Every line in a draft names its source.
Oat reads your archive first, dates every source, links each claim to an excerpt or holds it, and Dollop checks the piece.
- Your archive is read first, so drafts never repeat you.
- Each source keeps its excerpt and retrieval date.
- Dollop shows a missing result as missing, never passed.

Retrieved 22 Sep 2026Dollop could not assess this claim. The excerpt is shown; the call is yours.
Oat reads your archive before it writes.
The prior coverage a draft used is listed on the piece, and every fresh source keeps its excerpt and retrieval date.
A claim without a source is held in view.
A claim or figure Oat cannot support is marked and held, so Oat never publishes around a hole or fills one with a zero.
Evidence states
- Evidence available
- The claim links to an excerpt with address and date.
- Needs evidence
- No source supports the line, so it waits for you.
- Assessment unavailable
- Dollop could not run, so nothing is shown as passed.
Dollop checks the piece and says when it cannot.
Dollop reads each revision against your brief, prior coverage, evidence and voice rules, and it never decides truth, authorship or approval.
What Dollop says
- Dollop complete
- The check ran and found nothing to raise.
- Dollop flagged
- Something to look at, named with its passage.
- Dollop abstained
- Not enough context to judge, so the piece waits.
Oat repairs a flag a fixed number of times.
Each repair attempt is a new revision, and if the flag stands after the last try, the fix is yours.
