# Verified Claims

> Maintain reusable, sourced facts and reuse them as pre-cleared evidence in future generations.

**Verified Claims**, under Intelligence in the sidebar, is a registry of approved facts — a statistic, a regulatory position, a client-specific detail — sourced and reviewed once, then reused as pre-cleared evidence instead of being re-researched or retyped for every generation.

## Claim Lifecycle

A claim moves through four states: `draft`, `approved`, `expired`, or `rejected`.

* **Approval requires a source URL.** A claim cannot be approved until it carries a link to what supports it.
* **Expiration is explicit.** A claim can carry an expiration date; once passed, it reads as expired regardless of its stored status.
* **Re-approving an expired claim requires setting a new expiration.** Approving it again does not silently extend the old date — you either supply a new one or clear it.

## Scope

A claim can be scoped to a **vertical** (healthcare, legal, fintech, ...) and a **jurisdiction** (US, a state, a region). A claim with a jurisdiction is only offered to generations in that same jurisdiction; a claim with no jurisdiction set stays available everywhere. This keeps a claim that's only true under one regulatory regime from being retrieved into a generation it doesn't apply to.

## Using the Registry

<Steps>
  <Step title="Draft a claim">
    State the exact fact, preserving every qualifier and limitation. Attach a source title and URL, and optionally a vertical, jurisdiction, expiration, and tags.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve">
    A claim needs a source URL before it can be approved. Once approved, it becomes eligible evidence for matching future generations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reuse">
    Approved, unexpired claims are retrieved automatically when [Adaptive Intelligence](/product/adaptive-intelligence)'s "Use verified claims" control is on and the generation's vertical and jurisdiction match.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Expire or revalidate">
    Mark a claim expired when it's no longer current. Re-approving it requires a fresh expiration date rather than reinstating the old one.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Citations built from a verified claim are capped together with the claim text they support — a source can't survive a generation's source-count limit while the claim it backs is trimmed by a separate limit, which previously left a citation with nothing behind it.
