Share a citation set or integration request
Caus is looking for real AI/RAG outputs, research briefs, or evidence-backed claims where source independence matters. If you have a citation set from a real workflow — or want help integrating the public API — copy the template below and share it through the GitHub issue tracker.
Submission template
Copy this template, fill it in, and open a GitHub issue. Include as many cited source excerpts as you have (2–10). The more realistic the citation set, the more useful it is for improving the source-independence check.
## Citation set submission
**Use case:**
(e.g. AI/RAG output verification, research brief, journalism, analyst report)
**Context — AI answer, claim, or topic (optional):**
(Optional context for the citations you want checked for independence)
**Cited source excerpts:**
1. Title: ...
Source: ...
Excerpt: ...
2. Title: ...
Source: ...
Excerpt: ...
3. Title: ...
Source: ...
Excerpt: ...
**What you expected Caus to catch:**
(e.g. "sources 1 and 2 are the same press release republished")
**Real workflow or test example?**
(Is this from a real pipeline, or a constructed test?)
**API integration help needed?**
(e.g. "I want to call /api/citation-check from my RAG pipeline")
What we are looking for
Real citation sets
AI/RAG outputs, research briefs, news roundups, or analyst reports where you care whether the cited sources are independent or echoing the same story.
Edge cases the checker misses
Cases where the conservative TF-IDF grouping fails to collapse echoes, or incorrectly groups independent sources — these help calibrate the system.
Integration requests
If you want to call POST /api/citation-check from your pipeline and need help, describe your use case and we can help with integration.
Design-partner interest
If source independence matters to your workflow and you want to help shape the product, let us know what you are building.
Important caveats
- Submissions are not labels — they are not used as ground-truth labels for evaluation.
- Submissions are not validation — sharing a citation set does not validate the API or its results.
- Submissions are not accuracy receipts — no submission becomes a published accuracy receipt.
- Do not include private, confidential, personal, or sensitive data. Use only information you are comfortable sharing publicly on a GitHub issue.
- Caus checks source-independence / echo grouping — whether cited sources are independent or the same story echoed. It is not a truth verdict, not a fact-checker, and not an accuracy claim.
