Accept explicitly supplied source content with a locator, stable source ID, trust flag, metadata and SHA-256 content digest.
Research & Data Factory is a bounded implemented foundation in the ILAIOS repository. It records source provenance, separates proposed claims from verified facts, performs deterministic bounded numeric analysis and fails closed when evidence requirements are not met.
The current implementation does not autonomously crawl arbitrary external sources or imply general-purpose research coverage. It operates on explicitly supplied evidence and promotes claims only when configured trusted-source gates pass.
Accept explicitly supplied source content with a locator, stable source ID, trust flag, metadata and SHA-256 content digest.
Keep a claim separate from fact status and require it to reference known source IDs instead of relying on unsupported model narration.
Require the configured minimum of trusted independent sources before a claim may become verified; the default bounded implementation requires two.
Unknown sources, duplicate evidence IDs, insufficient trusted support and invalid analysis inputs stop the workflow rather than silently weakening the gate.
For bounded numeric inputs, retain a canonical values digest with count, minimum, maximum and mean so repeated analysis is reproducible.
Only verified claims may project as Fact nodes, with Evidence nodes and explicit derived-from edges preserving provenance.
