What is guaranteed
Two things are guaranteed by how the system is built. First, the reference list is grounded by construction: it is built only from sources actually retrieved during your analysis, with anything else removed before you see it. Second, claims that rest on retrieved evidence are cited, and a resolved citation links to the actual source it drew on. So the sources are real, and a resolved citation points to a real one.
What is not yet guaranteed
One honest limit, stated plainly: citations link claims to real retrieved sources, but the content of each claim is not yet mechanically verified against the source. A citation establishes that the source is real and was retrieved; it does not, on its own, establish that the source says exactly what the claim attributes to it. That last step, reading the source to confirm it supports the claim, is still yours to do.
Why we tell you this
A tool that overstates its own certainty makes you a worse thinker, not a better one. Kindred is built to help you form your own view, which only works if you know precisely how far the grounding carries and where your own judgment has to take over. The link is genuine; the final read is yours.
