin API for runtime provider switching | ||
| 1494 | * Cost comparison dashboard | ||
| 1495 | * Cross-provider output verification | ||
| 1496 | |||
| 1497 | **Success Criteria:** | ||
| 1498 | |||
| 1499 | * All LLM calls go through abstraction layer (no direct API calls) | ||
| 1500 | * Provider can be changed via environment variable without code changes | ||
| 1501 | * Cost tracking includes provider name in logs | ||
| 1502 | * Stage 2 falls back to cache on provider failure | ||
| 1503 | |||
| 1504 | **Implementation:** See [[POC1 API & Schemas Specification>>Test.FactHarbor V0\.9\.104.Specification.POC.API-and-Schemas.WebHome]] Section 6 | ||
| 1505 | |||
| 1506 | **Dependencies:** | ||
| 1507 | |||
| 1508 | * NFR-14 (Main Requirements) | ||
| 1509 | * Design Decision 9 | ||
| 1510 | * Architecture Section 2.2 | ||
| 1511 | |||
| 1512 | **Priority:** HIGH (P1) | ||
| 1513 | |||
| 1514 | **Rationale:** Even though POC1 uses single provider, abstraction must be in place from start to avoid costly refactoring later. |
