Abstract

A research workspace shaped around findings, evidence, uncertainty, and next actions.

01

The research object

Horizon stores a finding as more than rendered text. A finding includes its question, supporting claims, source references when available, uncertainty notes, and the configuration used to produce it.

That structure lets a user reopen the work and challenge one claim without regenerating the entire document. It also creates an audit surface for product evaluation.

02

Traceability without fake precision

Not every statement has a URL, and a URL alone does not prove a statement. Horizon only displays citations when source material is present and keeps model inference visibly separate from quoted or extracted evidence.

When a conclusion combines multiple sources, the system records the synthesis as an inference. This avoids attaching one convenient citation to a claim that no single source actually supports.

03

Uncertainty as useful output

Uncertainty should change what the user does next. Horizon names missing evidence, competing explanations, and the conditions that would overturn a conclusion.

The result is less theatrical than a confident chatbot answer, but more useful for decisions that need to survive review.
