Turn it on

Orient settings › VerifyLayer 2 VERIFY on this turn → on: Claim-by-claim semantic check this turn. It also runs from the Verify tab on any page. Review actions marked GROUNDED run it as part of their work.

The six rows

Layer Question it answers
Validate Is the text well-formed for its purpose — structure, required sections, no placeholders?
Evidence Does every claim that needs a source have one, and does the source resolve?
Review Does it meet the review rules for its type — fair balance, no promotional language, regulatory register?
Identify Are entities, products, indications and numbers consistent with the page and the record?
Fact-check Do the sourced claims say what the source says — claim by claim?
Yield Is the result usable — does it move the document to its next gate?

The footer of the tab spells it out: VERIFY = VALIDATE · EVIDENCE · REVIEW · IDENTIFY · FACT-CHECK · YIELD.

Layer 2 passed. Each row expands to its one-line result.

Reading the result

While it runs: Awaiting evidence assessment · LAYER PENDING · 6 PENDING. When done: LAYER 2 · PASSED (or the row that failed, with why) and the ODI badge — a 0–1 score of how well the document is defended on the evidence it cites. On an answer card the same result appears as the verification ribbon with chips Sources ✓ · Citations ✓ · Fair balance ! · MLR ○ (✓ passed, ! attention, ○ not run).

Stale

Any accepted edit marks VERIFY stale in the ledger. Re-run before a gate; the export names the version each result belongs to.
