Every time Wu-Weism produces a hypothesis, observation, or counterfactual finding, it writes a record to the Claim Ledger — automatically, without any action on your part. This page explains what that record contains, how to navigate and filter your claims, and how to export them.Documentation Index

The Claim Ledger
The Claim Ledger is a persistent, append-only log of every claim produced during your sessions. You cannot silently overwrite or discard a claim — you can only reconcile it with newer evidence. This design ensures that your reasoning trail is always auditable, even when your conclusions change.The Claim Ledger records claims from all three Wu-Weism surfaces: Causal Workbench, Hybrid Synthesis, and Legal Causation. Each claim carries a
source_feature field so you always know where it originated.Claim structure
Each claim in the ledger exposes the following fields.Field reference
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
claim_text | The full hypothesis, observation, or finding as a natural-language statement. |
claim_kind | One of hypothesis, observation, or counterfactual. Reflects where on Pearl’s causal ladder the claim sits. |
status | active means the claim stands. reconciled means newer evidence has updated or superseded it. |
confidence_score | A value from 0.0 to 1.0 representing the model’s confidence in the claim given available evidence and the SCM structure. |
uncertainty_label | A human-readable summary of confidence: low (score < 0.4), medium (0.4–0.74), or high (≥ 0.75). |
source_feature | The surface that produced the claim: chat (Causal Workbench), hybrid (Hybrid Synthesis), or legal (Legal Causation). |
trace_id | Links this claim to the counterfactual trace that produced it. Follow this ID in Provenance to see the full reasoning chain. |
session_id | The workbench session that produced this claim. Use this to group all claims from a single research session. |
evidence_links | The sources backing the claim — PDFs you uploaded, company data, or web sources extracted during analysis. |
gate_decisions | The pass/fail outcomes of the falsifiability, identifiability, and novelty gates for this claim. See The Falsifiability Gate. |
Navigating your claims
Open /claims in the workbench to see your full claim history. Each row shows the claim text, kind, status, confidence score, and source.Filtering by source
Use the Source filter to narrow claims by the surface that produced them:- Chat — claims from structured causal dialogue sessions in the Causal Workbench.
- Hybrid — claims from Hybrid Synthesis multi-document analysis.
- Legal — claims from Legal Causation sessions.
Filtering by session
If you want to review all claims from a single research session, use the Session filter or pass asessionId query parameter to the API (see Exporting claims below).
Filtering by status
Toggle the Status filter to show onlyactive claims, or include reconciled ones to see the full history including superseded findings.
Claim reconciliation
When new evidence challenges a previous claim — for example, a new PDF upload contradicts an earlier finding — Wu-Weism can flag the drift.New evidence is processed
You upload a new document or run a new analysis that produces a claim conflicting with an existing
active claim.Drift is detected
Wu-Weism compares the new claim against existing active claims in the same session. If the new claim materially contradicts an earlier one, both claims are annotated with a drift warning.
You review and reconcile
In the Claim Ledger, claims flagged for drift appear with a Reconcile prompt. You can mark the older claim as
reconciled, which preserves it in the ledger but marks it as superseded by the newer finding.Exporting claims
Retrieve claims programmatically via the REST API.Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
limit | integer | Number of claims to return. Range: 1–100. Default: 20. |
sourceFeature | string | Filter by source: chat, hybrid, or legal. |
sessionId | string | Return only claims from a specific session. |
traceId | string | Return only claims linked to a specific counterfactual trace. |

What fields does the API return?
What fields does the API return?
The
GET /api/claims endpoint returns: id, source_feature, claim_kind, status, confidence_score, uncertainty_label, trace_id, session_id, and created_at. To retrieve full claim detail including claim_text, evidence_links, and gate_decisions, fetch an individual claim by ID.Can I retrieve claims from multiple sessions at once?
Can I retrieve claims from multiple sessions at once?
Yes. Omit the
sessionId parameter to retrieve claims across all sessions, subject to the limit. For large exports, paginate using the limit parameter and filter by created_at on your side.Can I delete a claim via the API?
Can I delete a claim via the API?
No. The Claim Ledger is append-only. You can reconcile a claim (marking it as
reconciled) but you cannot delete records. This preserves the integrity of your audit trail.Are claims shared across team members?
