A coworker’s reply isn’t just a paragraph of text you have to take on faith. Every deliverable is built to show its own work — where a number came from, how confident the coworker actually is in it, and what it thinks you should do about it.

Why this matters

You want to know two things before you act on anything a coworker sends you: is this actually true, and how much should I trust it? Rather than asking you to just believe a polished-looking answer, the platform builds the receipts directly into the deliverable itself.

How it actually works

Specific stats and claims in a research deliverable get a numbered marker like [1], [2], with a matching source list at the end. Every hard number traces back to a real, specific source — not a vague “studies show” or “research indicates.”
Key findings get tagged as High, Medium, or Low confidence, depending on how strong the underlying evidence is — multiple solid, recent sources versus a single older source, or something pieced together from general web results. You can tell at a glance how much weight a specific claim can carry.
Every research deliverable ends with the coworker’s own read on it — overall confidence, any real limitations in what it found, and a clear recommendation. Not just a pile of data with no interpretation attached.
For a lot of research work, a second, independent pass re-checks specific claims against the original source material and flags anything that looks fabricated, weakly sourced, or misattributed — before it ever reaches you. This runs often, though exactly when it applies can vary by task type and channel, so treat it as a strong, frequent extra layer of scrutiny rather than an unconditional guarantee on every single task.
For visual work specifically, there’s a separate independent check that the numbers actually shown in a chart or dashboard match the real source data before anything ships — so a rounding error or a dropped row doesn’t quietly make it into something you present to someone else.

Concrete examples

  • A market-sizing figure in a research report shows up as “€2.4B market by 2027 [3]” with source [3] spelled out at the bottom — not just stated as fact.
  • A competitive analysis flags one specific claim as Low confidence because it only found one, slightly dated source — while the rest of the report is High confidence — so you know exactly where to double-check before making a decision.
  • A dashboard Alex builds gets checked against your original spreadsheet before delivery, catching a case where a filtered-out row would otherwise have skewed a total.

What this is not

This isn’t a guarantee that every answer is perfect, and it isn’t a black-box “trust score.” It’s a set of real, visible habits — citing sources, labeling confidence, being upfront about limitations, and checking work independently — that let you judge how much weight to put on something, rather than asking you to just trust the polish.

How this connects

This trust layer applies for as long as a task runs — see Tasks for the full picture. It’s part of what happens during execution, and it’s exactly what a draft review lets you check before anything is finalized. See Hannah for more on how research deliverables get built in the first place.
If a number or claim ever looks off, just ask — a coworker can walk you through exactly where it came from and how confident it really is.
