The rules

Every rule, and how hard it binds

228 base rules across 14 domains and 9 structural layers. Filter them, then open one to see its condition tree, both branches, its exceptions and its sources.

16 rules match. Clear filters

  1. STR-003 Support consequential claims IF a paragraph makes a consequential factual claim, THEN provide evidence, cite it, qualify it, or remove the claim ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  2. CLR-020 Separate fact, inference, and opinion IF a paragraph contains facts, inferences, or opinions, THEN mark each proposition’s epistemic status when confusion would affect trust or decisions ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  3. VOI-011 Calibrate confidence to evidence IF wording expresses certainty, THEN match modal strength to evidence and uncertainty ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  4. ARG-004 Evidence matches claim type IF evidence type does not support the claim type, THEN replace, supplement, narrow, or remove the claim ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  5. ARG-006 Qualify to the evidence boundary IF claim scope exceeds evidence population, conditions, time, or uncertainty, THEN narrow or qualify the claim ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  6. ARG-008 Distinguish correlation from causation IF evidence is correlational AND the claim is causal, THEN add causal evidence, state a mechanism with tests, or change the claim to association ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  7. ARG-009 Name uncertainty and limitations IF evidence has material uncertainty, missing data, selection limits, or alternative explanations, THEN disclose them near the conclusion ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  8. ARG-011 Source quality matches stakes IF a claim is high-stakes, technical, medical, legal, financial, or scientific, THEN prefer primary authoritative evidence and independent corroboration ELSE use proportionate sourcing. Hard constraint
  9. ARG-014 Compare like with like IF compared items differ on an uncontrolled dimension that drives the result, THEN normalize, qualify, or reject the comparison ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  10. CPY-007 Proof appears after or near the claim IF a material sales claim is made, THEN attach the strongest appropriate proof close to it ELSE weaken or remove the claim. Hard constraint
  11. CPY-013 Urgency must be factual IF urgency or scarcity is claimed, THEN verify the real deadline, quantity, capacity, or consequence and disclose material conditions ELSE remove it. Hard constraint
  12. ETH-001 No known false statement IF a statement is known to be false, THEN correct or remove it ELSE continue to evidence review. Hard constraint
  13. ETH-002 Evaluate express and implied claims IF wording, visuals, omissions, sequence, or context could imply a material claim, THEN evaluate that implication as well as the literal sentence ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  14. ETH-003 Evidence exists before objective claim IF an objective material claim will be published, THEN verify a reasonable evidentiary basis existed before dissemination ELSE block the claim. Hard constraint
  15. ETH-004 Disclose material conditions IF price, outcome, eligibility, risk, timing, endorsement, or availability depends on a material condition, THEN disclose it clearly and near the claim ELSE retain. Hard constraint
  16. ETH-008 Preserve uncertainty in summaries IF source material expresses uncertainty, disagreement, limitation, or conditionality, THEN preserve it in summary ELSE retain. Hard constraint
