Trust & security
Built to be handed your most sensitive document.
Veridicta is meant to be trusted with a confidential, unpublished document and a high-stakes question: is every citation real? This page states, plainly and honestly, why you can rely on the answer, and where the limits are.
We do not train on your documents
Nothing you upload, paste, or cite is ever used to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine-learning model. Your text is used only to produce your result. The live service is stateless: we do not keep a copy of your document, and if we ever add saved history, stored text carries a 24-hour deletion window by default. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Verification is deterministic, not a guess
We are a verification tool, not an AI-detection tool. AI-detection guesses whether text was machine-written and is scientifically unreliable. Veridicta instead checks verifiable facts: each citation is resolved against open bibliographic databases (Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv; CourtListener for case law), and every verdict links to the retrievable source behind it. Either a record resolves or it does not.
We publish our false-positive rate
The most dangerous failure for a tool like this is calling a realsource fabricated. So we hold ourselves to a measured gate: on a held-out set of genuinely-existing references, our false-“fabricated” rate must stay below 1 to 2 percent before Pro is sold.
Latest held-out benchmark (June 2026): 0 of 22 real references across nine fields were wrongly flagged. The methodology is open and re-runnable (npm run benchmark).
Neutral language by design
A missing source never reads as an accusation. The strongest verdict we render is “Unverified, not in databases searched,” and we always name the databases we searched and surface, per scan, what we could and could not check. Books, paywalled works, and non-DOI references are listed explicitly, so “unverified” is read as “we could not reach a source,” never “the author made it up.”
What a certificate attests, and what it does not
A Source-Verification Certificate is a tamper-evident, cryptographically signed record of a mechanical check: which citations resolved to a real record, and which quoted passages were located in their cited source. It is evidence for a human reviewer, notlegal advice, and not “court-ready” or “regulator-ready.” Final judgment always rests with you. See our Terms.
Compliance roadmap
We believe in stating our posture honestly rather than implying certifications we do not hold:
- NowNo-training guarantee and stateless processing, in place today.
- NowData-minimization: no account required to scan, and we name every third-party processor, in place today.
- PlannedSOC 2 Type 1, planned (auditor engagement is the next trust milestone; we will publish it when complete, not before).
- PlannedConfigurable retention and data-deletion controls, planned alongside saved scan history.
