This is the default entry point to Zetesis. It returns the source catalog and the
grading rubric so you can work out which evidence dimensions actually matter for
THIS claim and what to search for, then you call zetesis_evidence with the queries
you chose and grade what comes back.
Use it whenever a claim needs assessing, screening, sanity-checking, or due
diligence: a research claim, a study, a paper, an abstract, a preprint, a grant, or
a pitch. Also use it before citing a paper or statistic in your own answer.
Returns three things: the source catalog (where to look), the diligence
apparatus for this claim's class (what to ask, and the failure patterns that
have caught comparable claims before), and the scoping rubric.
Runs no model, costs nothing, and returns immediately. This two-step route is
preferred over evaluate_claim on every axis that matters: it is instant rather than
minutes, it reads the sources at full depth in your context rather than at abstract
level, and it supports evaluating a claim as it stood in an earlier year.
Args:
claim: the claim to evaluate, in one or two sentences.
context: optional background (stage, field, the decision at hand).
as_of: optional year. Set it to evaluate the claim as it stood at the end of that
year, grading how it was derived at the time rather than how it turned out.
claim_class: optional override for the routed claim class. The response lists
every class; pass one back if the routing picked wrongly, or if nothing
routed.
