Claim map

A claim map records what the agent asserted and how each assertion is supported, contradicted, qualified, reviewed, or left unverified.

Claim record

Field	Purpose
claim_id	Stable claim id.
claim_type	fact, recommendation, decision, summary, generated_field, artifact_section, policy, risk, or custom.
text / range_ref	Claim text or pointer into answer/artifact.
status	supported, partially_supported, unsupported, contradicted, unverified, not_applicable.
confidence	Optional calibrated confidence, rubric score, or confidence band.
support_edges	Links to source refs, verification results, artifact refs, telemetry refs, or provenance facts.
risk	User, safety, legal, financial, medical, operational, security, privacy, or business risk class.
owner_ref	Optional user, agent, policy, artifact, or external owner of the claim.

Claims SHOULD be granular enough to review. A whole answer as one claim is usually too coarse.

Support edge

Relationship	Meaning
supports	Evidence directly supports the claim.
partially_supports	Evidence supports part of the claim or requires qualifications.
contradicts	Evidence conflicts with the claim.
qualifies	Evidence narrows scope, applicability, or conditions.
background	Evidence is context but not direct support.
generated_from	Claim was derived from a tool result, model output, artifact, or human instruction.
verified_by	Claim was checked by a verification result.
reviewed_by	Claim was considered by a review verdict.

Claim status rules

• supported requires at least one supporting edge and no unresolved contradiction of equal or higher authority.
• partially_supported is preferred when evidence supports only a subset of the claim.
• contradicted must preserve the counter-evidence edge.
• unverified is honest when the system did not check or cannot check support.
• not_applicable should be used for opinion, formatting, or non-evidentiary content.
