How CitableEngine Works
Nine stages turn raw information into structured knowledge with evidence, provenance, and relationships attached.
1. Ingest
Business Records, websites, documents, structured data, approved sources.
2. Resolve
Identify entities. Match information to Records.
3. Extract
Convert information into structured facts.
4. Verify
Compare facts with supporting evidence.
5. Provenance
Track where information originated.
6. Score
Evaluate completeness, evidence, freshness, and structure.
7. Connect
Create relationships between entities.
8. Publish
Create machine-readable citable knowledge.
9. Distribute
Make information available to authorized surfaces and systems.
Distribution here means making information available to authorized surfaces and systems. CitableEngine does not currently publish to, control, or guarantee citations from any third-party AI or search platform.
Change Propagation
What happens when information changes.
A Record change is evaluated, matched, evidenced, and re-scored before anything downstream sees it.
