Statement Evaluation
Evaluation methods for assessing the factual accuracy and consensus of statements in the Fide Context Graph.
Fide-StatementAccuracy-v1
Determine factual validity based on evidence.
Is this specific statement factually true? This method is strictly for Objective Facts (e.g., "2 + 2 = 4", "Transaction 0x123 occurred").
Evaluation
| Statement Part | Raw Identifier | Fide ID |
|---|---|---|
| Subject | The Statement being evaluated | did:fide:0x60 |
| Predicate | Fide-StatementAccuracy-v1 EvaluationMethod (e.g., GitHub spec link) | did:fide:0xe5 |
| Object | Verdict value: -1, 0, or 1 | did:fide:0x66 |
Evaluation Process
- Input: Subject Statement + linked evidence statements (e.g.,
schema:citationreferences) - Retrieval: Search external ground truth (Wikidata, Corporate DB) for the Subject
- Cross-Reference: Compare the Statement assertion against evidence
- Verdict Logic:
- True (
1): Supported by >1 trusted source or cryptographic proof - False (
-1): Contradicted by >1 trusted source - Unverified (
0): Insufficient data
- True (
Audit Trail: Link your verdict to the Action Entity that produced it using prov:wasGeneratedBy. This allows users to inspect the reasoning trace.
Fide-BridgingConsensus-v1
Measure agreement across diverse groups (Anti-Mob Rule).
Does this statement have broad consensus? This algorithm rewards agreement from opposing groups (Community Notes style) to reduce sybil-driven outcomes.
Evaluation
| Statement Part | Raw Identifier | Fide ID |
|---|---|---|
| Subject | The Statement being evaluated | did:fide:0x60 |
| Predicate | Fide-BridgingConsensus-v1 EvaluationMethod (e.g., GitHub spec link) | did:fide:0xe5 |
| Object | Consensus score: 0 to 100 | did:fide:0x66 |
Evaluation Process
- Input: Subject Statement + Set of Verdicts
- Cluster: Group voting Agents by historical voting similarity (e.g., matrix-factorization style clustering)
- Bridge: Identify statements that receive positive verdicts from opposing clusters
- Score: Higher scores go to statements that bridge the divide; lower scores go to statements only supported by one cluster
Output Scale
| Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|
80-100 | Strong cross-group consensus |
50-79 | Moderate agreement across some groups |
20-49 | Limited consensus, mostly single-group support |
0-19 | No bridging consensus detected |
