Verification
Checking that each claim in a report matches the source it cites, word for word or figure for figure.
What it means
Verification means opening the source behind each claim and confirming that it says what the report says. For a figure, the number, the unit, the date and the population must match. For a quote, the words must match. A claim with no source, or with a source that does not support it, fails the check.
Hyperresearch Deep records a verdict for each citation, such as supported, partially supported, unsupported or wrong source, and matches quotes against their sources. Other tools go less far. Whatever tool you use, check the figures that matter most before you publish or decide. A tool's self-check is a useful first pass, not a substitute for a person reading the source. Keep a short log of what you checked, what you changed and who signed off, so the review can be repeated.
