Overview
Evaluate reliability and timeliness of information sources; filter low-quality content.
Source Authority Scoring
- Domain reputation: Known authoritative domains (e.g., official docs, .gov, .edu)
- Publisher track record: Historical accuracy; user ratings if available
- Expertise signals: Author credentials, institutional affiliation
Freshness Assessment
- Extract publication/update date from page metadata or content
- Score by recency; deprioritize stale content for time-sensitive topics
- Handle missing dates; infer from context when possible
Bias Detection
- Identify promotional, opinion, or advocacy content vs factual
- Flag potential conflicts of interest (e.g., vendor-authored comparisons)
