What we check, and what we can't.
Every report lists each check as checked partial failed or not available, with the source and the time it ran. We never fill a gap with a guess.
Your papers
The main reading. Each finding quotes your papers; the quote is matched back to your extracted text to find the file and page. A finding whose quote cannot be found is marked unverified and its severity is lowered.
