Why every claim in a filing should cite its source

A carbon filing is an argument made of evidence. When a validator questions a sentence, the fastest answer is the page that supports it. Carbon Intel is built around that idea: nothing it writes stands on its own.

Answers with their passages

When you ask a question about your project, the answer lists the passages it rests on, ranked by how closely they match. Each citation opens the document at the relevant page, so you can confirm the claim before you rely on it.

Facts with their evidence

Registry fields extracted from your documents carry the passage they came from. Reviewing a fact means reading one excerpt, not searching a folder.

Drafts you can trace

Each generated PDD section cites the documents behind it. When a section needs work you can regenerate it, and the citations update with the text.

What this changes

• Inconsistencies between documents surface while drafting, not during validation.
• Reviewers check claims against sources instead of rebuilding the argument.
• The evidence trail is ready when the next question arrives.
