Integrity Check · A 30-second test
Test one sentence
Paste one sentence from a draft statement. Choose the evidence code that supports it. The check returns one of three verdicts: publishable as stated, publishable with qualification, or not publishable as fact. It runs on fixed rules, listed below, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
The rules this check applies
- Rule A
A sentence with evidence at E4 or E5, no absolute wording, and a figure that passes all five tests is publishable as stated.
- Rule B
A sentence with evidence at E2 or E3, or one at E4 or higher that contains an absolute or an untested figure, is publishable with qualification: the practice is stated with its limitation, or the figure is narrowed to what the tests support.
- Rule C
A sentence with evidence at E0 or E1 is not publishable as fact. It is publishable as a principle, as an approved action ("Our board has approved..."), or as a commitment ("We intend to...") with an owner and a date.
- Rule D
A sentence written as a plan ("will," "intend," "by [date]") is publishable at any code once it names an owner, resources, a completion date, and a public reporting date.
- Rule E
Absolute wording ("every," "all," "always," "guarantee," "eliminated") is flagged at every code. Absolutes rarely survive disaggregation.
- Rule F
E5 is accepted only when the public-reproducibility or audit box is checked.
The check reads wording and the code you select. It does not verify your evidence, and it does not use a language model. The full instrument explains the codes in Part III and the rules in Part II.
