Pith Integrity automated scientific verification

What automated verification finds.

Every finding on this page was produced by a versioned detector, signed with the Pith Ed25519 key, and emitted to the paper's Open Graph Bundle. No human curates this feed. The resolver decides.

How this works

Pith runs 8 detectors on the corpus: DOI/arXiv compliance, identifier-title agreement, AI meta-comment regex, external link availability, citation-to-quotation validity, and 40-token shingle duplication. Each finding is keyed by a stable evidence hash, signed, and emitted to the paper's Pith Number Open Graph Bundle as a pith.integrity.v1 event.

Public findings use one of three verdict classes: incontrovertible, cross_source, or threshold_with_margin. Read the integrity protocol for exact detector contracts and evidence schemas.
