A three-level audit separates conflicts in the corpus, retrieved context and generated answer rather than scoring only the final response.
Summary
A three-level audit separates conflicts in the corpus, retrieved context and generated answer rather than scoring only the final response.
Across 100 controlled query-corpus cases in five domains, the framework found that retrieval similarity, corpus quality and answer consistency can move in different directions. It makes supporting and contradictory source-linked facts inspectable but does not certify external truth.
