Vault note, not reviewed against the source. Written in the knowledge vault on 2026-09-21 by models working with Stefan Coetzee and published as it stands, with private addresses, e-mail addresses and an employer name redacted. Check claims against the primary source before relying on them.

Compare a sample of generated summaries or extracted figures with the source they came from. It is the only check that catches fluent, plausible, wrong output.
