H Score Verification

There is no standard for verifying AI citations. Current approaches use another AI model to check output — trading one source of error for another. There is no method to prove that a cited value was correctly extracted from a specific location in a specific document, rather than inferred, approximated, or fabricated.

Tasset’s H Score changes that. Every line and cell in a Tasset document has an ADAP coordinate. When an AI cites a source in a Tasset document, the H Score runs two deterministic checks.

F1: Does the anchor actually exist? If not, the citation is fabricated — caught instantly by a manifest lookup, no AI required.

F2: Does the quoted text match what is stored at that coordinate, character for character? If an AI drops words from a quote it may not be caught by a human reviewer. The H Score catches it because the string comparison has the stored text to check against.

Every citation gets classified and weighted. For fabricated anchors, F1= 1.0. For verbatim mismatches: F2=0.9. The weighted score across all citations produces a single number.

When every citation is verified accurate: H = 0.0. Every citation must be verified. No exceptions. Any score above zero flags which anchor failed, what type of failure, and what the stored text says versus what the AI quoted. H = 0.0 is the only clean result. Every fabrication leaves a structural trace. Every misquote leaves a structural trace. The score is math, not confidence.
