Use case

Fact-check AI-generated research before you publish

The problem

AI research tools produce confident reports with fabricated citations — references that don’t exist, or real sources that say something different. A Big Four firm partially refunded a government client over exactly this; courts have sanctioned lawyers six figures for it.

Checking 60 citations by hand takes hours, so in practice nobody does it.

How Stipple helps

Stipple resolves every citation (live, archived, or dead), matches academic references against their real titles to catch “right link, wrong paper”, recomputes the document’s own arithmetic, and — in deep mode — reads each source to judge whether it supports the claim it’s attached to.

Every check produces a public, shareable permalink: a verification record you can attach to the deliverable.

The call

bash

curl -X POST https://www.stipple.sh/v1/verify-references \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/research-report.pdf"}'
# → { "summary": { "headline": "60/63 citations resolve; 3 dead links" },
#     "permalink": "https://www.stipple.sh/fc/research-report-…" }

Make it a publishing gate: no AI-assisted report ships until its fact-check permalink is green enough for a reviewer to sign off.
