Users maintain complete agency, as they curate their own 'trust list,' ensuring the credibility assessment aligns with their judgment. The system focuses on showing *where* information comes from, rather than delivering pre-determined verdicts. Every source listed includes the exact sentence used for its judgment.

It provides transparent summaries, ensuring that all findings are based exclusively on the information retrieved from the search, not pre-existing knowledge.
