Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on pipeline depth, retention, BYOK, and how we treat citations and contradictions.
How is this different from ChatGPT Deep Research or Claude Research?
ResearchOne is plan-first and outcome-adaptive: it can run different specialist methods for explanation, comparison, verification, implementation research, or quantitative analysis. The comparison is structural auditability and explicit uncertainty handling versus a single chat-shaped pass.
What does Double-check actually do?
Double-check restates each main finding in its strongest form, then tests it against other sources and the original records, and tells you whether it holds up. Example: Finding: 'CISA requires paper ballots.' Double-check opens CISA's own document and finds the requirement → Holds up.
What happens when two high-tier sources disagree?
Both survive into the report with tier tags and a named contradiction block — no silent consensus rewrite.
Can ResearchOne forge or hallucinate a citation?
Findings without a verified source passage do not ship as cited. The Verifier gate blocks or downgrades them first.
How do Living updates work — will my old report change under me?
Each update is a new version with a diff trail. You pin, compare, or roll back; prior agreed versions remain addressable.
Can I export a report and cite it like a static PDF?
Exports include citations and version identifiers so a frozen PDF remains traceable to the corroboration state at export time.
