What a claim is
A claim is one factual statement an answer makes about a brand: what it costs, what it does or lacks, what it integrates with, a certification, where it is available, or a fact about the company. Opinions are not claims. “Acme starts at $49 per seat” is a claim; “Acme is the easiest to use” is a stance, and is scored by sentiment instead. Every claim is a receipt, not a paraphrase:- The quote is the answer’s own words. A claim is kept only when its quote appears in the answer’s text, with spacing normalized. A statement reworded by the model that reads the answer is dropped.
- It names who it is about. You (your brand, or a part of your brand family you confirmed), a tracked competitor, or a domain the answer cited. A claim about a brand that resolves to none of these is not kept, because nothing could ever check it.
- It carries its sources. The links the answer attached to the sentence the claim is in, when it attached any.
Which facts a claim is checked against
Only claims about you are checked, and only against facts a person confirmed in your brand profile:- fields in What you sell, Differentiators and Proof, plus any field whose name is about pricing, wherever it is filed;
- that someone on the workspace confirmed. A field Attensira drafted from your site is our guess, not your word, and is never used;
- that are not stale. A confirmed field whose source page has changed since you confirmed it may no longer be true, and is set aside until it is confirmed again.
not_covered. Confirm your pricing, your integrations and your certifications first: those are the facts an answer gets wrong in a way that costs a sale.
The verdict
Each claim about you gets one of three verdicts:
A claim not checked yet shows Not checked yet.
Nothing to check against is not a wrong claim, and it is not a right one either. Your facts are silent on it, and silence is not a contradiction. If a claim keeps landing here and it matters, confirm the fact that settles it.
The verdict is a decision, made with a confidence. A contradiction is only treated as a wrong claim when that confidence is at least 80%. Below it, the verdict is kept with its confidence and nothing is raised.
When claims are checked
The check runs every night at 04:15 UTC, newest answers first, over the claims whose verdict is missing or out of date. A verdict goes out of date when:- the answer is read again and its claims change;
- you confirm, edit or un-confirm a fact. Every claim checked against the old facts is checked again against the new ones, starting the next night and newest answers first. You never re-run anything by hand.
The claim_wrong event
A wrong claim raises one claim_wrong event. It is raised once per distinct wrong statement against a fact: the same sentence, said by three engines on ten days, is one event. It is raised again only if the fact it contradicts is edited, because then it is a different question.
The check only flags. It never edits a fact, never files work and never approves anything. What happens next is up to whoever listens for the event.
Acting on it with an automation
claim_wrong is recorded in the same event log as the other event types, but it is not one you can pick yet: the dashboard, MCP and the REST API offer only the five listed there, and the built-in Event responder does not listen for it. Only an event automation saved with an empty event list, which listens for every type, acts on it. Such a run’s cause reads: “Because an AI answer said something about you that your confirmed company facts contradict.”
The event carries what a run needs without reading anything else:
When an automation does act on it, the event limits apply as for every event: at most 10 events per run and 3 runs per automation per rolling 24 hours, and events older than 48 hours are not acted on.
Where you see claims
- Over MCP and the REST API,
answer_historyandanswer_slicerows carry each answer’s extractedclaims, each withkind,subject(selffor you, otherwise a domain),quoteandcitation_positions.nullmeans the answer has not been read for claims yet;[]means it was read and made none. Verdicts are not on the answer rows. query_evidencecounts wrong claims with thewrong_claimsmetric, by day or week, prompt field, engine and surface. See MCP tools.- In the dashboard, the prompt page’s claims section and the analytics overview’s wrong-claims list do not show verdicts yet. Each says so in place of a list, rather than showing an empty one that would read as “nothing wrong”.
