1 = POC Summary (POC1 & POC2) =
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 === Context-Aware Analysis (Experimental POC1 Feature) ===
75
76 **Problem:** Article credibility ≠ simple average of claim verdicts
77
78 **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.
79
80 **Solution (POC1 Test):** Approach 1 - Single-Pass Holistic Analysis
81 * Enhanced AI prompt to evaluate logical structure
82 * AI identifies main argument and assesses if it follows from evidence
83 * Article verdict may differ from claim average
84 * Zero additional cost, no architecture changes
85
86 **Testing:**
87 * 30-article test set
88 * Success: ≥70% accuracy detecting misleading articles
89 * Marked as experimental
90
91 **See:** [[Article Verdict Problem>>FactHarbor.Specification.POC.Article-Verdict-Problem]] for full analysis and solution approaches.
92
93 == 2. POC2 Specification ==
94
95 === POC2 Goal ===
96 Prove that AKEL produces high-quality outputs consistently at scale with complete quality validation.
97
98 === POC2 Enhancements (From POC1) ===
99
100 **1. COMPLETE QUALITY GATES (All 4)**
101 * Gate 1: Claim Validation (from POC1)
102 * Gate 2: Evidence Relevance ← NEW
103 * Gate 3: Scenario Coherence ← NEW
104 * Gate 4: Verdict Confidence (from POC1)
105
106 **2. EVIDENCE DEDUPLICATION (FR54)**
107 * Prevent counting same source multiple times
108 * Handle syndicated content (AP, Reuters)
109 * Content fingerprinting with fuzzy matching
110 * Target: >95% duplicate detection accuracy
111
112 **3. CONTEXT-AWARE ANALYSIS (Conditional)**
113 * **If POC1 succeeds (≥70%):** Implement as standard feature
114 * **If POC1 promising (50-70%):** Try weighted aggregation approach
115 * **If POC1 fails (<50%):** Defer to post-POC2
116 * Detects articles with accurate claims but misleading conclusions
117
118 **4. QUALITY METRICS DASHBOARD (NFR13)**
119 * Track hallucination rates
120 * Monitor gate performance
121 * Evidence quality metrics
122 * Processing statistics
123
124 === What's Still NOT in POC2 ===
125
126 ❌ User accounts, authentication
127 ❌ Public publishing interface
128 ❌ Social sharing features
129 ❌ Full production security (comes in Beta 0)
130 ❌ In-article claim highlighting (comes in Beta 0)
131
132 === Success Criteria ===
133
134 **Quality:**
135 * Hallucination rate <5% (target: <3%)
136 * Average quality rating ≥8.0/10
137 * Gates identify >95% of low-quality outputs
138
139 **Performance:**
140 * All 4 quality gates operational
141 * Evidence deduplication >95% accurate
142 * Quality metrics tracked continuously
143
144 **Context-Aware (if implemented):**
145 * Maintains ≥70% accuracy detecting misleading articles
146 * <15% false positive rate
147
148 **Total Output Size:** Similar to POC1 (~220-350 words per analysis)
149
150 == 2. Key Strategic Recommendations
151
152 === Immediate Actions
153
154 **For POC:**
155 1. Focus on core functionality only (claims + verdicts)
156 2. Create basic explainer (1 page)
157 3. Test AI quality without manual editing
158 4. Make GO/NO-GO decision
159
160 **Planning:**
161 1. Define accessibility strategy (when to build)
162 2. Decide on multilingual priorities (which languages first)
163 3. Research media verification options (partner vs build)
164 4. Evaluate browser extension approach
165
166 === Testing Strategy
167
168 **POC Tests:** Can AI do this without humans?
169 **Beta Tests:** What do users need? What works? What doesn't?
170 **Release Tests:** Is it production-ready?
171
172 **Key Principle:** Test assumptions before building features.
173
174 === Build Sequence (Priority Order)
175
176 **Must Build:**
177 1. Core analysis (claims + verdicts) ← POC
178 2. Educational resources (basic → comprehensive)
179 3. Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) ← Legal requirement
180
181 **Should Build (Validate First):**
182 4. Browser extensions ← Test demand
183 5. Media verification ← Pilot with existing tools
184 6. Multilingual ← Start with 2-3 languages
185
186 **Can Build Later:**
187 7. Mobile apps ← PWA first
188 8. ClaimReview schema ← After content library
189 9. Export features ← Based on user requests
190 10. Everything else ← Based on validation
191
192 === Decision Framework
193
194 **For each feature, ask:**
195 1. **Importance:** Risk + Impact + Strategy alignment?
196 2. **Urgency:** Fail fast + Legal + Promises?
197 3. **Validation:** Do we know users want this?
198 4. **Priority:** When should we build it?
199
200 **Don't build anything without answering these questions.**
201
202 == 4. Critical Principles
203
204 === Automation First
205 - AI makes content decisions
206 - Humans improve algorithms
207 - Scale through code, not people
208
209 === Fail Fast
210 - Test assumptions quickly
211 - Don't build unvalidated features
212 - Accept that experiments may fail
213 - Learn from failures
214
215 === Evidence Over Authority
216 - Transparent reasoning visible
217 - No single "true/false" verdicts
218 - Multiple scenarios shown
219 - Assumptions made explicit
220
221 === User Focus
222 - Serve users' needs first
223 - Build what's actually useful
224 - Don't build what's just "cool"
225 - Measure and iterate
226
227 === Honest Assessment
228 - Don't cherry-pick examples
229 - Document failures openly
230 - Accept limitations
231 - No overpromising
232
233 == 5. POC Decision Gate
234
235 === After POC, Choose:
236
237 **GO (Proceed to Beta):**
238 - AI quality ≥70% without editing
239 - Approach validated
240 - Team confident
241 - Clear path to improvement
242
243 **NO-GO (Pivot or Stop):**
244 - AI quality < 60%
245 - Requires manual editing for most
246 - Fundamental flaws identified
247 - Not feasible with current technology
248
249 **ITERATE (Improve & Retry):**
250 - Concept has merit
251 - Specific improvements identified
252 - Addressable with better prompts
253 - Test again after changes
254
255 == 6. Key Risks & Mitigations
256
257 === Risk 1: AI Quality Not Good Enough
258 **Mitigation:** Extensive prompt testing, use best models
259 **Acceptance:** POC might fail - that's what testing reveals
260
261 === Risk 2: Users Don't Understand Output
262 **Mitigation:** Create clear explainer, test with real users
263 **Acceptance:** Iterate on explanation until comprehensible
264
265 === Risk 3: Approach Doesn't Scale
266 **Mitigation:** Start simple, add complexity only when proven
267 **Acceptance:** POC proves concept, beta proves scale
268
269 === Risk 4: Legal/Compliance Issues
270 **Mitigation:** Plan accessibility early, consult legal experts
271 **Acceptance:** Can't launch publicly without compliance
272
273 === Risk 5: Feature Creep
274 **Mitigation:** Strict scope discipline, say NO to additions
275 **Acceptance:** POC is minimal by design
276
