Why Trust UI Guide

The Why Trust panel turns “trust” into visible, clickable objects: evidence, timestamps, licences, and (when applicable) a signed receipt you can replay later.

At a glance

• Citation chips show who said what (domain + licence + timestamp).
• Domain diversity bar shows how many independent domains support the answer.
• Freshness shows how recent the underlying artefacts are (and what “as‑of” the run used).
• Licence status shows what you may reuse and what should stay citation-only.
• QUORUM (MiSES) view shows which artefacts support each claim (minimal evidence sets, not link dumps).
• Counterfactual banner appears when a credible source disagrees.

Findings banners

• PASS: integrity checks cleared for the chosen mode.
• WARN: something needs attention (stale sources, single-domain coverage, weak licence, performance drift).
• FAIL: a required integrity gate failed; no answer, or reduced functionality, until re-run or resolved.

Drawer details

• Artefacts list: source, quote span, timestamp, hash, and licence.
• QUORUM (MiSES): which artefacts support which claims (and what would break if removed).
• Counterfactuals: shown separately and labelled as disputed/contradictory evidence.
• Receipt (Verified/Audit): the signed CROWN record for replay and audit.

What to do next

• If WARN: add a recent source or a second independent domain (when available), then re-run in Verified or Audit.
• If FAIL: open the reason, adjust mode/scope/freshness, and try again; for blocked work, rely on saved history or open a dispute.
