Real context moved 11.6pp on Citation Resolution Failure.

Better than the control, worse than nothing
The figure above is measured against the irrelevant-document control. Against no context at all this card is worse: 24% bare against 30% with the best supplied source. What the source repaired is damage the presence of a document did.

~intervals overlap — not separated from no change

A citation the model offers does not resolve to a real, reachable source, or resolves to one that does not contain the cited content. The rule

The claim is folklore. No such study exists, so any citation is fabricated.

Residual — what survives

Supplying context did not reduce this failure, it increased it: 24% with no context against 33% under the strongest supplied source. What survives is therefore not a remainder but a substitution — the failures under context are 15 probes the detector still rejected, dominated by: 1 cited source.

Mitigations from the index — the claim

  • retrieval-then-cite
  • refuse to fabricate identifiers
